\"Music\u201cI don\u2019t need a day to celebrate music. On one level, it\u2019s my work. But, on another, it\u2019s my best friend. I always go back to it on a good or a bad day,” says Shruti Haasan. For Shruti Haasan<\/a>, music is far more than a profession. It is a companion and a creative refuge. So, unlike many who mark World Music Day on their calendars, the actress-musician says she doesn\u2019t feel the need for a dedicated day to celebrate it. \u201cExcept for my birthday, I haven\u2019t really bothered with days,\u201d she quips. Excerpts:\u2018MUSIC IS WORK, BUT ALSO MY BEST FRIEND\u2019\u201cI don\u2019t need a day to celebrate music. On one level, it\u2019s my work. But, on another, it\u2019s my best friend. I always go back to it on a good or a bad day. It\u2019s solitary and it\u2019s my creative space. Music is the truest form of love I\u2019ve ever experienced. Writing and music are the only companions I want in my solitude,\u201d she explains.\u2018MY MUSIC IS THE GO-TO SAFE SPACE FOR ME TO BE MYSELF\u2019For Shruti<\/a>, holding on to her individuality as a musician has never been a struggle. \u201cMy music is the go-to safe space for me to be myself. It\u2019s never needed me to take an effort to hold on to my individuality.\u201d That, she says, is precisely what sets music apart from acting. \u201cThat\u2019s why when people ask me to choose between the two, I really can\u2019t; they\u2019re completely different. In acting, there\u2019s a sense of responsibility and compassion towards the character you\u2019re playing. A different part of my brain and emotional intelligence is at work. But in music, it\u2019s not a duty to a character or another person, but loyalty to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

A song, for me, is personal and autobiographical. I want to take the time to honour it. I don’t feel the pressure of reels or timelines when it comes to my independent music. It’s an emotional process<\/p>\n

\u2018A SONG, FOR ME, IS PERSONAL AND AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL\u2019Explaining why she takes her time releasing independent music, Shruti shares, \u201cThat\u2019s one complaint I get from everyone. A song, for me, is personal and autobiographical. I want to take the time to honour it. I don\u2019t feel the pressure of reels or timelines when it comes to my independent music. It\u2019s an emotional process.\u201dShruti also embraces putting herself out there through her music. \u201cI\u2019m a transparent person. So, I write about myself, and I want people to relate to that,\u201d she says and credits her musical influences for teaching her that lesson. \u201cWhether you\u2019re listening to an Ilaiyaraaja or Bob Dylan song, something about their music makes you feel like they understand exactly how you feel.\u201d\u2018I\u2019M GOING ON TOUR WITH A LOVELY MUMBAI-BASED BAND\u2019Shruti is now gearing up to explore the solo concert space. \u201cI just need to finish my shooting dates, and then, I\u2019m going to get on tour with a lovely band based out of Mumbai. The setlist will feature a mix of my songs and my father\u2019s songs reimagined. It\u2019s going to be a nice, long show,\u201d she assures.Performing live, Shruti says, gives her a great sense of joy. \u201cI become a different person. I don\u2019t know where Shruti disappears to and somebody else takes over. I love that version of myself because I\u2019m completely free. It\u2019s an amazing dichotomy between being fully surrendered and connected to my audience while also being in tune with myself,\u201d she says.\u2018I\u2019M ABLE TO HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS\u2019Ask her if she was ever told her music was too unconventional for the mainstream, and Shruti admits, \u201cSo many times. There was a period, especially around 2012, when people would tell me, \u2018No, don\u2019t do it. People will get confused about whether to see you as an actor or a singer\u2019. Now, times have changed, and I\u2019m so thankful for that.\u201dShe continues, \u201cApart from my independent music, I\u2019ve been doing my films, while also having a Vinveli Nayaga (her song in Thug Life ) or a Pavazha Malli (the Tamil indie song in which she featured with Sai Abhyankkar). I\u2019m able to have the best of both worlds.\u201d\u2018Pavazha Malli was completely outside the genre I usually do\u2019Shruti believes cinema has changed the way she writes songs and poetry. \u201cBeing an actress has contributed to my songwriting a lot. After exploring characters and stories, my songwriting became much more visual,\u201d she says. Elaborating on her priorities at the moment, Shruti shares, \u201cI want to collaborate with other musicians and step out of my comfort zone. That\u2019s why doing Pavazha Malli was so much fun. It\u2019s completely outside the genre I usually write in or the kind of vocal rendition I do.\u201d Interestingly, she had played the character of Pavazha Malli in Vijay\u2019s Puli (2015). \u201cIt was purely a coincidence. I always say the universe is the greatest screenplay writer,\u201d she signs off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI don\u2019t need a day to celebrate music.
