An entertainment portal had carried a report that Suchitra Krishnamoorthi was ‘spotted crying’ at a family  court few days ago. The Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa star had filed a case against Kapur over a flat, demanding its right for their daughter Kaveri. At the moment, Kabir Bedi and his wife Parveen Dusanjh are residing at the flat on lease. The report quoted Suchitra’s friend claiming that she was fighting for justice for her daughter, in case something happens to Suchitra. Suchitra refused to comment further on it, terming it ‘stressful’. 

The property dispute had made headlines three years ago too where Suchitra had fumed at Kabir Bedi for not ‘moving out’ of the flat, even claiming his wife Parveen had ‘cast a spell on Shekhar.’ The veteran actor had however stated that he was living in the flat legally, as per agreement.
