Actor-singer Shruti Haasan took to social media to share a heartfelt message for her father, veteran actor and newly minted Rajya Sabha MP Kamal Haasan. Sharing a touching photograph of the two together following his oath-taking ceremony on July 25, 2025, Shruti expressed her admiration and pride: “Watching you take your oath in the Rajya Sabha with your signature voice echoing through the chambers with strength and gravitas was a moment forever etched in my mind.” Her emotional tribute framed the political event as a deeply personal and historic moment.
Kamal Haasan’s unopposed entry into the Rajya Sabha from Tamil Nadu marks a significant shift in his political trajectory. Backed by the DMK-led alliance, his Makkal Needhi Maiam party's earlier support during the 2024 elections has now evolved into a strategic partnership. His move to the Upper House comes after earlier plans to contest in the Lok Sabha elections, showcasing the actor-politician's adaptability and rising influence within the national political framework.
The image, warmly captioned and widely shared, humanizes what was otherwise a heavily analyzed political move. Shruti’s public support offered a rare window into the familial pride and emotion surrounding the event. In contrast to the political satire and skepticism seen across some sections of social media, her message served as a reminder of the personal significance such milestones carry beyond headlines and party strategies.
Kamal Haasan’s Rajya Sabha debut is not just a win for his party or political alliances—it also represents one of the few successful transitions from cinema to serious legislative participation. As he steps into a new phase of public life, bolstered by familial support and strategic alignment, his role in Parliament is being watched closely—by both critics and admirers alike.
