Shruti Haasan is never shy of speaking her mind. She has reacted to the rumours of her alleged lip-job that are doing rounds in social media.

In a conversation with Mid-Day, Shruti lashed out at people who tried to body-shame her. She said, “It’s my face, my body. What I do with it is nobody’s business.”

She further said, “What people write about me on social media does not bother me. I am not answerable to anyone.”

On the work front, Shruti awaits the release of her next Behen Hogi Teri. She plays a Lucknowi girl in the film. She said, “I have never played this kind of role. It was really exciting and thanks to my director who was amazingly helpful with the accent and other references.”

Having shot in places across the world, this is the first time Shruti shot in Lucknow, and she says it helped her to get into her character. “We shot extensively in Lucknow, in real places and amid real people. Everything felt so real and I was bowled over by the city’s people. Shooting in live locations, especially amid lovely people in a culture-rich city, enhanced my performance to a great extent,” she said, adding she had a blast bonding with people of Lucknow.

Behen Hogi Teri will hit the screens on June 9, 2017.
