She was a successful model in the early nineties, endorsing products such as Palmolive soap, Clearasil, Sunrise Coffee, Limca and Colgate toothpaste. In 1994, she made her breakthrough in films with ''Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa'', a commercial and critically acclaimed hit, opposite Shahrukh Khan. She also starred in ''Kilukkampetti'' opposite Malayalam star Jayaram. She simultaneously pursued a music career in the mid- to late 1990s, releasing the pop albums ''Dole Dole'',〔()〕 ''Dum Tara'', ''Aha'', and ''Zindagi'', whose title track was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with the rest composed by Himesh Reshammiya.〔()〕 Having given up her showbiz career for early marriage, she returned after ten years later in the film ''My Wife's Murder'' (2005), opposite Anil Kapoor. The film garnered rave reviews for Suchitra as a performer. She also starred in ''Karma, Confessions and Holi'' in 2009 – an Indo-American coproduction with an ensemble cast of stars including Naomi Campbell, Sushmita Sen and Vincent Curatola. The film failed at the box office. The year 2010 saw the release of ''Rann'', a film about the Indian media, directed by Ram Gopal Varma with a cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Kannada superstar Sudeep and Riteish Deshmukh. Suchitra played the role of a media executive named Nalini Kashyap. Suchitra is a classically trained vocalist in the Gwalior gharana style of Indian classical music. She studied the art form for over ten years. She is an accomplished poet and painter, having trained in India, London and New York. She has exhibited her paintings in galleries across India and around the globe. Her art, Suchitra proclaims, is a divine blessing from Lord Ganesha. Having never painted or even sketched in her life before, Suchitra held a paintbrush in her hand for the first time on 27 September 2004 during the Ganesh Chathurthi festival, at the encouragement of her neighbour. Suchitra is a writer whose views were first noticed via her blogs. Her many blogs – first on www.intentblog.com, a site where she was invited to share her views by Deepak Chopra, "art in a body part" and "give me another break," and subsequently on her own site – have put Suchitra in the midst of many controversies. Suchitra's debut novel, ''The Summer of Cool'', was released by Penguin India in January 2009 and met with huge success. It is her first in four called the ''Swapnalok Society'' series. Based on the ethos of growing up in a typical co-operative housing society in Mumbai, this genre and these stories have struck a chord with young urban Indians. The second book in the series is called ''The Good News Reporter'' and was well received. In September 2012, Suchitra launched The Candlelight Company〔http://www.thecandlelightcompany.com〕 specializing in therapeutic organic candles for wellness. ''Drama Queen'', a first person memoir by Suchitra released in November 2013 has been receiving rave reviews. The first print of the book sold out within a week from its release date.
