Veteran Indian actress Supriya Pathak has opened up about her once emotionally distant relationship with sister Ratna Pathak Shah.
The Ram-Leela actress also shared that their bond has grown into something she now cherishes, shedding light on the personal side of one of Bollywood’s most respected acting families.
In a candid interview, the Khichdi and Tabbar star described how the sisters were not always close, with their early years marked by emotional space rather than togetherness.
Pathak confessed that she still feels “A bit scared” of her elder sister, a remark that underlined both her respect for Ratna and the complex dynamics of their relationship.
The Pathak sisters, both daughters of veteran actress Dina Pathak grew up in a household deeply rooted in theatre and performance, but neither took the same career trajectory early on.
Supriya carved her own niche in film and television, gaining acclaim for roles in comedy classics and acclaimed dramas, while Ratna also built her own successful acting career.
Over time, however, the once‑distant siblings have developed a close and precious connection, with Supriya acknowledging the emotional growth and deep respect that now defines their bond.
The discussion also included reflections from their niece, actress Sanah Kapur, who spoke about Ratna’s strength and influence within the family.
Supriya’s revelation offers fans a rare glimpse into her personal life beyond her on‑screen work, illustrating how time and shared experiences can transform relationships even within a famous family accustomed to public attention.
The actress, who has won multiple awards and remains a beloved figure in Hindi cinema and television, continues to balance her professional commitments with a close‑knit family life that has matured into one of mutual admiration and support.
