Last seen in films like Veera Simha Reddy and Waltair Veerayya, Shruti Haasan has impressed the audiences as a performer. Whether it’s her acting in multi-lingual projects or her music, Shruti has showcased her versatility on many occasions and recognising this along with her support towards social causes, she was awarded the Power Corridors (PC) Indian Achiever’s Award on January 17 at Vigyan Bhavan in Delhi.

Shruti Haasan received this honour from Anurag Thakur, who is currently the Minister of Sports, Youth Affairs and Minister of Information and Broadcasting. Indian Achievers Award is a prestigious Indian National Award for acknowledging and recognizing the efforts and dedication of citizens who came forward to serve the nation from various domains.

A source close to the actress added, “Shruti Haasan has successfully completed 15 years in the entertainment industry. Apart from being an actor and singer, Shruti’s philanthropic work and her passion for causes that matter made her the ideal choice for the award. For instance, Shruti is the brand ambassador of WWF (World Wide Fund For Nature) India and is seen supporting the cause on various occasions. She is also a proud advocate of Mental Health and promotes acceptance and opening up to these issues as individuals and as a society. She has also held interviews with experts on the matter to throw further light on the topic. Apart from this, Shruti has also created awareness around women menstrual health, a topic spoken by very few.”

Commenting on receiving the honour, Shruti added, “I’m very happy to have received this award on the presence of the other exemplary awardees and I’d like to thank the jury for the same. It is always humbling to be appreciated for artistic work and I’m thankful to have the opportunity to use my platform for the causes and topics that matter the most to me.” she says.

On work front, 2023 has started off on a great note for the actress with the Chiranjeevi starrer Waltair Veerayya making news. Besides that, she also has the magnum opus Salaar, opposite Prabhas, and her international film The Eye in the pipeline for release this year.
