Her solution was to dismantle the figure and perform rituals to cleanse the house.Shruti Haasan on sensing strange energies Appearing on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi’s YouTube series Double Date, Shruti opened up about the eerie feeling she sometimes gets from certain places.

“I have always had this ability to know if a place has weird energies. This is not all the time, but sometimes. My house in Chennai has a very neutral energy. But I strongly felt that my house in Mumbai had something suspicious going on.”Looking back on the episode, she said, “I had this life-size mannequin who I called Fiona.

It was just because I had this extra costume that I couldn’t fit in my cupboard, so I put it on her. And I named her Fiona. Every time my friends came, they would randomly just say hi to her.”Join conversation Shruti said, however, that Fiona eventually began shifting positions on her own, which left her rattled.

“I got rid of her. I dismantled her,” she said. Remembering how she reacted, she added, “I was like, who moved you?”.The actress said her first instinct was to seek spiritual protection. She claimed she played the Hanuman Chalisa, held salt in her hand, took the mannequin apart.

As for the aftermath, she added, “Now, the house has been quiet.”In the same conversation, Shruti opened up about her faith, saying she is deeply religious even though religion played little part in her upbringing. “I am the only religious person in my entire family,” she said.Shruti Haasan’s work front On the work front, Shruti Haasan was most recently seen in 'Peddi', in which she made a special appearance in the song 'Hellallallo'.
