“No, It is my life, I wanted to make them proud and I knew they’d be proud that she’s working hard and that’s important. I have followed the beat of my own drum because the comparisons are really impossible for me to compete with. They both started when they were four-years-old, so, it’s difficult to even get into that head space…” she said.
The 32-year-old actress says she doesn’t take the comparisons on her.
“I always knew there would be comparisons but I never wanted to take it on board,” she said.
Shruti was here to walk the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2018 for designers Saaksha & Kinni’s line called “Raas” on day 4.
The actress sashayed down a voluminous ensemble that was dipped in earthy tones and featured exaggerated kaftan-styled sleeves. Her garment had triple layers, which were flared with metallic accents
In the Bollywood front, Shruti has completed over a decade. She says she has seen a lot of growth in herself and has also evolved as a person.
“This business teaches you a lot about patience, to stay true to who you are. I really learned by losing myself and finding myself again… I am thankful that I have stuck it out as long as I have and enjoyed myself. I didn’t plan any of this. I think it’s very divine and I feel blessed,” she added.
