In Short

• Shruti Haasan said she trims and treats her own hair at home
• She revealed the last time she coloured her hair was 2017
• The actor got her belly button pierced when she was 19, something that made her father angry

Actor-singer Shruti Haasan recently shared some personal stories during an Ask Me Anything session on Instagram, opening up about her hair care routine and a decision from her teenage years that had upset her father, actor Kamal Haasan. During the interaction, Shruti revealed that she has not visited a hair salon in at least five years and also recalled getting a belly button piercing when she was 19.

The Instagram session offered a glimpse into her personal choices around appearance and self-expression, themes she has spoken about publicly in the past. Shruti also referred to the piercing as part of her rebellious phase and shared that her father had been "very, very angry" about it.

After a fan asked if she had a belly piercing and when she got it done, Shruti Haasan replied, "Yes, I do. When I was 19. My appa was very, very angry about it. #teenagerebel."

While she did not elaborate further, Shruti described the decision as part of her rebellious phase. The elder daughter of Kamal Haasan and actor Sarika has often spoken publicly about her close and playful relationship with her father. Over the years, she has also been candid about her choices around fashion, appearance and self-expression.

Responding to a fan who asked about her hair care routine and how often she visits salons for treatments and styling, Shruti said she has stayed away from salons for years. "I haven't been to a hair salon in at least five years. The last time I coloured my hair was in 2017. I cut and treat my own hair," she wrote.

The actor, known for her signature long black hair and distinctive style choices, said she prefers to manage her hair maintenance herself rather than relying on regular salon visits.

Shruti Haasan recently unveiled the song Emaindi from Sing Geetham, directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao. On the work front, she was last seen in a cameo appearance in the Hellallallo song from Peddi, starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor. Up next, she will be seen in the long-delayed Tamil film Train, directed by Mysskin and co-starring Vijay Sethupathi. In Telugu, she is set to share screen space with Dulquer Salmaan in Pavan Sadineni’s Aakasamlo Oka Tara.
