Shruti Haasan, the multi-talented star of Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema, recently appeared on The Ranveer Show podcast on July 11 and got real about love, life, and why marriage might never be part of her story.
In a refreshingly honest conversation, the actor-singer shared her personal views on commitment, motherhood, and the fear that keeps her from tying the knot.
“I’m petrified of marriage”
When asked why she’s never wanted to get married, Shruti didn’t hold back.
“I’ve worked so hard my whole life to be my own person that the idea of attaching it by a piece of paper feels really scary to me,” she said.
While she admitted that she believes in commitment and loyalty, the traditional concept of marriage simply doesn’t sit well with her.
She’s come close, but...
Shruti revealed that she has come close to getting married in the past. But when asked why it didn’t happen, she replied with a hint of cheeky honesty, “It wasn’t my fault.”
She explained that it wasn’t due to betrayal or secrets but simply incompatibility, something she couldn’t ignore when considering a future, especially one involving children.
“I’ve always wanted to be a mother”
Despite her aversion to marriage, Shruti Haasan opened up about her deep desire to become a mother.
“Yes, always. I’ve always wanted to be a mother,” she said.
But she added that she doesn’t want to do it alone.
“I’ve never wanted to be a single mother because I think two parents are important for a child,” she explained, making it clear she values the idea of co-parenting deeply.
Not judging, just choosing differently
Shruti was quick to clarify that her choice isn’t a judgment on others.
“I’m not shaming those who have one parent, of course not,” she said.
What’s next for Shruti?
Professionally, Shruti is on a roll. After a packed 2023 with films like Veera Simha Reddy, Waltair Veerayya, Hi Nanna, The Eye, and Salaar: Part 1 Ceasefire, she has an exciting lineup in 2025. Fans can look forward to Coolie with Lokesh Kanagaraj, Jana Nayagan directed by H. Vinoth, and Train by Mysskin.
