Shruti, who flew to the capital to stand by her father, chose grace over grandeur –her understated presence speaking volumes. Known for forging her own path in Indian cinema and music, she was there not as a public figure, but simply as a daughter – proud, emotional, and unwavering in her support. Following the oath-taking ceremony, she took to Instagram to share a tender story with just a few heartfelt words: 'Love you and proud of you Appa. Always." Here is her post: Kamal Haasan takes oath as Rajya Sabha MP Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan made his debut in Parliament on Friday, July 25, taking oath as a Rajya Sabha MP in Tamil during the fifth day of the Monsoon Session. Haasan, who was elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha in June as part of the DMK-led bloc, delivered his oath in Tamil, receiving enthusiastic desk-thumping from fellow parliamentarians. Following the ceremony, he greeted Deputy Rajya Sabha Chairman Harivansh. Speaking to the media ahead of the swearing-in, Haasan said, 'I am proud and honoured. I'm going to swear in and register my name. As an Indian, I will do my duty." Haasan's party, Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM), had joined hands with the DMK-led alliance ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. As part of the seat-sharing arrangement, MNM was assured a Rajya Sabha seat in exchange for its support. He filed his nomination on June 6 at the Tamil Nadu Secretariat, accompanied by Chief Minister MK Stalin, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, and key alliance leaders including VCK's Thol.
