Actress Shruti Haasan has been away from the big screen for a while. She recently made an appearance on Lakshmi Manchu’s chat show, where she opened up about the break.
She said, “I don't care what other people have to say. I took one-year’s break because I’ve been doing the same and similar roles. In fact, I have only one type of connectivity with my audience. But I strongly feel if I have a healthy mind and a healthy body, I can deal with everything going on in the outside world.”
Shruti also spoke about how she has been away from alcohol for a year. “Yeah, I was a big-time whiskey lover. I have taken a break and decided to stop everything. This is a new change for me. Actually, I was unwell and I did not tell anybody. I thought it is personal and I did not share my illness with outsiders or friends. I underwent a medical condition and was trying to heal myself,” she reportedly shared. This was when Lakshi asked her, "I know you’re a big-time whiskey lover but nowadays you are not having anything. When we first met, we had gone to my favourite restaurant and now I come to know that you’ve stopped having everything, tell me what exactly happened?"
She was last seen in Behen Hogi Teri in 2017.
