EXCLUSIVE: Ratna Pathak Shah reveals she was constantly pitted against her sister Supriya Pathak

Ratna Pathak is one of the most versatile actresses in Bollywood. She is one of a kind and there’s no denying that. Over the years, Ratna Pathak Shah has given impeccable performances in shows and movies like Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, Lipstick Under My Burkha, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Thappad, and Jayeshbhai Jordaar among others.

The veteran actress is now gearing up for the release of her upcoming film Dhak Dhak. Ahead of the film’s release, Ratna along with Dia Mirza, Sanjana Sanghi, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, sat down for an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble.

Ratna Pathak recalls being compared to sister Supriya

As always, Ratna was at her candid best. During the conversation, she recalled her old times and revealed that she was constantly pitted against her sister Supriya Pathak who she felt was prettier than her. The revelation came after her Dhak Dhak co-star Dia Mirza shared that she lost out on films because she was ‘good-looking’. The veteran actress shared, “My sister and I we were constantly compared and Supriya was definitely the much prettier one. I had funny teeth and was thin as a stick at that time.”

She further went on to add, “I was lucky I never got caught up with the fact of having to look good. I thought I can’t look good so then I had to do something else now. So, I better know how to act kamse kam woh toh mujhe kaam dega (at least that’ll give me work).” Like Ratna, Supriya Pathak is also a terrific actor.
