Shruti Haasan, Kamal Haasan's daughter, admits she never looked for work using her parents' name
Shruti Haasan, who has made a name for herself not only in Bollywood but also in regional cinema, recently admitted that she has never used her actor parents' names to acquire a job or pay her bills. Shruti claimed that she still struggles to find a good job in Bollywood despite being the superstar Kamal Haasan and Sarika Thakur's daughter.
In a recent interview with a news portal, the Salaar actress said, “I have never denied and I don't think you should when you have a surname. I know it opened a door for me. But I also know, with my hand on my heart and God as my witness, that I have never used my parents' name or connections to get a job through, get something done or even pay my bills after I started working.”
“I have worked through this business like any other person and I am proud of that but I never take away from the fact that my surname opened doors,” she added further.
Haasan concluded by stating, “We all last only as long as the opportunities we have.”
On the work front, Shruti Haasan will be next seen in Prashanth Neel’s Salaar opposite Prabhas. The film which was initially postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic will now be released in 2023.
