Suchitra Krishnamoorthi on her late sister Sujata Kumar: I will miss her forever

Adding to it, she recalled, “Over the years, I took her goodness for granted but like she would tell me, “Be bindaas,” I was just that. I will miss her quiet wisdom as much as her raucous laughter.”

Sujata, last seen as Sridevi’s elder sister in English Vinglish, was diagnosed with cancer in August 2006. In her TEDx Talk on the topic ‘How to filter emotional pollutants from your life’, the 53-year-old had mentioned how being diagnosed with cancer was “nature’s slap across her face”.

Remembering her sister, Suchitra said, “She (Sujata) was a trained hypnotherapist and an alternate healer as well. ‘All people need is love and acceptance. Human beings don’t give each other enough of that,’ she would often rue. All her family and close friends called her Suzie. For me, she was my Suzie Puzie. I will miss her forever.”
