Shruti Haasan makes shocking claim about South Indian stars, says they behave humbly due to..., here's what she said about Vijay and Prabhas
In a candid chat on Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, popular actress Shruti Haasan shared an insightful perspective on the humble public image of South Indian superstars. While they may seem modest off-screen, Shruti says this isn't always their natural personality trait; it's often rooted in a deep-seated fear of losing success. 'They believe that it will all go away if they aren't humble,' Shruti revealed, suggesting that their grounded demeanour is a conscious choice.

They feel that Saraswati ka haath hat jayega,' she said, adding that there's an inherent reverence for art and artistry among these actors. Which industry gave Shruti Haasan her big break? Despite her pan-India career, Shruti admits Tollywood will always be special to her. 'My life changed because Telugu gave me my first home of success. Hyderabad and I have always had a connection,' she said. She fondly recalled attending an award show as a child to collect an award on behalf of her father, reading out his speech, and dreaming of one day accepting one for herself. Initially wanting to be a director, fate had other plans, and she embraced acting. What was it like working with the big names? Having shared screen space with names like Pawan Kalyan, Vijay, Prabhas, and now Rajinikanth in her upcoming film Coolie, Shruti shared some personal anecdotes. She said, 'Both Pawan Kalyan and Vijay are 'very quiet gentlemen', but Prabhas isn't,' she said with a smile. 'He's so fun. He's been so kind to me. He's thankful (for his success), but he's very nonchalant. Some days, he's still processing it, to be honest. He's seen his share of challenges, and now this has happened; there's something very human and sweet about him.' When it comes to Rajinikanth, Shruti couldn't stop praising his vibe on set. She said, 'He is very nice and easy to converse with. He doesn't carry that gravitas… he brings a lot of good energy.' From decoding industry behaviour to sharing warm behind-the-scenes stories, Shruti Haasan's candid revelations show us the human side of superstardom — one rooted in humility, artistry, and fear of losing the very magic that made them icons.
