Popular actress Shruti Hassan never shies away from sharing her unfiltered opinion about stuff. The actress will soon be seen in films like 'Salaar' and 'Veer Simha Reddy' and apart from these, she has also bagged a Hollywood project titled 'The Eye'. In a recent media interaction, Shruti opened up about her initial struggle in the film industry. She shared that back then people had nothing nice to say about her but things have changed now.

Shruti told Pinkvilla, "You go with the good intention to do the best you can. Some work, some don’t like you, and that doesn’t matter as long as you can look and say ‘am improving with every film, learning with every film’. For me, when I joined the industry, people didn’t have nice things to say but today, they do, and I’m thankful for that. When I joined, I didn’t understand my passion for the business I do today. So it’s a journey.”

The actress further added, "I have been frank and open about who I am. When I joined the industry, people were like you can’t dress yourself this way or speak because people won’t understand it. After a particular age, I was not hurting anyone and not trying to step on people’s toes but being myself and I need to share that. Social media gives us an avenue to be ourselves. Not saying everyone has to do it, but this is the way I enjoy doing it."
