Shekhar Kapur and Suchitra Krishnamoorthis daughter, Kaveri, says she has nothing to do with the property dispute case her mother filed against him

6 Mar 2020

Shekhar Kapur and Suchitra Krishnamoorthi got married in 1997 but took divorce in 2006. The couple bears a daughter, Kaveri, who is being questioned regarding the property dispute case that her mother filed against her father. Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has recently filed a property dispute case against Shekhar Kapur over a property that apparently belongs to Kaveri. The property is currently occupied by Kabir Bedi and Parveen on rent and she had to take the legal step when Kabir refused to move to vacate the property. Kaveri was questioned about the same and her name was used out of context is another story. However, unable to keep calm regarding this issue, she finally spoke up and said that she has always kept mum when it came to the issues between her parents. She has clarified that she has a strong and loving relationship with her father and was upset that her name was being used in such a manner. She further elaborated on how she is in no way associated with this case or any case between her parents. Now that Kaveri has made her stand clear, a comment from Shekhar and Suchitra is still awaited.

27 Jul 2019

The celebrities receive messages from the trolls on social media on a daily basis and most of the times, they choose to ignore them. While the fans cant stop praising their celebrities on their latest tweet or Instagram post, there are some who criticize them for no reason in particular. While this bullying behavior is appalling, there are some who send obscene messages on Facebook. Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi is the latest victim to receive such vulgar messages on Facebook.

This message was sent to me on @facebook ! While the situation is ironical since the person messaging her works in National Crime Prevention Council, according to his bio, the social media handle of Mumbai Police ensured her that this matter will be looked in to.

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi & Swara Bhaskar engage in a Twitter war over Deepika Padukones Padmaavat

29 Jan 2018

Sanjay Leela Bhansali s labour of love, Padmaavat , has hit the screens after much turbulence over its release by the right wing Rajput outfits. Needless to say, the entire industry stood up and applauded the directors effort in making this magnum opus, showering extra praise for the leads: Deepika Padukone Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.While the majority of industry-wallahs loved the film, Veerey Di Wedding actor Swara Bhasker sharply criticised Bhansali for the way he treated the sensitive topic of jauhar/sati in the film. Bhaskars argument was that it is regressive on the part of the otherwise talented filmmaker to have glorified this evil practice and this made her feel like a mere vagina. Swara Bhaskers opinion piece caused quite a furore in Bollywood. Former Bollywood star Suchitra Krishnamoorthy slammed Swara for her piece and commented that she had played a courtesan in Anarkali Ki Aarah and hence it is hypocritical to talk about feminism and women empowerment, given this context. She wrote, Funny that an actress who can play an erotic dancer/ prostitute with such elan should feel like a vagina after watching a story of a pious queen. What standards are these tch tch. Swara Bhasker promptly responded to this flak with an equally snarky response. She tweeted, Funny that people cannot get over the fact that a woman said Vagina! Funny that in a 2440 word article making fairly comprehensible arguments they only remember the word Vagina!!! So Vagina vagina vagina vagina vagina vaginavagina vagina VAGINA!!!!! The director himself, who has worked with Swara in Guzaarish, is yet to respond. Padmaavat released on January 25 and has been running in packed houses soon. According to the box office reports, the historical drama will soon cross Rs 100 crores. The leads are busy celebrating the success of the film.

Suchitra Krishnamoorthy files complaint with the police against social media abusers

16 Sep 2017

Just a day ago we had reported about how Suchitra Krishnamoorthy spoke about a 5 am Azaan [Islamic call for prayer] waking up an entire neighbourhood. The former actress and mother of a teenage daughter slammed the use of loudspeakers at the wee hours of dawn, thereby causing disturbance to the residential areas around on social media. But the next day, she was woken up to trolls and sexually explicit abuses on her social media account, followed by which the actress decided to take legal action. Not the one to let go off such an incident easily, Suchitra Krishnamoorthy immediately took the help of police officials and filed a complaint against these social media abusers at the Oshiwara police station. Reportedly, police has revealed that they have registered the complaint against four offenders under IPC [Indian Penal Code] section 509 Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman and 67 (a) Punishment for publishing or transmitting of material containing sexually explicit act, etc. in electronic form. In fact, after the FIR, Suchitra even added a picture of her outside the police station on social media. Thank you https://twitter.com/MumbaiPolice @MumbaiPolice You are the best ?????? https://t.co/IsaeSgPPUv pic.twitter.com/IsaeSgPPUv Suchitra (@suchitrak) https://twitter.com/suchitrak/status/890108920928378881 July 26, 2017 From slut-shaming to rape threats, Suchitra Krishnamoorthy received a series of posts on social media responding to her comment on Azaan since the actress used words like lowlife and dumb. But that was not it. She continued to respond to posts that constantly degraded her with derogatory remarks and sexually explicit content. Sharing all of this on social media, Suchitra finally decided to further deal with the matter legally. came home at 4.45 am 2 most aggressive/ ear shattering call of azaan. Nothing more lowlife & dumb than such extreme imposed religiousity Suchitra (@suchitrak) https://twitter.com/suchitrak/status/888914947823902720 July 23, 2017 Look at these perverts! Feel sorry for my India -with this kind of attitude towards women its no wonder weve become rape capital of d world https://t.co/Hteg0IXRM8 pic.twitter.com/Hteg0IXRM8 Suchitra (@suchitrak) https://twitter.com/suchitrak/status/889916855200165890 July 25, 2017

Its a pity that women are attacked sexually regardless of what they are trying to say Suchitra Krishnamoorthi

16 Sep 2017

Singer-actress-homemaker Suchitra Krishnamoorthi didnt know what she was up against when she tweeted against early-morning prayers on loudspeakers. She was trolled savagely and mercilessly and is perhaps in the danger of being physically targeted. However she remained calm and adamant on the issue of a healthy debate on religious conventions. I think its a matter that should be discussed openly with a view to an amicable resolution. Whether azaan or bhajan, the use of loudspeakers should be restricted and legal time-limits followed. Suchitra also feels strongly on religion being used as a vote bank. Sensibilities of all religions should be taken into account and faith must not be imposed aggressively on another. Appeasement politics must end. About the danger posed by her outspokenness, Suchitra is not the least daunted. Im used to it. I faced worse when I wrote a blog saying I refuse to accept Ram as my bhagwan because of the way he treated Sita. That time they called me Dawoods concubine and asked me to go to Pakistan. This time I am being called a dhandhe waali for coming home late at night and a bhakt and a sanghi. Suchitra sees the tragedy of women constantly being abused through innuendos whenever they cause offence to an intolerant section of society. Its a pity that women are attacked sexually regardless of what they are trying to say or achieve. I find it amusing and yes, to use my favourite worddumb.

Amidst threats for her comments on noise pollution Suchitra Krishnamoorthi lands up in hospital

15 Sep 2017

There is tight security at Suchitra Krishnamoorthis residence, where she lives with her daughter, after Suchitra was trolled abused and threatened. There were bullies desirous of causing Suchitra bodily harm after she protested against the early-morning prayers on loudspeakers. Adding to her problems are health issues. Suchitra is now in the hospital with an attack of dengue fever. But recovering well. Says the worried mother, I am in Nanavati with dengue. I had to postpone the release of Kaveris song because of this. As far as her security after the azaan controversy is concerned Suchitra says, The cops were talking to me everyday and my building is also provided security. But I didnt even know I was under threat until I was informed by the cops. They have been exemplary. Reacting to the ugly trolls Suchitra says, It is a very misogynistic land.
