Shruti Haasan Revealed Why Kamal Haasan Learned Bengali Because of Aparna Sen
Kamal Hassan uniquely admired Aparna Sen.
Aparna Sen has performed in many award-winning films.
Deeply woven into her art, she evokes not only personal family stories but also echoes of culture at large.
She worked in Tamil cinema and got a chance to work with legendary Kamal Haasan.
The respect she earned from Kamal Haasan was not limited to her work alone.
Shruti Haasan Kamal Hassan’s daughter, said that he was in love with Aparna Sen.
She brought the hidden facts to light and disclosed the truth behind her father’s love for Bengali. She said that he did not learn Bengali because he was doing a Bengali film.
Kamal Haasan is known to have learned many languages effortlessly, including Bengali and French.
While her interaction with Sathyaraj, Sathyaraj credited her for knowing many languages similar to her father.
Shruti Hassan spoke with the hint of amusement, but his father learned Bengali to impress Aparna Sen and not for films.
Shruti mentioned that Kamal Haasan named the character of Rani Mukerji in his film ‘Hey Ram’ after Aparna Sen. Rani Mukerji played a Bengali woman in ‘Hey Ram’ and his romantic interest.
It was a movie that was produced and directed by Kamal Haasan in 2000. In it, Rani Mukerji played the role of Aparna Ram (often called Apu), who was the beloved wife of Saket Ram (Kamal Haasan).
This disclosure happened when Shruti Hassan and Sathyaraj were sharing their experiences about knowing many languages.
