Suchitra Krishnamoorthi is a versatile actress, singer, and painter. She made her acting debut in the 1987 film Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa and has since starred in over 50 films. Besides her acting and singing career, Suchitra has also made headlines for her failed marriage with filmmaker Shekhar Kapur. Recently, while speaking of their separation, Suchitra stated that her and Shekhar’s divorce left their daughter Kaveri with Childhood trauma.
In a conversation with Bollywood Thikana, Suchitra asserted that whatever is reported about them is an ‘outsider’s perspective’. She said, “We are still parenting our child together. We are parents to a daughter and that relationship will always be there. I even tell him that he is a very good and committed father. My daughter is closer to him than she is to me.”
The Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa star continued, “She is definitely very affected by what happened between me and Shekhar.” On being asked if Kaveri suffers from childhood trauma, Suchita agreed, “Yes, for sure.”
Explaining further, Suchitra added, “Every parent does the best they can. Every child has trauma, especially children in broken homes of public figures. Imagine that child being told by others, ‘Maine ye suna, maine ye padhaa, kya aisa hai (I read this. I heard that. Is that true?)’ and children aren’t equipped to deal with this. They are very sensitive. It’s a very delicate… They are trying to balance their affection between their parents, so it’s a very tricky situation for them.”
As the conversation progressed, the Odd Couple actress shared her thoughts on single parenting and said, “Single parenting is very tough. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and imagine, I was doing it alone. It takes up a lot of your time and energy. My head was filled with worry and concern all the time.”
Coming to the professional front, the 47-year-old actress-singer was last seen in Amazon Prime Video’s Guilty Minds, which was released in 2022. She recently released her latest single, ‘Shararat.’
