MUMBAI: Actress Shruti Haasan is a well-known actress from the South who is loved by everyone for her acting and her looks. Her upcoming movie ‘Waltair Veerayya’ has been all the buzz as it was set to release today. Recently, the film's pre-launch event was held, and the actress did not attend it, and rumours have been doing the rounds that claimed that she had ‘mental problems’. She has since denied the claims.

Shruti took to her Twitter handle and revealed that she had a viral fever, which is why she had skipped the event. Sharing screenshots of various media reports that made the absurd claims, that said that Shruti Haasan has ‘mental problems’ and is undergoing treatment, she responded saying, “Ok so here's the thing, misinformation like this and the over dramatization or flippant handling of such subjects is what makes people afraid to talk about mental health…Guess what? It doesn't work.”

She further added, “I will always be a mental health advocate; I will always promote taking care of myself in all aspects. Oh and…I had a viral fever, so nice try. Get over yourselves, and while you are at it, please talk to a therapist. No really, please do.”
