Actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi reflects on her daughter’s acting debut
Actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi expressed her immense pride in daughter Kaveri’s talent and resilience against social media scrutiny.
In a career that spanned more than three decades, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has tried her hand at other things too, besides acting- music, and more recently, hosting her own podcast show on YouTube, The Suchitra Krishnamoorthi Show.
Interestingly, her daughter Kaveri also seems to be following in her footsteps. Subsequent to pursuing a career in music, Kaveri made her acting debut this year with Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story.
Suchitra also revealed that her daughter was ‘terribly affected’ amidst divorce with Shekhar Kapur: she has failed a lot
About Kaveri’s decision she goes on to say that she is happy with her daughter’s choice. She is at such an early stage of her career and got an offer while studying in Boston.
As an artist, you should take the best opportunities that come your way. Her film was always meant to be direct to OTT, so there was no confusion on that part. It’s the greatest platform for actors, filmmakers. You do your job here, whereas in theatres, there are big risks involved. She is very happy she made her debut the way she did.
The 49-year-old was impressed with Kaveri’s performance in her debut film, directed by Kunal Kohli and
co-featuring Vardhan Puri. She is surprised and delighted because she had never shown any interest in acting before. She took to it like fish in water and Suchitra is confident she is only going to get better.
Suchitra began her entertainment career at the age of 12, while Kaveri entered the industry in her twenties. She agrees that there’s a contrast in the way today’s newcomers are treated, facing far greater scrutiny, especially with social media in the mix. “The way social media treats newcomers is cruel and unnecessary.
A lot of it just stems from jealousy and negativity. It’s like a free for all. Every kid, wherever they are from, are going and commenting on them. Atleast they made an effort. One doesn’t have to respond to all that nonsense.
How did Kaveri cope? Suchitra adds, She finds all this trolling amusing, and says ‘mumma don’t people have something better to do?’ She’s very mature, an old soul with a baby face and heart.”
