Says a source close to Shruti, "Shruti has always believed in doing things that matter and help make a difference to not just yourself but to the lives of others too. And on the occasion of her birthday, she wants to share this very belief with her fans for which she will run a special online birthday exercise with her fans. She's asked fans to send her information and a picture of their act of kindness - something nice they did for someone else lately via social media. From those entries, she will pick the best five and send them personalized autographed merchandize with a special message from her."
Speaking about this, birthday gal Shruti says, "I'm looking forward to all the lovely fans online have planned for me. I strongly believe that the greatest gift is the gift of giving - being there for someone who needs you. Hence this year for my birthday, I'm asking my fans to gift me a good birthday by being kind to someone who really needs it. The fans and audience are the reason why you are who you are, so why not celebrate them and their deeds on my birthday."
