In this episode of The Male Feminist, host Siddhaarth Aalambayan sits down with actor, singer, and writer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi for a raw, unfiltered conversation on navigating life, legacy, and self-worth. Suchitra opens up about growing up in a South Indian household with a dad who was her biggest feminist role model, packing her bags after family opposition to pursue acting, and confronting the harsh reality of the "pretty person tax". She drops unapologetic truths on marriage and separation from Shekhar Kapur, handling street harassment and post-divorce stalkers, and why co-parenting often means mothers do all the heavy lifting while fathers get the praise. Suchitra also shares the thrilling backstory of how she single-handedly took a global banking giant to court over financial fraud and won. Watch the Episode NOW!
