All not well for Shruti with her mother Sarika

All is not well for Sruthi Hasan with her mother Sarika?

July 25, 2008

If the buzz in Bollywood is to be believed, all is not well with Kamal Hassan's daughter Shruti Haasan, a budding actress and singer and her mother actress Sarika.

Apparently, mother and daughter have not been in touch or even on talking terms for quite some time now.

According to a source from Mumbai, who is close to Sarika, the trouble started when Shruti finished her education in London and decided to move back to Chennai and live with her father Kamal Haasan and his friend, former actress Gowthami.

Sarika is believed to have been against Shruti's decision and started to distance herself from her daughter.

According to the source, Shruti had attempted to reconcile with Sarika on several occasions. "Shruti tried to call her mother on several occasions and sent her SMSes, but they went unanswered," said Sarika's friend.

When Shruti made her debut as a singer at the launch of Rolling Stones magazine, the entire family — Kamal, Gowthami and sister Akshara — were present to cheer her. But Mumbai-based Sarika was conspicuous by her absence.

Later Shruti performed once again with her band the Extra Mentals at a night club in Mumbai and repeatedly asked her mother to come. But Sarika stayed away.

The reason for the rift is believed to be Gowthami's bond with the children. The actress is not only a friend, philosopher and guide to Shruti, but will also accompany her to South Africa, where a schedule of her debut film Luck with Imran Khan is being shot.

When contacted Shruti, she didn't deny the rift. The forthright young star clarified, "I admit that there has been some distance between me and my mother. Nevertheless, I love my mother dearly and I am grateful to her for bringing me into this world and for everything she has done for me. Having said that, the members of my family and I have tried extending our hand to her on several occasions. But I believe it's her life and her personal choice if she chooses not to communicate with us. I respect her decision and do not intend on forcing my will on her."

ouch...what a heart sarika has.....but we only know shruti's side of the story so ill keep my judgements to myself.

ya i read about this, even in her interview with bollywood hungama..they asked her about the rift but she just avoided the question.

A real shame if it's true. Of course we don't know the ins and outs of the situation but just from the surface, I think Sarika's being way too cold. Whatever went on, she's still your daughter!

her daughter being on such friendly terms (even to the extent of accomanying her to outdoor shoots - the task that is usually a mom does ) with the woman who stole her husband, i guess for a mother thats like a betrayal of sorts.....

That is sad to hear. But then who knows what Sarika feels and perhaps the situation is different in her point of view? I don't know what to believe, but perhaps time will be able to heal the strife between mother and daughter.

There are always two sides to a story, so Sarika may have her reasons. Still the story is sad, hopefully one day Sarika can have a relationship with her daughter again.

i think i can understand sarika's POV. a women stole her hubby. then when she was hoping for her daughter to give her company she also went to her father and not only tht became so freindly to a woman who did this to her mother. i think its natural for her to be upset. my heart goes to sarika. shruti being a woman first should understand this before making such statements. like what did she want that should be again friendly to her hubby and a women who broke her house. no way.

My heart goes out to Sarika too in this case. Both the kids are with the father obv cos he is much richer. Sarika refused alimony after the divorce and set out to start life afresh in Mumbai. Both Sruthi and Akshara starting going around with Gouthami and her kid as though nothing hpnd and started socialising way too much with Gouthami. Difficult for any woman to bear this betrayal.....Anyways hope things sort out soon.

First of all she's a singer? = / lol i didnt know that
