Suchitra Krishnamoorthi is popular since the 90s and despite the fact that she’s done many movies, she’s still remembered largely for her role as ‘Anna’ in ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa‘ opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Hence, it’s quite natural that Suchitra gets asked about SRK, now that he’s become such a superstar. However, in a recent interview, the actress admitted that she’s tired of being asked about him.
Suchitra expressed weariness over recurring questions about Khan’s superstar trajectory, stating in an interview with ‘Mid-day’, “It’s tiring, frankly. But unavoidable.”
She also spoke about her collaboration with Randhir Ranjan Roy in ‘Ek Haan’, showcased at Experimental Theatre, NCPA, shared her journey from initial skepticism to profound satisfaction with the project. She initially refused the script, being in Urdu. Still, Randhir Ranjan Roy’s persistence and her eventual involvement led to a deeper appreciation of literature, particularly the pre and post-partition era of India. Suchitra emphasized the need for increased audience engagement and media awareness to improve its economic viability.
Regarding the significance of social media, she acknowledged its role in creating stars and livelihoods for many but admits to struggling with her Instagram presence, describing it as lackluster.
She also criticised the paparazzi culture in her interview and highlighted the illogical nature of staged airport appearances by actors, finding it exaggerated and unnecessary.
Maintaining a selective approach to her projects despite early success, Suchitra values artistic fulfillment over fame, stating, “I enjoy my work, but fame is intrusive. I wish for anonymity outside the workplace, but that’s impossible in the performing arts.”
Suchitra was last seen in the TV series ‘Braveheart’.
