Shruti Haasan is receiving widespread praise for her composed and mature response during an interview with NDTV, where she was subtly provoked by a "pro-feminist anchor." The clip from the interview is now viral on social media.
The interviewer seemingly tried to create a rift by implying that Shruti might want to take more credit for the success of Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire, a film where she starred alongside Prabhas.

However, Shruti, known for her poise and professionalism, handled the situation with grace. She firmly acknowledged Prabhas as the primary face of the film, highlighting his tremendous efforts in building his career and how Salaar is largely shaped by Prabhas's presence.
She expressed, "Prabhas has worked so much to build a career, Prashanth Neel has worked so hard to build a career, and they are the pillars of Salaar. I might be part of Salaar, but Salaar is not about me. I am perfectly fine with the fact that it is a Prabhas film."
