Supriya Pathak

“What is more important today for the audience is to have different kinds of content. They like variety, they like different kinds of stories, different kinds of entertainment.”

“I would love to be part of every film that's good.”

“The work pressure in a daily is much. There is no time to etch out characters.”

“I wasn't ambitious though I loved acting.”

“It is a dream come true to be working with Mr. Bachchan again. I played his sister in 'Shahenshah,' but then I had many questions unanswered as an actress.”

“I definitely hope and pray everyone has this kind of a married life - contented and happy.”

“The shows being made nowadays are very similar, very regressive. We are talking about the type of '60s, '70s kind of films, and similar stories are being shown on TV today. Only rehashed and glossy. It does not interest me.”

“I said yes to a Gujarati film because I loved the script.”

“I am itching to play every character.”

“I feel Hansa is an evergreen character which has been a sheer pleasure to perform.”

“Though my mother gave me the first break, I didn't want to become an actor. I wanted to dance.”

“Films have become much more professional. It is now a secure place for people.”

“When TV came, it was a very strong medium. It reached out to so many people and it could have made difference but we got into mundaneness of it.”

“I gauge if I can create a different a woman. But sometimes, you feel the character isn't given enough space to perform.”

“My sister is a very good actress and when we are working together, we become our characters. We are not sisters then.”

“I didn't mind the extra weight as a change in myself but I feel I need to reduce it because of my age and before all the aches and pains kick in!”

“Earlier, I used to always ask people if they want me to answer as Supriya or Hansa. If they said Hansa, and asked me a question, I would say, I don't know. That's because Hansa doesn't know anything! For me, it was important to reach that state of thing in mind where I don't question anything.”

“I thought 'Bobby Jasoos' was an extremely interesting film.”

“It is great that the industry is open to accepting character roles and moving away from the cliched Bollywood Hindi masala films.”

“I must agree with the role. As actors, we influence people.”
