"This Sort Of Micro Racism...": Shruti Haasan Schools Fan Asking Her To Speak In South Indian Accent
Shruti Haasan, the daughter of Kamal Haasan, called out a fan for "micro racism" when asked to speak with a South Indian accent.
Actress and singer Shruti Haasan, who is the daughter of Kamal Haasan, recently conducted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Instagram, and it was during this session, that she schooled one fan for showing "micro racism" towards her. She also asked the fan not to "be funny" in this matter. It all started with a Shruti Haasan follower asking the actress to "say something in South Indian accent." Given Shruti Haasan is a Tamilian, the actress on Instagram Stories wrote, "Ok… So This sort of micro racism is not ok And it’s not ok when you look at us and say idli dosa sambar either. And no you don’t imitate us well so don’t try and be funny."

Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan had faced backlash for calling Ram Charan "idli vada" at the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Jamnagar, Gujarat.
Ram Charan's makeup artist Zeba Hassan claimed that she walked away after SRK's remark.
Taking to Instagram Stories, she said, "Bhend idly vada Ram charan kahan hai tu???' I walked out after this. So disrespectful towards a star like @alwaysramcharan.”
On the work front, Shruti Haasan was last seen in Prashanth Neel's 'Salaar: Part 1- Ceasefire', alongside Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
The film produced by Hombale Films also stars Jagapathi Babu, Bobby Simha, Sriya Reddy and Tinnu Anand.
