Amma Daily Serial – E300 – 24th April Final Episode

Suchitra Pillai, an actress currently starring in “The Broken News 2” alongside Jaideep Ahlawat and Sonali Bendre, has addressed misconceptions about her personal life. She has been labelled a “boyfriend snatcher” in the past, but maintains this is untrue.

Pillai is married to Lars Kjeldsen, who previously dated actress Preity Zinta. Pillai clarifies, “No, that’s another story from somebody else. Preity and I were never friends, we were acquaintances because we had a common friend.”

She confirms Kjeldsen dated Zinta before they met, stating, “But, yes, Lars Kjeldsen did date Preity Zinta for some time but that was the breakup he had before he met me and only this part is true. I didn’t come between them, they split up for a totally different reason.”

Pillai elaborates on a different misunderstanding, “The big news that happened, which was a big misunderstanding, it was not because of me. It happened at the time I came back from England, I was called a ‘boyfriend snatcher’ on the cover of several magazines. The headline read, ‘Suchitra Pillai is a boyfriend snatcher.'”

This accusation stemmed from her relationship with Andrew Coyne, who founded Star Television in India. Pillai clarifies, “This was the relationship in question, but it was not because of me that Andrew and his partner and model Achala Sachdev fell apart. It is water under the bridge after many years and Archala and I have a laugh about it.”

For context, Preity Zinta married Gene Goodenough in 2016 and had twins via surrogacy in 2021. Suchitra Pillai and Lars Kjeldsen married in 2005 and have a daughter, Annika Kjeldsen. Pillai is known for her role in the successful film “Dil Chahta Hai.”
