Aksharaa Haasan on family legacy and freedom

Aksharaa Haasan, daughter of acclaimed actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika, has spoken about the unique balance her parents struck in her upbringing.

She revealed that her parents fostered an environment where both she and her sister, Shruti Haasan, were encouraged to develop their individual identities. This was coupled with a strong reminder to uphold and protect the family's significant cinematic legacy.

Haasan elaborated that her parents helped them understand the duality of their position, providing the space to be themselves at home while acknowledging the different realities of the world outside.

She emphasized that this guidance allowed them to navigate their careers with caution, earning their own merit while respecting the hard work their parents invested.

Furthermore, Aksharaa Haasan shared her philosophy on personal challenges, stating that she believes handling success is considerably more difficult than coping with failure.

She considers this advice, learned early in her career, to be crucial, as mastering success requires a resilience that not everyone possesses, unlike the more common ability to overcome setbacks.
