Suchitra Krishnamoorthi on Co-Parenting with Shekhar Kapur

Suchitra Krishnamoorthi and Shekhar Kapur were married but divorced in 2007.

They have a daughter named Kaveri.

Suchitra says she is the 'responsible' parent while Shekhar is the 'vacation dad'.

She believes children should have both parents in their lives unless one is harmful.

She also talks about how she wanted to be a kind mother, different from her own strict upbringing.

Despite their differences, Shekhar is described as a committed father.

Suchitra admits that their separation affected their daughter and that single parenting was very challenging.
