In an exclusive interview with Outlook, actress Supriya Pathak talks about several things including her role in upcoming series 바카라Tabbar바카라, her ability to play a wide variety of characters and also discusses the issue about gender disparity in the industry.
Actress Supriya Pathak has been acting across different mediums for more than three decades now. From playing the role of the popular comic character of Hansa in the long running TV series 바카라Khichdi바카라, to playing the role of crime-lord Rani Mai in 바카라Cartel바카라, she is one of the few actresses who has enjoyed playing a variety of characters.
바카라The roles offered to me have been varied. I have always enjoyed playing different kinds of people. I get excited about it. Be it any medium, I need to prepare for a character in the same way. The only thing that probably changes, is that in cinematic format your character might get 20 or 30 minutes to project in a two-hour-long movie,바카라 she says.
바카라So, there is lesser time to prepare the character, unlike television and web series, which give you a lot of time to work on the character,바카라 she says further joking that 바카라in theatre you have to take a lot more time to prepare for the character, because in the middle of the show, you can바카라t go like 바카라oops I have made a mistake, lets go again. Maybe in the next show!바카라
The 60-year-old will be soon seen in the family-thriller series 바카라Tabbar바카라 on SonyLiv. There were plenty of reasons why, she agreed to be on the show, which also stars Pavan Malhotra and Ranvir Shorey, but the script and her character are the two primary reasons why she agreed to be a part of the series.
바카라It had a great plot and a very well-defined story. The plot opened beautifully. The script was something I liked, because it was very well written,바카라 she says.
Having portrayed many iconic characters in her career, Pathak바카라s secret is to 바카라become the character바카라 rather than trying to 바카라relate to바카라 it.
바카라I try and put in a lot of work on the kind of backstories. I think about things like what the character like the people associated to that character. You build it up from your mind. You read the script. And you imbibe all this,바카라 she says.
바카라It is not important to relate to that person, but so very important do me to work towards understanding that person. Like in 바카라Tabbar바카라, I don바카라t have to relate to a Sargun, but I have to become Sargun,바카라 Pathak adds.
She is acutely aware about the gender disparity in the industry, and while she acknowledges that there바카라s plenty of work to be done in that direction, she feels she never encountered the stereotype related to shelf-life of an actress.
바카라I don바카라t think we actors have a shelf life. If I can entertain my audiences and appreciate the stories that I am telling, then I can continue to work. There have been so many examples like that. My mother was 80, and was working till three months before her death. Zohra Sehgal has acted in so many films as well,바카라 she says.
바카라As per the gender difference we don바카라t need to be judged, I know, but then it happens world over. As women we fight it all the time. It바카라s an ongoing fight. Once in a while, we have to bow down [as well]. It바카라s a process. But it바카라s not going to change so fast,바카라 she signs off.
