My father Baldev Pathak was a Punjabi, and mother, Dina Pathak, a Kathiawadi Gujarati.

I got an opportunity to play all kinds of women - that has been the satisfying aspect of my career.

As an actor, I get into the mind space of many women and I don't have to take many births for that.

The most charming thing about theatre is that you get an instant reaction from the audience.

Though my mother gave me the first break, I didn't want to become an actor. I wanted to dance.

I really am fond of my grandchildren.
