Actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi recently opened up about her former husband, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, cheating on her during their marriage. Though their relationship went sour, the two continue to co-parent their daughter, Kaveri Kapur. Suchitra called Shekhar a great father, but confessed that the animosity between them affected Kaveri deeply.
While speaking to Bollywood Thikana, Suchitra shared that whatever is reported about them is an ‘outsider’s perspective’, but she and Shekhar will always be parents to Kaveri, and that relationship will never end. “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 said.
“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,” Suchitra said, while explaining how Kaveri has been affected by the divorce.
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi admitted that she had a difficult time while raising Kaveri as a single parent. She 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.”
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi was last seen in 2022’s Amazon Prime Video show Guilty Minds.
