Betrayal and Obstacles:
Describing Shekhar as a 'traitor,' Suchitra fearlessly delved into her long-standing infatuation with him since her teenage years and shed light on the challenges their marriage encountered. While Suchitra had aspirations to pursue acting, her husband was vehemently against it. Despite coming from a non-filmy background, she started receiving film offers during her school and college days, taking up occasional roles and even acting in a Malayalam film. Her parents, however, strongly opposed her acting ambitions, which led to her deceiving them and traveling to Kochi for a film shoot. Despite the obstacles, Suchitra appeared in several highly successful movies.

Marital Discord:
Suchitra admitted that her husband's disapproval of her acting career didn't bother her much initially. However, she acknowledged her naivety in understanding his reasons for advising against working in the industry. Although she possessed more talent than ambition, she never anticipated any hindrance in her life, but it did occur. Shekhar's objections to her pursuing acting became a significant point of contention in their relationship. Suchitra's talent clashed with his desires, resulting in a strain that weakened the foundation of their marriage.

Age Gap and Parental Opposition:
Furthermore, Suchitra revealed that her parents strongly objected to her union with Shekhar due to the considerable age gap between them. Not only was Shekhar the same age as her mother, but he was also divorced and associated with the film industry. Suchitra's mother was heartbroken and pleaded with her not to marry him, even suggesting having an affair with him to satisfy her curiosity. However, Suchitra remained resolute in her conviction that this was her true desire, a decision she wholeheartedly embraced.
