Supriya Pathak: The experience of working with new directors is unique

- Recalling various roles, Supriya Pathak says, my most popular role was 'Hansani' in 'Khichdi'. This was my very ‘sweet roll’. From the sweet rolls I became a stupid-sweet hansa.

The statue of Lord Ganesha is not brought to the house of Gujarati actress Supriya Pathak in Ganeshotsav, but she is a great devotee of Ganadhipati. He has a unique faith and trust in Devadhidev. When Supriya Pathak was a little girl, her mama ran a children's club and Supriya was an important part of it. They used to celebrate festivals with their neighbors in Matunga. However, when Supriya's mother, talented actress Dina Pathak, passed away, Supriya and her elder sister left a huge collection of various idols of Ganapati for actress Ratna Pathak-Shah, which is closer to Supriya's heart.

Supriya Pathak talks about her acting field. ‘I have immense faith in Indian mythology and I am a great believer. I have always been fascinated by Lord Ganesha. So even though I don't bring Ganadhipati's statue to my house during Ganeshotsav, my relationship with him (Ganesha) is really very strong. ' Supriya further states, "I started my career with the Gujarati play 'Menagurjari' directed by my mother. Everyone thought that my mother would start the play with my sister Ratna Pathak-Shah, but at the very last moment my mother started the play with me and until then no one even knew that she had a young daughter, 'he said. Laughs. Ratna Pathak Jetty was explored so Supriya Pathak was not known at that time. 'Ratna did a lot of professional plays at that time. While I was just a part of the names in a play. I did plays with Shailesh Dave while Ratna did a lot of plays with Praveen Joshi. ' At the same time, the old chewing actress says, 'Atish Kapadia and J. D. Majethia made a lot of good plays. His plays were superlative, but he was also a professional part of Gujarati theater, he could not be ignored, 'he said.

Looking back on the past, the actress had acted in Shyam Benegal's film 'Kaliyug' in 191, in which Shashi Kapoor and Rekha were in the lead roles. It is true that four decades have passed in the field of acting - I have completed 50 years in this field. However, I do not think that all these years are over, 'said Supriya.

‘Actually my dad loved me so much. He always said that it would be good if something happened to him. He meant that it would be better if I got married to a good person, 'says Supriya.' My life has been a lot easier than people who are ambitious and have high goals. '

‘Instead of saying anything about whether I got something or not, I would say that when I started working properly I felt like I should also do some good work. It's not that I haven't seen ups and downs in life, I had my fair share, but it hasn't pushed me to the brink. Yes, it is true that I have achieved a little less than others in my time and it was because of my attitude. '

Recalling various roles, Supriya Pathak says, "My most popular role was 'Hansani' in 'Khichdi'." This was my very ‘sweet roll’. From the sweet rolls I became a stupid-sweet hansa. Sanjay Leela Bhansali also gave me the role of Lady-Don Dhankor Bani in the film 'Galiyon Ki Raslila Ramlila'. "This role was really challenging and the audience saw whether I was able to play a different role or not," he says.

Supriya Pathak works with the younger generation of filmmakers. In this regard, he says, 'When I worked with Shyambabu (Benegal), he had already mentioned his name. They were set in their mold. So, the experience of working with new and small filmmakers is very different now. '

‘The current directors are incredible and you are also open to your own way and discussion. Doing so makes the role more interesting. It is a great pleasure to work with them, 'says Supriya. Currently, Supriya has done a film called 'Mimi', 'Tufan' and a web series called 'Cartel' in which she has played gray characters.

Supriya's family is closely associated with the Hindi film industry. Her sister Ratna, her husband Pankaj Kapoor, step son Shahid Kapoor, Banevi Naseeruddin Shah, her daughter Sana, who has acted in 'Ramprasad Ki Tehravi'. Supriya hopes that now she wants to work with her son Ruhan. ‘He’s a different kind of actor. So I want to see what he wants to do. ' She also wants to work with her husband. She made a film 'Dharam' with her husband, the subject of which was very beautiful. Also worked in ‘Season’, which he directed, but I haven’t been able to work with him as an actress for a very long time.

I don't know why people don't take us with them. It is a great pleasure to work with Pankaj again, 'he said. 'I think I've done a little less work than other artists of my time.'

At the same time, Supriya, returning to Gujarati theater, says, "Why is she enjoying a part of cinema?"
