She later acted in National award winning director Mansore's ''Nathicharami'' opposite [[Sanchari Vijay]] for which she gained great critical acclaim. The film publication ''Karthik Kermanu'' wrote "There isn’t a better actor than Sruthi to bring grace and seriousness to a character that throws light on the sexual needs of single women in urban middle-class societies. Whenever her face swims in the drudgery of everydayness, you feel her!”<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/nathicharami-movie-review-sruthi-hariharan-mansore/|title=Nathicharami Movie Review: What Single Women Want|last=Keramalu|first=Karthik|date=2018-12-28|website=Film Companion|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-12}}</ref> Keyur Seta of ''Cinestaan'' said "Hers is a simple subtle and a FLAWLESS Performance!"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cinestaan.com/reviews/nathicharami-38775|title=Nathicharami review: Explores a young widow's sexuality in a simple yet bold manner|last=Seta|first=Keyur|website=Cinestaan.com|access-date=2019-02-12}}</ref>Currently she is filming ''Aadya'' starring [[Chiranjeevi Sarja]] and directed by Chaitanya KN.

==Allegations==

In October 2018, Hariharan accused [[Arjun Sarja]] of sexual misconduct on the set of the 2016 film ''[[Nibunan|Vismaya]]'' and filed a sexual harassment case with the police against him.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment/south-gossip/article/kannada-film-actress-sruthi-hariharan-files-sexual-harassment-case-with-the-police-against-actor-arjun-sarja/305671|title=Kannada film actress Sruthi Hariharan files sexual harassment case with the police against actor Arjun Sarja|website=Timesnownews.com|access-date=2019-08-03}}</ref>

Arjun Sarja filed a defamation case of Rs 5 crore against her for accusing him of sexual misconduct. In response to her allegations, Arjun responded, "I am saddened by the allegations and I don't know how I can correct this. I will definitely file a case. I will speak about improving the shots and dialogues but I don't have the cheap mentality of using this profession to touch women inappropriately."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/regional-movies/arjun-sarja-slaps-sruthi-hariharan-with-a-5-crore-defamation-suit/story-u6g3Uyr1lZFNQl6yqbHH6N.html|title=Arjun Sarja files Rs 5 cr defamation suit against Sruthi Hariharan|website=Hindustantimes.com|access-date=2019-08-03}}</ref>
