Find out what inspires her indie aesthetic and why she thinks Mumbai boys are silly in her candid
interview. The 29-year-old debuted as a leading lady in 2009 , at a time when, she says, "she was not yet ready to be a film star" Just 22 then, Shruti was fresh off the boat from Los Angeles, where she studied at the Musicians Institute in California for three years.

“Maybe it was a divine plan: the maximum pressure came at a time when I didn’t even know it existed,” she says.

As Shruti takes centre stage, catch her in action with a sneak peak into our exclusive behind the scene video here (link) with ace photographer Errikos Andreou.  Talking about the shoot, stylist Daniel Franklin says, “I wanted the cover to be bright, cheerful and inviting. Shruti’s never seen in a casual light, so I really wanted to capture her young, carefree spirit. I decided to go with a psychedelic printed tank top from Indian by Manish Arora and a neon leather skirt by Alia Bhatt for Jabong. The neoprene bomber jacket by River Island gives the look an added edge.”
