Mumbai, April 9 (NationPress) Actress-singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has shared her reflections on working with Shah Rukh Khan during their memorable project “Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.”
When questioned about SRK's off-screen personality and any behind-the-scenes anecdotes, Suchitra confessed that discussing him now feels slightly uncomfortable. She also noted that, after all these years, she's no longer in contact with the superstar, making it even more unusual to revisit those memories.
Suchitra expressed to IANS, “I’ve talked about him numerous times, so it now feels a bit uncomfortable to discuss him, especially since the film was released so long ago. To be honest, I’m not connected with him these days, which makes it feel odd. However, I believe he is a man of great intelligence, and his accomplishments are remarkable. You can genuinely appreciate the depth of his intellect and strength. I hold a deep admiration for that.”
Moreover, Suchitra discussed the motivation behind starting her podcast. She shared that the thought had been in her mind for a while, but it took time to carve out the right path. “I’ve wanted to start a podcast for some time but struggled with selecting a theme. I kept contemplating whether I should pursue this. I can’t create trending reels or viral jokes, so I resolved to delve into topics I have knowledge of, authority over, and, most importantly, that I’m truly passionate about. I recognized that I was choosing a niche subject, but I aimed to produce content I believe adds value. The themes I cover are diverse and extensive. I’m aware it’s a gradual process, but I hope those interested in infotainment—facts, knowledge, and insights—will tune into my show, The Music Stories on The Suchitra Krishnamurthy Show channel.”
The singer also opened up about her daughter Kaveri embarking on her journey in the industry. When asked how she felt about her daughter’s foray into the entertainment field, Suchitra reflected on her own experiences. “When I started, I faced no pressure. Events unfolded sequentially, and I continued moving forward. I’m eternally grateful—and perhaps a bit astonished—at the success I’ve achieved, especially since I spent nearly two decades away from the spotlight. People still recall my contributions, and I’m thankful for that.”
Suchitra added, “However, I do feel some pressure regarding Kaveri—not for success, but because I desire her happiness. I want her to give it her best and have the necessary support. When I began, I had no mentors or industry connections—I carved my path through auditions and hard work. Her journey will be different, but it will also be demanding. I just want to be there for her in every possible manner.”
