Shruti Haasan is the daughter of the renowned South Indian actor, Kamal Hassan. However, the news of Kamal Hassan and Sarika’s separation isn’t new to the country. The couple got separated when Shruti was a kid. They broke their 16-year-old marriage in the year 2004. The couple also had a younger daughter, Akshara Hassan.

Shruti Hassan once opened up about her parent’s separation. She said in an interview:

“I was just excited for them (her parents) to live their own lives. I was glad they separated as I do not think two people who are not getting along, should get along for some reason. They continue to be wonderful parents. I am particularly close to my dad. My mum is doing well and is a part of our lives as well. It actually panned out for the best,”
She added, “They are both uniquely wonderful and beautiful people. They were not that beautiful together anymore. That does not take away their individual beauty as human beings. When they separated, I was very young, and it was very simple, they were happier apart than they were together,”
