Shruti Haasan says her glossy black hair is all thanks to this simple oil mix: ‘It's worked miracles for me'
Shruti Haasan, the Indian actor and singer known for her roles across Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema, recently appeared on The Ranveer Show podcast on July 11. In a candid chat, Shruti opened up about the secret behind her long, luscious black hair. (Also read: Saina Nehwal shares her fitness and diet secrets for staying in top shape: 'My go-to cardio hack for weight loss…' ) Shruti Haasan reveals her simple hair care routine with sesame oil. What's the secret behind Shruti Haasan's gorgeous hair When host Ranveer Allahbadia asked her how she maintains such healthy hair, Shruti revealed that it all comes down to one simple, age-old ingredient: sesame oil. "This is my natural hair colour," she began. 'And I use oil, only sesame oil. Sesame mixed with coconut or sesame mixed with almond, depending on my mood. But basically, sesame has worked miracles for my hair.' Shruti also shared her routine for oiling her hair and how often she uses it. "Before every wash," she said. "Like, I don't wash my hair every day. You shouldn't wash your hair every day. So if I'm shooting, then the night before, I'll put the oil in, go to sleep, wake up, wash, and go." For Shruti, oiling isn't just a beauty hack; it's a self-care ritual. "This oil is my rescue," she said, smiling. "Oils, I'm telling you, it's all about oil." In a world of expensive serums, heat treatments, and salon rituals, Shruti's simple hair routine is a gentle reminder that sometimes, less really is more, and that our grandmothers were right all along. About Shruti Hassan Shruti Haasan, known for her work across Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema, was last seen in a string of 2023 releases, including Veera Simha Reddy, Waltair Veerayya, The Eye, Hi Nanna, and Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire. She currently has an exciting lineup of projects in the works, including Coolie with Lokesh Kanagaraj, Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth, and Train by Mysskin.

HIT 3 script entirely original, accusations are false, says Nani
The actor files counter affidavit denying plagiarism allegations made by a Tamil writer. Actor Nani has filed a counter affidavit in response to a recent petition by Tamil scriptwriter and author Vimalavelan, who alleged that the actor's recent Telugu film HIT: The Third Case was plagiarised from his script (Agent 11) and novel (Agent V). Nani claimed that the accusations are 'false, misleading and unfounded'. Since Vimalavelan's script is written in Tamil, Nani and the other respondents stated that they are not familiar with the language and have requested for its official English translation so that they can give an effective and informed response on the alleged similarities between both scripts. They also claimed that the similarities pointed out by Vimalavelan are standard tropes and recurring motifs in the thriller, crime, and investigative genres. 'These elements are not unique, distinctive, or original to the plaintiff's work, nor are they protectable under copyright law,' stated the affidavit while opposing the writer's request for an interim injunction. Vimalavelan had claimed that he sent the synopsis of his script to Nani's mail ID that was mentioned on his Facebook page in 2022, and that's how the actor accessed his script. Responding to the same, the affidavit countered the claim and stated that the email address is 'not actively monitored for unsolicited creative submissions, nor is it used as an official channel for receiving or reviewing story/scripts'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Siemens Energy lidera com inovação Siemens Energy Saiba Mais Undo They also denied having reviewed or relied upon any email or material purportedly sent by the plaintiff.

Picture Credit: X Pooja Hegde is currently receiving rave reviews for her latest special appearance in the song 'Monica' from the much-awaited Tamil action thriller 'Coolie,' starring superstar Rajinikanth. Now, the latest reports suggest that the actress is making her long-awaited Tollywood comeback. According to a report by Gulte, after a long hiatus from Telugu cinema, Pooja is apparently in discussions to star in a new love story opposite Dulquer Salmaan . It sounds like it will mark the directorial debut of Ravi, an unknown from the world of Telugu cinema, and is being produced by the makers of 'Dasara' and the upcoming film 'Paradise.' Although she has not yet signed the dotted line, reports state that Pooja is leaning towards accepting the script and might be signing soon. Pooja's last full-fledged Telugu film was 'Acharya', which she signed back in 2020. She has spent limited time in Tollywood since, making a small appearance in 'F3', and was a member of 'Guntur Kaaram', however, she exited the film during the early production phase. Though she has not had success in Telugu cinema recently, she has a huge fan base. Her last major Telugu success was 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo', which remains one of the highest-grossing Telugu films in recent times. Shift to Tamil and Hindi films In the meantime, she has spent the last year working in Tamil and Hindi. In Tamil films, she worked opposite Vijay in 'Beast', and has multiple other projects in the works, such as 'Retro' and the upcoming films 'Jana Nayagan,' and 'Coolie'. If reports are to be believed and Dulquer is a part of the film, then, it will be his third outing after his two super hits with the romance drama 'Sita Raman' and finance drama film 'Lucky Bhaskar'.
