  "account": "Shruti Haasan, daughter of legendary actor Kamal Haasan, has recently discussed her thoughts on marriage and parenthood in a candid interview. The 39-year-old actress expressed her reluctance to attach her identity to a legal document and her desire to live life independently without the pressures of marriage. When asked about her aversion towards the idea of tying the knot, Shruti clarified that she does not oppose the concept itself, but rather prefers to avoid the extravagance and societal expectations that often come with it. She admitted to enjoying companionship but feels that marriage should not be a chore. Shruti is open to the idea of adopting a child and cherishes the thought of being a mother, either through biological means or adoption. The actress, who was previously in a committed relationship with illustrator Santanu Hazarika, is currently single and actively seeking to enjoy her life and career.",
