Reflecting on her parents' divorce, she added,“But I have seen the other side of it as well. When my parents split up, everything changed.” Discussing how her parents' separation influenced her understanding of financial independence, she noted,“That's when I realised the value of financial independence, personality dependent independence.”

Sharing an insight, Shruti Haasan said that there are homes where parents stay together for the sake of society and suggested that there is more pain in those homes because it is hidden.
