Artist Karuna in Mee Inti Vanta

Kollywood star heroine Shruti Haasan needs no special introduction. Beginning her career as a singer, she gradually carved a niche for herself in films. Initially, she acted in several movies as the female lead, but her career didn’t take off as expected, leading to her being labeled “iron leg” in the industry. However, after the blockbuster success of Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh, Shruti’s fortunes changed, and she became busy with back-to-back pan-India projects.

With Salaar, she cemented her status as a true pan-India beauty. In the same year, she starred alongside Balakrishna in Veera Simha Reddy and with Chiranjeevi in Waltair Veerayya, emerging as the box office queen. Now, she is playing the female lead opposite Rajinikanth in director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s upcoming film Coolie, which is set to release on August 14.

As part of the film’s promotions, Shruti revealed an interesting personal preference that surprised everyone — her love for the color black. A quick scroll through her Instagram makes it evident: nearly 90% of her photos feature her in black outfits.

Speaking about this choice, Shruti said, “I love black because it makes you stand out in any crowd, no matter where you are. It suits my skin tone perfectly and gives me a unique charm. Many consider black an inauspicious color, but for me, it has become a sentiment. When I wear black, I feel a boost of confidence and double the energy compared to other colors. Plus, dark colors hide stains easily when you’re out, so it’s a practical choice too.”

She added that along with black, she enjoys wearing other dark shades as well. Fans often note that black outfits highlight Shruti’s beauty even more, making her presence in any gathering truly striking.
