I first saw Suchitra Krishnamoorthi in a film called Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. She was young, vivacious and there was no reason her career shouldn’t have taken off but it didn’t. She was unaffected and quite frankly didn’t particularly try hard to fit into the rat race. She was a successful model, came from an educated family and was not fiercely ambitious.
Over the decades, she fell in love with filmmaker Shekhar Kapoor, got married and had a baby, Kaaveri, today a grown-up girl and an accomplished singer. The wonderful thing is that Suchitra truly discovered herself after her divorce. She is not just a professional actor dabbling in movies and theatre but a trained singer with many albums to her credit. She is a poet and a published author, a painter. On her 48th birthday I wish her the best in all she does.
