Shruti Haasan goes on digital detox ahead of Coolie release

Shruti Haasan’s decision to take a digital detox comes shortly after her X account displayed bizarre memecoin-related posts in June, prompting speculation of a hack, though she chose not to issue an official clarification

Actress and musician Shruti Haasan has decided to take a break from social media, opting for a digital detox to focus on her mental well-being. Known for her vibrant online presence and regular updates on platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), Shruti shared the news with her followers on Monday, July 7.

Posting a message on her Instagram story, the actress wrote, “Digital detox. Silence. See you in a bit lovelies,” signalling her temporary departure from the digital world. The move reflects Shruti’s consistent emphasis on mindfulness and self-care, even as she balances a demanding career in the entertainment industry. Her social media, often filled with music snippets, behind-the-scenes moments, and candid reflections, has earned her a loyal fan following.

The announcement follows a recent incident where Shruti’s X account appeared to be compromised. In late June, her profile displayed a series of unusual posts related to cryptocurrency and memecoins. Though she did not release a formal statement regarding the situation, many fans speculated that her account had been hacked.

Continues film commitments amid break

Despite the social media hiatus, Shruti remains active on the professional front. She is part of the star-studded cast of Coolie, an action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film, generating considerable buzz, also features legendary actors Rajinikanth, Aamir Khan, and Nagarjuna. Scheduled for release on August 14, Coolie is expected to be one of the year’s major cinematic events.

Shruti Haasan, daughter of iconic actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan and actress Sarika, made her adult acting debut in Bollywood with Luck in 2009. She soon gained recognition in Telugu and Tamil cinema with films like Gabbar Singh, 3, Race Gurram, Srimanthudu, and Vedalam, among others. Her versatility has allowed her to maintain a strong presence across multiple film industries, earning both critical acclaim and box office success.
