Actor Shruti Haasan recently took to Instagram to share a touching piece of her past—a rare childhood photo featuring her with her parents, Kamal Haasan and Sarika. This throwback image captures a moment of familial bliss before the couple’s eventual separation.
Taking to her Instagram story, Shruti posted the old picture, which showcases a young Shruti in the arms of dad Kamal while Sarika is seen standing beside him. The picture was originally shared by a fan who wrote, “I found this in my dad’s cabinet, and it seems to be original.” The photo seems to have been taken at Kamal’s native village Paramakudi.

Before Sarika, Kamal Haasan was married to Vani Ganapathy. He fell in love with Sarika when he was married to Vani. After divorcing Vani, he married Sarika in 1988 and had two daughters, Shruti and Akshara Haasan. However, his marriage with Sarika also didn’t last long as the two parted ways in 2004.
In an interview in 2000, Kamal confessed that he never wanted to be part of the institution of marriage. “I was fast losing faith in the institution of marriage itself, at that time. I always spoke of it loudly, to the shock of people. I said it on the first day I got married that I didn’t want to,” he said.
Nevertheless, Kamal Haasan and Sarika have remained influential figures in their daughters’ lives. Shruti, in particular, has followed in her parents’ footsteps, establishing herself as a talented actor and singer. On the other hand, Akshara Haasan, who has expressed her interest in direction, has worked as an assistant director and also tried her hand at acting.
Currently, Shruti Haasan is part of many big-budget projects including Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambara, Prabhas’ Salaar Part 2, and Chennai Story. On the other hand, Kamal Haasan is awaiting the release of Indian 2 on July 12, 2024. He is currently working on Mani Ratnam’s Thug Life.
