She never wanted to pursue acting, but her family\u2019s close affiliation with the art influenced Supriya Pathak to take it up as a profession. The result has been an incredible filmography starting from Kalyug (1981) and Bazaar to Sarkar Raj and Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela . The humble performer, however, credits her husband Pankaj Kapur for her onscreen charisma.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t want to be an actor and was studying to be a [Bharatanatyam] dancer. My mother (Dina Pathak) was in theatre and I had grown up in such an environment that I was influenced by creativity. But, I have learnt everything about acting from Pankaj sir. It\u2019s an amazing experience and an honour to work with him… Not because he\u2019s my husband; it makes it more difficult that way. But, he is a great co-actor to work with,\u201d says the 57-year-old.<\/p>\n
Pathak, who will be staging a Hindi-English play Dreamz-Saher with husband Pankaj Kapur at Siri Fort Auditorium on April 7, says this will be her debut theatre performance in the Capital. \u201cI have never performed for Delhiites, but I know that audience here is culturally aware. They are so much into theatre that their response can give you another high. Though I really enjoyed doing music for Pankaj ji\u2019s play last time (in Delhi), but now I will be on the stage. I\u2019m excited and looking forward to it,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n
Having won several awards for her various character portrayals, both in films and on television, Pathak emphasises the significance of theatre in every actor\u2019s life. \u201cTheatre plays an important part in an actor\u2019s growth. Television and films are more of a director\u2019s medium. Theatre is an actor\u2019s medium. It gives an insight into how to portray a character while providing its finer details. In theatre, you own a stage and can do what you want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
