Career

[edit | edit source]

Suchitra started her career with the TV series Chunauti while still in school in the year 1987–1988.[10] She acted in a production of Peanuts: The Musical, a musical based on the famous comic strip Peanuts.[11] She played the character Lucy.[12] She appeared in television commercials endorsing products such as Palmolive soap, Clearasil, Sunrise Coffee, Limca and Colgate toothpaste.[citation needed] In 1994, she made her breakthrough in films with Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, a commercial and critically acclaimed hit, opposite Shahrukh Khan. She also starred in Kilukkampetti opposite Malayalam star Jayaram.[citation needed]

She pursued a music career in the mid- to late 1990s, releasing the pop albums Dole Dole,[13] Dum Tara, Aha and Zindagi.[14] She returned after 10 years in the film My Wife's Murder (2005), opposite Anil Kapoor.[15] The year 2010 saw the release of Rann, a film about the Indian media, directed by Ram Gopal Varma.[16] Suchitra played the role of a media executive named Nalini Kashyap.[15] In 2022, Suchitra played the role of Nivedita in the critically acclaimed movie on Netflix, Odd Couple, opposite Divyendu Sharma.

Suchitra is a writer whose views were first noticed via her blogs.[citation needed] Her many blogs – first on www.intentblog.com, a site where she was invited to share her views by Deepak Chopra, "art in a body part" and "give me another break", and subsequently on her own site – have put Suchitra in many controversies.[citation needed] Suchitra's novel The Summer of Cool was released by Penguin India in January 2009 and met with huge success. It is her first in four called the Swapnalok Society series.[17] The second book in the series is titled The Good News Reporter, and The Ghost on the Ledge, the third part of the series, was released in 2016.[citation needed]

Drama Queen, a memoir by Suchitra released in November 2013, received positive reviews.[18][19] The first print of the book sold out within a week of its release.[20]

Drama Queen, a musical written by Suchitra and adapted from her book of the same title, opened at NCPA Mumbai in October 2016.[21] Drama Queen is still currently being staged all across India.

Odd Couple, a feature film starring Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, Vijay Raaz and Divyendu Sharma, was released on Amazon India in 2022. It trended on the Top 10 on Amazon India for several months.
