How Suchitra Krishnamoorthi’s divorce impacted her daughter
Suchitra recalled how her divorce with Shekhar Kapur with Kaveri was difficult for Kaveri. She said that she shouldn’t have been “so emotionally volatile”. “It was very hard for Kaveri. She was terribly affected. If I was more regulated and in control of my own emotions and cleverer rather than being so emotionally volatile, I would’ve never subjected her to that. She didn’t deserve it. No child deserves that kind of negative exposure. Every child loves their parents equally. For her to even see that rift in the press and hear things through her friends is very unfair,” Suchitra said.
Suchitra recalls traumatic period
She also spoke about how she was bothered during the court hearings. Suchitra said, “I used to be in the court and then suddenly, I would see the paparazzi trying to take a picture and then I would get calls as to what’s going on. I would just tell that it’s none of their business and I would only talk about it when I want to. There are things that you can’t avoid unless you’re as regulated and calm as the Buddha so that nothing external can disturb you. In that sense, I’ve failed a lot. I’m too volatile. I don’t know if that’s a flaw but that’s just who I am.”
