Suchitra Krishnamurthi is back with a talk show on Zee TV
|
IN CAME this Tamil girl, swinging in her soft features in Kundan Shah's Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naan. That was in the early 1990s. A little more role-playing on camera, then the big news broke out - Suchitra Krishnamurthi was marrying one of the most eligible bachelors of Bollywood, actor-director Shekhar Kapur. Overnight, she became the envy of many.
Then came her solo music album, "Dole Dole." That was a few years ago. The video became as popular as her light and fluffy crooning. And the entertainment world saw a fresh side of Suchi. But all this was a long time ago. Just like she came into the frame like a puff of air, by and by, she left it too without much gush.
Now, Suchitra, mother of one, is back in the spotlight. Fresh as ever. In a new avatar, though. As the host of an afternoon talk show, Hum Aur Tum on Zee TV, Suchi chats up celebrity couples. Not that she was initially comfortable with her new role. "I never wanted to do something serious. I am not that type. So, till a day before the promos for the show were shot, I was not sure whether I wanted to do it. I actually refused them that day. But after putting down the phone, I thought about its format and said to myself, why not," says Suchitra. Produced by Applause Entertainment for Zee to be aired at 1 p.m. on Sundays, the 13-episode show is being sponsored by bharatmatrimony.com.
"To begin with, we are now interviewing two celebrity couples. I should say it is a chatty and casual affair and yet relevant to everyone's lives," she continues. Busy mothering little Kaveri, being Mrs. Kapur and learning stained glass painting - "Even my bathroom windows have stained glass now" - she indeed utilised her hiatus at her own pace. All set to take off again, she has many a project on hand.
"I am working with music director-composer Raju Singh at present for my second music album. It will be called Ur Le," she says. But what takes the cake is her re-entry into films after a break of almost a decade. "I will be starring in a Ramgopal Varma film opposite Anil Kapoor, most likely in early September," she reveals. Talk show, music album and acting. All that is left to be seen is a joint project with Shekar Kapur. But the suggestion at once evokes this reaction: "No way shall we be doing something together. I honestly believe if a couple, who are both professionals, do anything together, they end up creating a mess." Rolling her eyes, Suchitra leaves no scope for any further query. You leave her to herself. The cute little girl has grown up indeed!
