Pati, patni aur serial-NOO

Supriya Pathak will be sharing screen space hubby Pankaj Kapoor after eight long years in Star One's Naya Office Office. The veteran actress, has acted in several films and serials. Here, she talks about working with her husband and her current assignments.

How does it feel to be working with your husband after so many years?
It feels great since the last time we worked together was eight years back. There's a great deal of comfort and we had a blast while shooting. It also gave me an additional reason to spend more time with him! From an actor's point of view, Pankaj ji is a stupendous performer and there is always something to look forward to when you watch him on screen. It gets even better when you are actually performing with him! You will also be seeing us in a movie together, which would be releasing shortly.

Were there any incidents while shooting that you recall?
Well, the shoot was very smooth. It went on for two days and was a lot of fun. The entire unit was very sweet and my relationship with Rajiv Mehraji (producer and director of Naya Office Office) goes a long way. I was just waiting for someone to offer me a good role with him and that just happened!

Are you planning on working with your husband in the future?
I'm working on two films with him, which are slated for a November launch. And hopefully, if something nice comes across our way together for television also, I would love to do it.

How was the working experience in Khichdi?
The experience was phenomenal. The character of Hansa has become legendary. In fact, when I was called for Naya Office Office, I told Rajiv that if I repeat the Hansa look here, people are bound to call it a clich.

Why do you shy away from working in the saas-bahu serials?
There is no shying away per say. I have three children to look after! This is the stage where they need my maximum attention. Doing a daily soap would take away most of my time which I'd like to spend with family and at home.
