'So proud of my Appa': Shruti Haasan on Kamal Haasan as his party MNM loses in first Tamil Nadu assembly poll

Kamal Haasan's party, Makkal Needhi Maiam, which roughly translates into People’s Justice Forum, lost his maiden poll to BJP’s national women’s wing leader, Vanathi Srinivasan by 1,728 votes. The actor-filmmaker had his momentum at the beginning of the poll in his constituency, Coimbatore South, but the opponent won by a slim number of votes.

The actor-daughter Shruti Haasan to celebrate and uplift her superstar father’s spirit took it to Instagram and shared a post. The post was to boost up the party and its cause, which beliefs are neither right nor left but acts on causes with a ‘centre’ perspective. 

The photo shared by the actress was an ultimate father-daughter moment photo with Shruti smiling widely with no sophisticated celebrity pose. The post was captioned, “Always so proud of my Appa. #Fighter #Terminator.”

In April, Kamal Haasan with his daughters Shruti and Akshara Haasan were at the polling booth to cast their vote for the Tamil Nadu election. Shruti had then shared a photo from that day with the caption, "Time to vote." She later told NDTV, "I'm just accompanying him (Mr Haasan). I have just come to support him as a daughter. I hope that everything is done in the right way," 

The cinema icon on acting grounds is lined up with interesting projects; he will be seen with Malayalam cinema sensation Fahadh Faasil in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram and his sequel to 1996’s film Indian titled Indian 2 directed by S.Shankar.
