\r\nShruti Haasan praises South Stars. Shruti Haasan, daughter of legendary actor Kamal Haasan, who is known for her multifaceted and multi talented personality, speaking to scribes, showered praises on South actors.\r\nShruti Haasan said south stars fears &lsquo;Saraswati ka haath sar se uth jayega (Goddess Saraswati will withdraw her blessings)\'.She added &ldquo;I mean, it&rsquo;s hard to talk about being pious or anything of that sort in my home because my father doesn&rsquo;t believe in anything of that sort. But when I started working, I noticed those small things, like having coconut in the morning or having a photo of a deity sitting in the corner.\"\r\nShruti Haasan continued \"There were rules regarding what was and wasn&rsquo;t allowed on set, and the actor and their staff were always very aware of how they presented themselves. I found there to be a higher level of awareness and consciousness in the South, compared to when I worked in the Hindi film industry. I think it&rsquo;s just a South Indian thing to do; you know, many people who have a lot of money won&rsquo;t dress up very flashy. They will still have that old Ambassador car for many years. It&rsquo;s just the psychology of the place, and it&rsquo;s very important to realise that we are merely vessels for art,\"\r\nShruti Haasan shared \"We aren&rsquo;t a conduit of any kind; the conduit is a good film, a good script or even a good song. We just receive that art, and we are supposed to spread it outwards. Learning music very early in my life and working with people in close quarters for hours on end teaches you to just play your bits, to not try to surpass anyone else, and to be humble.\"\r\n
