# Shruti Haasan gives up Persian kitten due to severe allergy 2026-08-10T11:36:08+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Actor and singer Shruti Haasan has revealed on Substack that she rehomed her Persian kitten Aslan after developing a severe allergic reaction. She adopted Aslan about three months ago, but within two days she broke out in rashes and boils on her face. A dermatologist told her the kitten's fur and saliva were the likely cause. She tried trimming his hair, using air purifiers, wiping him down, and changing his food, but nothing worked. The allergies began affecting her work, skin, and mental well-being. After an especially bad reaction on returning to Mumbai, she contacted the foster mother and gave Aslan up. Times Now reports that severe pet allergies can trigger asthma or, rarely, anaphylaxis and advises seeing an allergist. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: allergic reaction, cat allergy, celebrity health, pet allergies, respiratory health, Shruti Haasan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/shruti-haasan-gives-up-pet-cat-after-severe-allergic-reaction/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
