Supriya Pathak, who featured in Satyaprem Ki Katha earlier this year, says that she always enjoyed writing short stories as a young girl, and recently, she was seen in a short film called Gangster Ganga, where she played a grandmother.

Ask her if she had any reservations about playing the part, and she says, “I am a grandmother in real life. So, why not? Shahid (Kapoor) is not my biological son, but he is like my son and his children are my grandchildren. So, why should I refrain from playing a grandmother in a film?”

Supriya and Pankaj Kapur’s son Ruhaan got married to actor-couple Seema and Manoj Pahwa’s daughter Manukriti in an intimate wedding in Mumbai on August 28 this year. March last year, their daughter Sanah tied the knot with Seema-Manoj’s son Mayank in Mahabaleshwar.

Sharing her happiness over how the two families had two weddings in the last one year, Supriya said, “Both the families now laugh over how ‘dono families ki len den theek ho gayi’. The interesting part was how the kids planned the weddings.”

She added, “We have known Seema and Manoj for many years now and have celebrated festivals, birthdays and even gone on holidays together. My kids would always spend time at Seema’s home and the four of them were best friends. They have literally grown up together. ”

The actress is happy about how the family is now bigger with more actors. She said, “It is interesting how one by one, more actors have been added to the family. I would love to be part of an ensemble cast and work together on a project. Shahid and I have never been cast together, but I would love to work with him.”
