Shruti Haasan, who has proved her acting mettle across languages, celebrated her 38th birthday on January 28th. Shruti, daughter of veteran actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika, has offered glimpses of her birthday party. No prizes for guessing that the party was Goth-themed. In the video shared by the star, not only are Shruti and guests dressed in black to match with the theme but they are also seen including in a cake decorated with skull motifs. Yes, you read that right. The birthday girl was joined by boyfriend and artist Santanu Hazarika, sister Akshara Haasan, and her mother Sarika. Sharing the video, Shruti Haasan said: “Birthday dump. Best one with the ones I love. Sober girls eat cake. All love no hate. Getting wise to bs. Thankful and staying blessed.” In the video, she is also seen opening some presents.
Santanu Hazarika has the sweetest response to the video. Praising Shruti, he said: “The best in the world ! The glue that holds everyone together.”
We also got a closer look at Shruti Haasan's skull cake thanks to her Instagram Stories. Along with the image, she wrote: "Thankyou so much for this. Loved it so much. It was delicious."
Meanwhile, late last year, socialite Orry AKA Orhan Awatramani claimed that Shruti Haasan was already married to Santanu. Quashing the rumours, Shruti Haasan clarified in a post on X (earlier known as Twitter), "So, I'm not married. For someone who has been open about every single thing, why would I hide this? LOL. So people who don't know me at all, please calm down."
Santanu Hazarika wrote on Instagram: "Y'all need to calm down! We are not married! Individuals who don't know us please stop spreading rumours," with a folded-hands emoji.
