On collaborating with him again, Saif said, “Reuniting with Sid Anand has always felt like coming home.”

Not a joke

Taking to social media, she hinted that the video is fake and AI-generated. Sharing a video explaining AI-generated content, Shruthi expressed her distress, saying, “For you guys, spreading these contents on me it’s just a joke... But for me and my close ones, this is a very hard situation. Especially for me, it’s a very difficult time.” The actor is recognised for her role in Siragadikka Aasai, a popular Tamil serial aired on Star Vijay.
