Key Questions Answered
Suchitra first saw Shekhar Kapur when he came as the chief guest to her college while she was in the eleventh grade, and she later met him at age 18 when photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha sent her to meet him for a film that was never made.
Her family was opposed to the relationship because of a 30-year age gap between them and the fact that Shekhar was previously married and divorced, leading her mother to literally hold her feet and beg her not to marry him.
Suchitra and Shekhar remained married for eight years before eventually separating and taking joint custody of their daughter, Kavery.
