The host of the show, Siddhaarth Aalambayan, asked Shruti during his conversation what feminism means to her. To this, the Pitta Kathalu actress said that the first example in her life is her own mother, her mother’s friends and teachers and those women in her life who set an example of ‘grace’. She further said, “By grace I mean, knowing who you are and why you are without having to shove it into anyone’s face.”

Talking about the women’s fight, Shruti said, “The female fight is different for every woman depending on strata of society, part of the world and part of the country. But personally, I want to be a woman who is open to having a conversation.” Elaborating more, the 36-year-old star said that the biggest problem in the world is that people are not willing to have this conversation and dialogue.

Shruti Haasan also spoke about how feminism means understanding the ‘opposition’ to the movement and also understanding where she stands in that whole scenario. She also said, “I don’t want to associate myself with a cluster but want to be a positive female force to the women and men in my life.”
We love how Shruti is never afraid to speak her mind and always has crystal-clear thoughts. Feminism has been a topic of debate and it is quite evident that Shruti is open to having conversations surrounding the topic to get a better understanding of what the opposite person thinks! And that is exactly how this dynamic should function. Instead of jumping to conclusions and bashing the entire movement, people should try and understand the core of it.
