Supriya Pathak & Pankaj Kapoor Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s belonged to Dharm; the 2010s to Mausam. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• They are married in real life. Supriya Pathak and Pankaj Kapoor tied the knot in 1988, nearly two decades before they acted together in Dharm (2007).
• Dharm (2007) was the first time they acted together on screen — and Pankaj Kapoor specifically requested his wife Supriya Pathak for the role of his on-screen wife. The director, Bhavna Talwar, agreed immediately.
• In Mausam (2011), Pankaj Kapoor played a strict father to Shahid Kapoor, while Supriya Pathak played the mother. Off-screen, they are stepfather and stepmother to Shahid — Pankaj married Supriya after Shahid's mother Neelima Azeem. So the family dynamic on screen mirrored their real one.
• Supriya Pathak once said about working with Pankaj Kapoor: 'He is a very strict director on set. But when we act together, he lets me be. He knows I’ll bring something he didn’t expect.'
• Happi (2015) was a passion project for Pankaj Kapoor — he wrote, directed, and starred in it. Supriya Pathak played his wife in the film. It remains the only film he has ever directed, and she was his first and only leading lady in that role.
