Shruti Haasan was attacked by an unidentified stalker at her residence in Bandra Mumbai. According to reports, the stalker allegedly tried to barge into Shruti's residence, but her timely act of closing the door prevented the man from entering her house in suburban Bandra.

A source close to the 27-year-old actress said that Shruti Haasan opened the door when a man rang the doorbell of her sixth floor residence in her building at about 9.30 am.

"The man wanted to know from her why she was not recognising him and not talking to him. Shruti Haasan did not entertain the man, saying she did not know him, but the man tried to barge into her house. Shruti immediately banged the door," the source said.

The stalker was seen on her movie sets on a number of occasions, the source said.

Reacting to the attack on the actress, famous south actress Khushbu Sundar posted a tweet.
