In a fitting reply to the fat-shamers, Shruti Haasan told Mid-day, “It’s my face, my body. What I do with it is nobody’s business. What people write about me on social media does not bother me. I am not answerable to anyone.”
“Looking good is part of our job, but the unnecessary chatter about weight must be filtered. To maintain an ‘acceptable’ figure for an actress is impossible. We are human. We gain and lose weight for roles, and sometimes naturally too,” she says, confessing that she submitted to a regimen that was “beyond human” when she entered the industry.
Previously, Shruti has been trolled for getting a nose job and for playing the role of Malar in the Telugu version of the Malayalam blockbuster Premam. The role was played by Sai Pallavi in the original and the Internet seemed singularly displeased that the makers of the Telugu version had picked Shruti to play it.
