"There is no reason for me to be strict with them. I am always willing to guide them when they need me," she said.
Sarika's elder daugter Shruti started her career as a child artist. She sang in films and appeared in a guest role in her father Kamal Haasan's "Hey Ram" before making her adult acting debut in Bollywood in 2009 with "Luck". She has acted in several Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films.
