Shruti’s Bold Glam Look in Her 40s Turns Heads

Shruti Haasan, who turns 40 today, stunned on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter India. She said, “The lessons that cinema has taught me have helped me grow as a musician and as a person.”

For the cover, she wore a bold, cinematic look with a “bad-girl” style and luxury brands. In one shot, she posed confidently in a deep-cherry leather outfit—a tube top, mini skirt, and long trench—next to a white BMW SUV. Another photo shows her inside the car, with red lights and a black leather jacket giving a sharp, edgy vibe. The shoot highlights her gothic-glam style while keeping the polished feel of a top entertainment magazine.

Meanwhile, rumours suggested she might be dating filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj. During a recent media interaction, Lokesh addressed the speculation, saying he is happily married with a family and rejecting any suggestion of a “second family.” The rumours apparently started after Shruti appeared in a video album and starred in his film Coolie, but Lokesh clearly maintained that he is committed to his family.
