Well, Shruti who is 35 years of age now, further said, 'there was this fear of being an independent woman. Today, I can talk about it openly.

Well, this is not the first time, the actress opened up about it. Earlier, in a conversation with a news portal, she said, 'I was happy that they did what they did because they're both wonderful individuals who deserved happiness in their own parameters.
