Shrutika Arjun open to returning for powerful, challenging roles.
Shrutika Arjun, known for her memorable stint in Bigg Boss 18 where she won audiences’ hearts with her charm, and as the winner of the hit South Indian cooking reality show Cooku With Comali, has also worked in major South films like Shree alongside Suriya and Vaathi with Dhanush. Recently, the actress opened up about South cinema’s global recognition, her cherished memories from film sets, and what could tempt her to return to acting.
Reflecting on the new wave of South Indian cinema and its international success, she shared, “It’s truly heartening to see South cinema getting the recognition it deserves on a global scale. I’ve been fortunate to share screen space with some of the finest talents in the industry, and watching this wave unfold makes me proud. While I’m not actively chasing a return to acting, if something genuinely powerful and challenging comes my way, I wouldn’t mind giving it a shot.”
Speaking about her early acting career and how the industry has evolved, Shrutika added, “That phase was filled with learning, excitement, and a deep sense of creative fulfillment. What I cherish the most are the people, the passion on sets, and the love from the audience. Today, there’s a visible shift in storytelling—more depth, more meaning, and a lot more space for individuality, especially for women, which is refreshing to see.”
When asked about what kind of story or character would make her say yes to a comeback, she revealed, “I’d love to play a character that has layers, something emotionally intense, raw, and real. It could be a woman with strength, vulnerability, and purpose. Stories that challenge me and leave an impact—those are the ones that would make me consider a return.”
Shrutika Arjun was last seen in Bigg Boss 18. The show was won by Karan Veer Mehra.
