Overview

• In BBC News Hindi interviews, Supriya Pathak asserted Shahid Kapoor is like her own son, describing their bond as any mother-son relationship.
• She first met Shahid when he was six and now regards him, son Ruhan and daughter Sanah as all her children and friends she can fight with, love and laugh with.
• Pathak met Pankaj Kapur on the set of their unreleased film Agla Mausam in Gidderbaha, married him in 1988 and later welcomed daughter Sanah around 1991 and son Ruhan around 1995.
• She credited Pankaj Kapur as her acting mentor and recalled her late mother Dina Pathak’s early skepticism that the marriage would last beyond their first two children.
• Her approach to a blended family stems from the joint-family values of her upbringing, fostering a natural ease in her relationships with all three children.
