Want to be associated with singing again: Shruti Haasan

NEW DELHI, June 5: Her passion for music may have taken a backseat all these years due to her preoccupation with acting but actress Shruti Haasan now  wants to return to singing .

   Talking  here, Shruti, who had established a niche for herself as a singer and music director before making her presence felt in Bollywood as well as the South Indian film industry, said she misses singing and music a lot these days. ”Before acting in films, I was full time into singing and music. For 365 days in a year, I used to do only singing and music direction. However, then a time came when I had to devote all my time to acting and films.. Doing films is something that takes up lot of your time. So, due to my preoccupation with acting, I am not able to give much time for singing. Infact, I used to do five to seven films at one time which made it extremely difficult for me to devote time to singing although in between  I have done some playback singing for films,”Shruti said. ”I miss singing and music a lot which is why I want to be associated with it again. I am trying to strike out a balance between acting and singing /music so that I am able to find time for both,”Shruti said. In this context, she said that her upcoming film ‘Behen Hogi Teri’ is also associated with music. ”In the film, I play Binny, the daughter of the owner of Jagran band . During the shooting I felt as if I had gone on a music tour,”she said.

 Talking about her role in the film, the actress said,”for me the film is very important .  There are a lot of similarities between me and Binny. Though she is an ordinary girl, Binny is quite strong while at the same time being quite sensitive just like I am in real life.” Directed by Ajay K Parasjar, ‘Behen Hogi Teri’ features Shruti in the lead with actor Rajkummar Rao in the lead role. It also features actor Gulshan Grover in a key role. (AGENCIES)
