Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi says she is ‘exhausted’ talking about Shah Rukh Khan
Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa completed 30 years of release earlier this year in February. Suchitra said she cannot ‘avoid’ answering questions about the film even now.
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi has had enough of all the questions related to her 1994 film Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa. In an interview with Midday, the actor shared that she is ‘exhausted’ talking about Shah Rukh Khan and the film, but seems like she cannot avoid doing so either.

What Suchitra said
In the interview, when Suchitra was asked whether she expected that her co-star Shah Rukh would emerge to become such a huge superstar, she said: "Of course. Everybody knew that he was destined for greatness. I'm exhausted answering questions about him frankly. But cannot seem to avoid that either.”
The actor also shared how she handles fame as an actor in the industry. “It's the thing I enjoy least about my profession and I find it intrusive. If I could find a way to do good work and stay anonymous outside the workplace it would be ideal for me. But that is impossible in the performing arts. Yahaan jo dikhta hai woh bikta hai (what you see is what sells),” she said.
