After numerous TV shows (Khichdi being the most popular one) and movies, Supriya Pathak Kapur is back on the small screen as Shanti in 'Alaxmi - Humari Super Bahu' on Life OK. Ask her about changes in the industry in her long career span and Supriya says, "Films have become much more professional.

It is now a secure place for people." About her last film, Dibakar Banerjee's 'Shanghai', she says, "Dibakar is very supportive and is very clear about his work and what he wants.

My character was a mix of vulnerability with power. The impact of the character was very good.

" Supriya shared the screen space with actor Farooq Sheikh after nearly three decades. She laughs and says, "Oh, Farooq was my subordinate in the movie!" Supriya, who returned to the small screen after 'Khichdi', does not like giving too much time to acting.

She says, "I had been busy with 'Mausam' for the last two-three years. And even otherwise, I like to work only for a few days.

I can't give 20 days a month to a show." (less)
