Supriya Pathak: I'm Doing More Interesting Work Than I Did When I Was Younger

"It's a lovely time and a great opportunity to work with interesting young directors," said Supriya Pathak

Veteran actor Supriya Pathak Kapur believes she is doing more interesting work than ever before as the new crop of directors keep coming up with great opportunities for artistes like her. Pathak Kapur, who has been a part of the Hindi film industry for over four decades with classics such as Kalyug, Bazaar, Mirch Masala, Shanghai and Wake Up Sid to her credit besides TV shows like Idhar Udhar and Khichdi, said the scope of getting better roles is bigger today. "It's a lovely time and a great opportunity to work with interesting young directors. I'm doing more interesting work than when I was a young girl. Honestly, growing up has been a boon for me," the actor told PTI in a Zoom interview.  "Even the younger characters these days are pretty interesting. In our times, there used to be just a few of them and we all used to hope to get a chance to play them. Today the scope is much more, the girls of today have a lot more opportunities to play different characters," she added.  Post her successful stint on television as Hansa Praful Parekh of Khichdi, Pathak Kapur moved on to portray different shades of a mother with well-defined characters in films like Wake Up Sid (2008), Ram-Leela (2013) and Tigers (2014) among others.
