Actor and musician Shruti Haasan has never shied away from speaking her mind. She opened up about the scrutiny she continues to face for acknowledging her use of cosmetic procedures, a subject often treated with silence in the entertainment industry.In a recent conversation with THR India, Haasan recalled how her candidness was met with harsh remarks. 'When I spoke up, I got comments like, 'oh, yeh to plastic surgery ki dukaan hai' (oh, she is full of plastic surgery). But I know what and how much I have done, and how much more others have. That's the price you pay for honesty. It is okay. And I never promote it. This is my choice,' she said.For Haasan, the larger issue lies in the double standards women face when it comes to beauty and authenticity. She stressed that her choices are deeply personal and never intended to set an example for others.Haasan added, 'In love, in life, in work, fingers will always be pointed at you for blowing the whistle or speaking the truth or calling something out for what it is. But what a good price to pay."Even as she continues to challenge societal expectations off-screen, Haasan is enjoying a high point in her career. Her latest film, 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and co-starring Rajinikanth, has emerged as one of the biggest Tamil blockbusters of the year.Since its release on August 14, the action entertainer has grossed over Rs 400 crore worldwide, cementing its place as a major box office success.The film, which is not part of Kanagaraj's celebrated cinematic universe, (Kaithi, Vikram, Leo) tells the story of Deva (Rajinikanth), a man on a mission to uncover the truth behind his friend Rajasekhar's death. Alongside Haasan and Rajinikanth, the ensemble cast features Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Rachita Ram, Upendra, and Aamir Khan in key roles.- EndsMust Watch
