Shruti Hassan has come of age!

 

 I have always believed that “Shruti Hassan” has what it takes to be a star. A super star dad, mother "Sarika" who was a superstar herself, though, her career was short lived due to her decision of settling down and an upbringing shadowed by her star kid status.

There is a level of comfort among most star kids when it comes to facing the camera and presenting themselves aptly in front of the world. It could be due the pressure they bear while getting all the attention and pampering during their growing years that acting comes naturally to them.
I am in no way suggesting that they don’t have to work hard to get what they get, if they get and be what they become.

Though, I would fancy knowing her, I have never met “Shruti Hassan” personally, professionally or accidentally, so don’t know how she is in her personal life. But, there is a faint mischievous character lurking right behind those intense eyes. 

 "I could not help noticing her ravishingly beautiful eyes and a well toned body."

 Recently, I saw Hindi movie "D-day" starring “Arjun Rampal”, “Rishi Kapoor” and “Shruti hassan”. 

A directorial venture by Nikhil. I guess, apart from Bollywood début of “Shruti hassan”, I have seen most of her films and must confess, I could not help noticing her ravishingly beautiful eyes and a well toned body.

But, what was most irritating was that all the characters “Shruti Hassan” played so far lacked emotional subtlety.

She had to prove it to the critics that she is a polished actor and can do much more than dancing around the trees.

Finally, when I saw her in the movie D-Day I was impressed by her effortless performance. She plays the role of a prostitute and how she adds grace to it was commendable. I must also praise the make up artists and stylist of the film for doing their jobs perfectly.
It may have been a smaller role, but, how “Shruti Hassan” got into the skin of that prostitute’s character and carried it so flawlessly, she was an aesthetic pleasure. To me, she proved it yet again, she has come of age.
