Shruti Haasan was admitted to a hospital in Hyderabad Sunday night after she complained of acute stomach pain. She later went through an appendicitis surgery.

Shruti brought in the New Year with her dad, Kamal Haasan, in Chennai. “The next day, she flew to Hyderabad and shot from 6 am till evening. At 8 pm she felt uneasy during a press conference and was rushed to the hospital where she was told to undergo an appendectomy at the earliest.”

Shruti called up her father, asking if she should fly back to Chennai or go to Mumbai but Kamal suggested she stays put and gets the appendicitis operated in Hyderabad itself. When contacted, her spokesperson from down south informed that her hairdresser and he were with her when the pain hit at first.

“She is a brave girl and has been advised to not make any sudden movement for the next eight to 10 days. Kamal sir is calling every hour and her friends from the South fraternity are keeping her company. Tomorrow the doctor will decide when she will get discharged. In a week’s time she will get back at work.”
