While she may have her hands busy at present shooting for a Telugu film with Siddharth, Shruti Hassan says she will always find time for her first love. Shruti Haasan says, music is one of her biggest fascination. “Music is the food of love, life and all things beautiful,” starts off Shruti. “I am really keyed up to be performing in Chennai after a long time and truthfully, I think music has shaped me into the person that I am today.” 

A proficient pianist, Shruti says that she has been most prejudiced by musicians like Bob Marley, Tori Amos, The Beatles and Bob Dylan. She goes on to add, “I grew up listening to these artistes and this will be reflected in my gig tomorrow. We will be performing a very chilled out, mellow set and take my word for it, the acoustics will shine through.”  Ask her if daddy dearest will come with family in tow to support her, “I want him to come see Shruti the musician and artiste, and not Shruti, his daughter. I want the music to speak for itself.”
