Shruti Says Kamal Haasan Learned Bengali In Love For Aparna Sen

Legendary actor Kamal Haasan is proficient in not only French, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. He also knows Bengali very well. According to Shruti Hasan.

Her father learnt Bengali due to a deep fascination for Aparna Sen.

Aparna Sen's Influence On Kamal For Learning Bengali

In 1977, Kamal Haasan acted in a Bengali film called 'Kabita'. Many people think that he learned Bengali for that film. However, Shruti Haasan recently stated in an interview that, in fact, her father learned Bengali out of deep respect and love for Aparna Sen. Aparna Sen's personality, acting style, and intelligence influenced Kamal Haasan so much that he named Rani Mukherjee's character 'Aparna Ram' in the 2000 film 'Hey Ram'. It was a kind of honor, an expression of his love and respect for Aparna Sen.

Even The Huge Age Gap Could Not Stop Kamal From Loving Aparna

Although this 'secret love' of Kamal Haasan is new to everyone, it is a wonderful chapter in his personal life. Aparna Sen is almost 9 years older than Kamal Haasan; this age gap has never been a hindrance to the actor's fascination. His respect and love for Aparna Sen inspired him to learn Bengali, a truly wonderful story.

More Memories of Shruti Haasan

Shruti Haasan once said in a candid chat with Madan Gobi, “Since childhood, everyone knew me as Kamal Haasan’s daughter. But then I was finding my own identity. I felt so much mental pressure that if someone asked my name, I would say that my father is Dr. Ramachandran, who is our female dentist. And my name? Pooja Ramachandran!” But now Shruti has come out of this thought and proudly says, 'I am happy to be his daughter.'
