Shruti on what Kamal hates. Shruti Haasan daughter of legendary actor Kamal Haasan speaking to scribes, shared startling secrets about her dad.\r\nShe said \"We grew up in an atheist home; a non-religious home. My dad hates it when I say this, but we didn&rsquo;t have God at home. None of that stuff that other homes have. It&rsquo;s so alien, the concept of religion and God. Somewhere, in my child brain, I knew art was God. Every day of the week would be devoted to artistic endeavours.\"\r\nShe added \"If you went and said astrology to my dad, he&rsquo;d be like, &lsquo;Get out&rsquo;. He is very practical. He can gauge people better than therapists because he&rsquo;s been acting since the age of four &ndash; and so has my mum. They&rsquo;ve become readers of people, better than therapists and psychologists. It&rsquo;s literally their survival instinct as actors. He has become more relaxed as a human being; now, with age, he has mellowed.\"\r\nShruti Haasan is currently playing an important role in Rajinikanth\'s Coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film stars&nbsp; Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Monisha Blessy, and Kaali Venkat. Bollywood star Aamir Khan also makes a cameo appearance.
