Shruti Haasan says South stars are more humble, God-fearing, compared to Bollywood
Actor Shruti Haasan recently spoke about her experience of working in Bollywood and South film industry. She mentioned that South stars are more humble compared to their contemporaries in in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, said that South film actors remain humble since they fear that, 'Saraswati ka haath sar se uth jayega (Goddess Saraswati will withdraw her blessings)'.advertisementShe further said, "I mean, it's hard to talk about being pious or anything of that sort in my home because my father doesn't believe in anything of that sort. But when I started working, I noticed those small things, like having coconut in the morning or having a photo of a deity sitting in the corner." "There were rules regarding what was and wasn't allowed on set, and the actor and their staff were always very aware of how they presented themselves. I found there to be a higher level of awareness and consciousness in the South, compared to when I worked in the Hindi film industry. I think it's just a South Indian thing to do; you know, many people who have a lot of money won't dress up very flashy. They will still have that old Ambassador car for many years. It's just the psychology of the place, and it's very important to realise that we are merely vessels for art," the actor went on."We aren't a conduit of any kind; the conduit is a good film, a good script or even a good song. We just receive that art, and we are supposed to spread it outwards. Learning music very early in my life and working with people in close quarters for hours on end teaches you to just play your bits, to not try to surpass anyone else, and to be humble," Shruti actor has featured in Hindi films such as 'Luck' (2009), 'Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji' (2011) and 'D-Day' (2013).Shruti was recently seen in actor Rajinikanth's 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film was released on August 14, 2025.- EndsMust Watch
