A lifelong musical journey
While the moment captured her nervousness, Shruti was no stranger to the world of music, even at that young age. The star, daughter of Kamal Haasan, sang her first-ever song at just six years old for her father’s 1992 film ‘Kshatriya Putrudu’, with music composed by the legendary Ilaiyaraaja. She later lent her voice to other popular songs, including the evergreen ‘Chupadi Chupadi Chaachi’ from ‘Chachi 420’ and ‘Rama Rama’ from ‘Hey Ram’, proving her musical talent long before she became a leading lady.Over the years, she built a prolific career as a playback singer alongside her acting, delivering hits like ‘Kannazhaga Kaalazhaga’ from ‘3’, ‘Junction Lo’ from ‘Aagadu’, and ‘Yendi Yendi’ from ‘Puli’. Her most recent major role as an actress was in the Rajinikanth starrer, ‘Coolie’, which hit theaters in August 2025.
