Suchitra Bhosle was born and raised in Bangalore, India. SheĀ earned a bachelorā€™s degree in hospitality management and a masterā€™s in business administration and was already successful as a corporate marketing strategist when she and her husband, Mr. Madhur Kapoor, went to the United States in 2001. Six months after the move, however, Bhosleā€™s beloved father died back home in India. ā€œHe was a hobbyist painter, and growing up we had lovely art books in our home, and I was always taken to the best art showsā€, she recalls. ā€œAnd the moment he passed away was an awakening call for meā€.
