Chennai, May 18 (TIWN) Actress Shruti Haasan believes being a public figure, she can easily be misunderstood. However, she hopes to continue to speak her mind with confidence irrespective of what people perceive of her.

"I think we live in a time where there is a certain amount of easy negativity or judgement. I've realised I want to share my truth and speak with ease no matter what. Those who want to take the good from it will, and those who twist things will always twist things," she told IANS.

The actress, known for her love of Goth, recently started the #McKenziesmakeupchallenge, in association with American singer and actress McKenzie Westmore. The topic of the challenge is Beautiful Gothic Make up. Shruti is judging the challenge, where she invites entries from all over the country to showcase their creative gothic looks.
