Known for her goth looks and her love for the black and grey hues, Shruti said that this time of the year, she likes to soak into the festivities with a sprinkle of colour on her. ''I like to change up colour out of my usual black and grey during Diwali because it is festive but you'll never see me go too crazy with colour if it's my personal choice,' said the 38-year-old actress.

Shruti has girly moments with just a sparkler and is not a 'big fan' of crackers. ''I'm not a big fan of noisy polluting crackers I'm usually still the stand in the corner with one sparkler and be done girl,' said Shruti, who will next be seen in the film 'Coolie' starring Rajinikkanth.
