"My idea of romance is pretty old school." — Shruti Haasan

I have always been a fan of Mahesh Manjrekar's work. I like the way he tells his stories. He manages to focus on aspects of human beings and of society, which we don't often see in cinema.

I watch and appreciate all genres.

With music, I'm transported to a place that radiates positive frequencies and immediately eases my worries.

I am open to playback singing, but only if my acting schedule permits. I would love to sing for myself in my films, but that depends on the director and if the makers think my voice is needed.

I don't think I'm defying stereotypes on purpose. If it so appears that way, so be it. For me, I've been brought up that way.

I'm proud of my lineage but never really depended on it anyway whatsoever.

I will never endorse a fairness product because I was not comfortable growing up being the darkest person in my family. Also, I won't endorse alcohol, as I believe that it's not good for health.

I've never considered myself a feminist, but I'm happy that I've been raised as a strong, independent woman.
