Actress Denies Stealing Preity Zinta's Boyfriend!

Suchitra Pillai who is currently working in 'The Broken News 2' starring Jaideep Ahlawat and Sonali Bendre, opened up about the misconception regarding her personal life. She claims that she was labeled as a 'Boyfriend snatcher' by everyone but it is not true.

For those who don't know, Suchitra Pillai is married to Lars Kjeldsen who dated popular heroine Preity Zinta. Suchitra said, “No, that's another story from somebody else. Preity and I were never friends, we were acquaintances because we had a common friend.”

She added, “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.”

She further explained, “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.' It was because I started dating Andrew Coyne, who had started Star Television in India. 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.”

As we know, Preity Zinta is now married to Gene Goodenough. They exchanged vows in 2016. She became a mother through surrogacy to twins Gia and Jai in 2021. On the other hand, Suchitra Pillai and Lars Kjeldsen got married in 2005 and had a baby together named Annika Kjeldsen. Suchitra Pillai is famously known for her role in the super hit film 'Dil Chata Hai'.
