Suchitra Krishnamoorthi (Tamil: சுசித்ரா கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி, Hindi: सुचित्रा कृष्णमूर्ति) is an Indian actress, painter and singer.

She started her career with the TV series Chunauti (1987) but made her breakthrough in films with Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa opposite Shahrukh Khan. The movie was a huge hit and she became a star overnight. After a few films she left the industry and began a music career in the 1990s, releasing the pop albums Dole Dole and Dum Tara. She returned nearly ten years later in the critically acclaimed film My Wife's Murder (2005). She was married to Shekhar Kapur, a renowned filmmaker from India. In February 2007 they got divorced, allegedly due to an affair Kapur had with Bollywood actress Preity Zinta. Zinta has since denied the allegations brought forth by Krishnamurthy.
