Revisiting a heartfelt video from her YouTube channel, Shruti Haasan’s perspective on self-care is as unique as her artistic identity. On World Health Day, her message stands out as a powerful reminder that self-care is personal — not prescriptive. Whether through music, movement, or just taking a pause, Shruti believes in carving your own path to wellness.
In her own words:
“Self-care is very important, and you should do it in whatever way makes you happy. People often tell me, ‘You should really meditate,’ but I don’t know how to sit and blank my mind. I’ve found different ways to do it — like this thing called ‘breath of fire,’ where I channel into my third eye — but I do it with heavy metal because that’s what centres me. Playing the piano is my meditation. Watching Love Is Blind is my meditation. It doesn’t matter what it is — whatever feels like meditation to you, in terms of loving yourself and giving yourself the room to breathe and just be — I think that’s where real self-care lies.”
As we celebrate holistic well-being today, Shruti’s raw and real approach offers a comforting truth: peace looks different for everyone. Fans can soon see her on the big screen in Coolie alongside Rajnikanth, releasing on August 14, and in her international debut The Eye, slated to release later this year.
