A biography for Supriya Pathakhasn’t been written yet.
“For older actresses, the story is still the same. They are either subservient wives taking care of their husbands - like that typical age-old character of a woman, who serves her husband a hot cup of tea as soon as he comes home; or they are mothers dependent on their sons.”
“Initially, I was worried about playing Hansa, because Hansa is someone who talks a lot but does nothing. But after I started playing the character, it was such a relief.”
“When I started, my mother was already an actress and I wasn't keen on being one.”
“In fact I watch Netflix these days for something light.”
“I love growing old and if I get good work playing women of my age and talk about their issues and lives, I am happiest doing that.”
“You achieve only as much you are destined to.”
“As an actor, I get into the mind space of many women and I don't have to take many births for that.”
“I really am fond of my grandchildren.”
“I am a product of theatre and whatever I learned there helped me emote in front of the camera.”
“I feel that cinema, if made entertainingly with a certain meaning, reaches out to a lot more people. It makes them aware of issues or things that help people to understand what's around them.”
“I enjoy performing different roles. I never want to get stuck with one character.”
“I know that I play a mother all the time, but different kinds of mother.”
“My mother had always been a working woman and so she would drop me to my mama's house everyday for the whole day since it was close by.”
“In all these years, I've witnessed how beautifully Hyderabad has grown.”
“I would love to play Hansaa again if somebody offers me that role. In fact, I have been pleading with the producers of 'Khichdi' to bring that show back.”
“I didn't want Sanah to be an actress. I was very concerned.”
“Sometimes, I do think about direction but I haven't much about it. I don't know if I want to put my foot in the other boat.”
“When I was told that we are doing another series of 'Kichidi' my reaction was indeed as if the wish, of not only me but the audiences who loved watching the show, was fulfilled again.”
“Whenever I see a film or read a book, the only thing which keeps me alive is acting and the fact that I will be offered a good role and I would be able to perform it. That is all that life means to me.”
“I heard a lot of very good things about Sanjay Leela Bhansali from my mother when she worked with him in Devdas. I also love the films that he makes so I was very excited when I was offered 'Ram-Leela.'”
