Kamal Haasan has ruled the entertainment industry for over five decades now, both on and off the silver screen. His ability to immerse himself fully into characters, coupled with his nuanced portrayal, has earned him critical acclaim and a devoted fan base. Moreover, Haasan’s fearless stance on social and political issues further elevates his status, earning him respect as a voice of reason and change.
Recently, he teamed up with his rockstar daughter, Shruti Haasan, dropping some serious wisdom bombs in a music video titled ‘Inimel’ and a heart-to-heart chat called ‘Legacy of Love,’ where they spilled the tea on love, life, and everything in between.
Unveiling Kamal Haasan’s Wish List
In an unfiltered conversation with his daughter, Kamal Haasan got real about his materialistic desires and whether he’s got a wishlist tucked away. When Shruti popped the question about his unfulfilled wishes, Kamal dropped this truth bomb: “My intention is not to list all of them. Listing them makes you go, ‘I want this, that, and this.’ That’s when I remind myself, at Eldams Road (where his old family home is situated), my father gave me a small room that could perhaps fit two pianos. It was on the top floor… so, the heat! The restroom was three floors down. My father’s attitude was, ‘You know a lot so stay here. When you think you can’t go on like this, tell me and I will buy you a cow that you can rear’.”

Shah Rukh Khan and the Plane Saga
Kamal Haasan spills the beans about the King of Bollywood himself, Shah Rukh Khan, and his dreams of owning a private jet. Now, that’s some serious baller talk! Kamal couldn’t help but give props to SRK, because, a man with dreams is a man with ambition.
He shared, “I used to lie down and think, all I want is ?10,000 per month. I would make a list of things I would want to do with that money. I don’t even remember the things on that list. But those wants helped me sleep. I wanted to buy a scooter, then I wanted to buy a car. Now, when I have the wealth to buy all of those things, ‘I wonder what do I want? A plane?’ I recently watched an interview of Shah Rukh (Khan). He said he wants to buy a plane. I felt happy seeing him because he still has a list. Personally, I feel, I shouldn’t have any list. I am not trying to become ascetic. Where is the end to it? Okay, if I want a plane, I wonder, how much will I use it? If I buy a big house like this in Kodaikanal, how much time will I spend there? Maximum one month. Then I will run back here. Why should I then buy a bungalow there?”
