Bijal (Sat Oct 19 22:28:56 1996 IST):

Suchitra: After 20 years do you see yourself at Aasha Bhosale's place?

C# (Sat Oct 19 22:29:16 1996 IST):

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi. (Sat Oct 19 22:29:16 1996 IST):

C#: Haven't you seen any of my interviews. The heart throb responsible for my music career is the Bearded One (BO).

amit (Sat Oct 19 22:29:53 1996 IST):

Suchitra how was it like acting with Khan in the movie I forget the name..I have'nt seen it?

Bijal: Bombay! And you?

Aashish Srinivasan (Sat Oct 19 22:30:52 1996 IST):

Thanks! But do you think you are sexy? What was it that the BO fell for? Your looks? Or your brains?

joseph raj (Sat Oct 19 22:31:02 1996 IST):

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi. (Sat Oct 19 22:31:19 1996 IST):

Srikant: It's a joint decision. We go mostly by gut feeling.

hell (Sat Oct 19 22:31:25 1996 IST):

Suchitra.. has acting taken a complete back seat? won't you act anymore? what if Shekhar Kapur offered you a film?

Suchitra: I'm from New York.

J S Gandhi (Sat Oct 19 22:32:00 1996 IST):

Where do you see your career? In acting? Do you think your husband will go over the top like Ketan Mehta does with Deepa Sahi and cast you in a film? Or is your career in singing? It will always be part-time, won't it?

hell (Sat Oct 19 22:32:16 1996 IST):

Suchitra.. has acting taken a complete back seat? won't you act anymore? what if Shekhar Kapur offered you a film?

Suchitra>> Do you keep up with the music in USA. Who are your favorite bands or artists?

Srikant S Shenoy (Sat Oct 19 22:33:04 1996 IST):

Why do all you girls sound so alike? If I heard Alisha, Anaida, Jasmine, Mehnaz, Models and you, I wouldn't be able to make the difference? Is it because that's what sells?

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi. (Sat Oct 19 22:33:25 1996 IST):

Amit: Don't you know women in showbiz are forever sweet 16? I'm no exception. And I speak Telugu.

Hey guys do you know how old Suchitra is?

Aashish Srinivasan (Sat Oct 19 22:34:02 1996 IST):

MaamiWhat do you think is the fuure of Indian pop music? Will it be a fad or will it last? How can it last when the music is so similar?

Suchitra>> How would you feel if all of us guys and gals on here asked you these same questions face to face to you instead of cyberspace? Would it be more fun?
