Opening up to her followers, Suchitra shared how she thought she had finally found love and stability in her late 40s. “After the Suchi Leaks controversy, I thought nothing worse could ever happen to me. But, it happened. I fell in love. When I was 48, I got into a relationship. Everything that I never thought would happen to me happened to me.”

She explained that she was almost engaged to him and even referred to him as her husband in an old interview. “I was in for marriage, I was almost engaged. This was a person I had known for a long time. I remember saying in an interview that I was married, because we were kind of engaged at that time. His name is Shunmugaraj.”

According to her, he entered her life presenting himself as a saviour after her troubled years. “He walked into my life like a saviour. He told me that society kicked me down in the gut, Dhanush spoilt my name and Karthik Kumar [ex-husband] left me… He cried fool and isolated me from my circle and didn’t let me meet anyone.”
