Shrutika is an Indian film actress who appeared in Tamil and Malayalam language films.

Career

Aged just 13, Shrutika received offers for films but her protective parents thought that she was too immature to be a heroine. At 16, she was soon spotted and signed up to appear alongside Suriya in the 2002 action film Shree and a critic noted that "she looks cute from certain angles — but has little to do performance wise" labelling that the actors make a "nice screen pair". The film however performed poorly at the box office. Her next film was Kavithalayaa Productions's Album directed by Vasanthabalan in which she was paired with Aryan Rajesh, though the film did only average business. She also featured in the Malayalam film Swapnam Kondu Thulabharam, in which she was paired with Suresh Gopi and her role as Ammu has won rave reviews. Shrutika also went on to appear in a supporting role alongside Jiiva and Sridevi Vijaykumar in Thithikudhe (Tamil remake of 2001 Telugu film Manasantha Nuvve) as well as playing a role in the Kamal Haasan production Nala Damayanthi opposite Madhavan. She was briefly attached to Kamal Haasan's Virumaandi (2004) but eventually did not feature.

After failing to break into films, she returned to education by signing up for a Visual Communications degree at SRM College, Chennai. In 2020, Shrutika gave several interviews on social media channels.

Personal life

The actress is the granddaughter of the actor, Thengai Srinivasan. Her cousin Yogi, also appeared in a couple of films, while her brother Adithya Shivpink is an actor. She is married to Arjun, and has one son, Aarav.
