Shruti Haasan Calls Justin Bieber’s Behavior a “Planetary Problem” — And She Might Be Right

In a recent interview on The Ranveer Show, actress and singer Shruti Haasan made headlines with a bold yet thoughtful observation about global pop icon Justin Bieber. When asked about Bieber’s erratic public behavior and emotional outbursts, Shruti didn’t just dismiss it as celebrity drama. Instead, she described it as a “planetary problem” — hinting at a much larger, global mental health crisis affecting people across the world.

Bieber has been in the spotlight lately for his raw Instagram posts about trauma, anger, and feeling like a “fraud.” From viral videos of him lashing out at paparazzi to emotional confessions online, the world is watching a young star clearly grappling with inner turmoil. And while many are quick to criticize or diagnose, Shruti chose compassion and context.

“I don’t like his music — it’s not my kind of pop,” she admitted, but quickly added, “What’s happening with him is not just a Justin Bieber issue. It’s a sign of the times. A planetary problem.”

Her words echo what many psychologists and cultural commentators have been saying: the modern world—with its nonstop pressure, curated online lives, and loss of genuine connection—is pushing people to emotional limits. Bieber, as someone constantly under the microscope, simply happens to live it out publicly.

Shruti, who has been open about her own mental health battles, emphasized the need for more empathy, less judgment, and ongoing conversation. “We all need to talk more. There’s no shame in it,” she has previously said in interviews.

In a world obsessed with celebrity slip-ups and viral breakdowns, Shruti’s take is refreshingly grounded. Instead of gossiping about Bieber’s behavior, she’s using the moment to highlight the emotional weight many silently carry — reminding us that what we’re witnessing isn’t a meltdown, but a mirror.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Mental health is not a trending topic — it’s a global priority.
