Actress, singer, and musician Shruti Haasan is ringing in her 40th birthday today (January 28, 2026), and fans across social media are flooding her with heartfelt wishes, praising her versatility, bold choices, and enduring screen presence.
Born on January 28, 1986, to legendary actor Kamal Haasan and actress Sarika, Shruti has carved her own path in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema while also pursuing music passionately. From her debut in Luck and breakthrough roles in films like 7aum Arivu, 3, and Salaar, to her recent powerful performance in Coolie, she continues to impress with her range.
To mark the special day, the team of her upcoming Telugu film Aakasamlo Oka Tara unveiled her first-look poster, which has gone viral online. In the striking poster, Shruti is seen with a cigarette in her mouth, exuding quiet confidence, composure, and a trailblazing aura. The makers captioned it: “A trailblazer in every sense…. Team Aakasamlo Oka Tara wishes Shruti Haasan a very Happy Birthday. And Meet a character that stands her ground and owns her space.”
This powerful image has sparked massive buzz, with fans calling it bold, intriguing, and perfectly hinting at a strong, independent character. Directed by Pavan Sadineni, the film stars Dulquer Salmaan in the lead (his next Telugu outing after hits like Sita Ramam and Lucky Baskhar), alongside debutant Satvika Veeravalli as the female lead, and others including Keshav Deepak and Ruhani Sharma. Touted as a feel-good adventure-drama with emotional depth, the project is produced under Dulquer’s banner and is progressing towards a potential summer 2026 release (with Netflix confirmed for post-theatrical OTT rights).
Other teams, including Salaar makers, also joined the celebrations by sharing special birthday posters of Shruti from their films, wishing her success in upcoming projects like Shouryaanga Parvam and Salaar 2.
Social media is abuzz with birthday tributes: “Happy 40th to the queen of versatility!”, “That Aakasamlo Oka Tara poster is fire! Shruti slaying again”, and “From Kamal sir’s daughter to a star in her own right – legend!”.
As Shruti steps into her 40s, her fans and the industry eagerly await more exciting announcements and powerful performances. Happy Birthday, Shruti Haasan! May this year bring more milestones and magic!
