Speaking about it, Shruti Haasan shared her thoughts.\r\nShe said &ldquo;No, because a lot of people don\'t know what happened to me prior to me joining the film industry. I was humbled by life with my parents\' separation. We were not living in the big mansion, and when my mom decided to leave, we moved from Chennai to Mumbai. It wasn\'t comfortable. I am glad for those lessons because I learnt that you can go from Mercedes to local train&hellip; like really quick in life. Both are a journey that you can learn from.&rdquo;\r\nShe added &ldquo;When I joined the movies, by then I had reconnected with Appa, and I went to study music abroad. But I always had this sense of I want my own space and I want to earn my own money and I want my own independence. I was a bit attitude-y but when I look back it was not from a place of thinking that I am better. It was completely from a place of fear and thinking I am lesser, and projecting confidence.&rdquo;\r\nShruti Haasan is starring in Coolie alongside Rajinikanth under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj.\r\n
