Suchitra was born on March 9, 1974, in a Telugu-speaking family in Maharashtra. Her father was a commissioner in the Income Tax Department while her mother was a professor and historian.
Most people assume my mother tongue is Tamil, it's actually Telugu. Though being born and brought up in Mumbai, at home we mostly spoke English.
