Veteran actor Supriya Pathak had just started working on a new film when she met co-star Pankaj Kapur. Little did she know that their onscreen chemistry would eventually translate into an offscreen romance, leading to marriage. While the film, said to be titled Naya Mausam, was never released in theatres, it brought the two actors together, and Supriya said in a new interview that this was its sole purpose.

In an appearance on Twinkle Khanna’s YouTube chat show The Icons, Supriya spoke about her chemistry with Pankaj when they first met. She appeared on Twinkle’s show along with her actor-sister Ratna Pathak Shah. It was a second marriage for both Supriya and Pankaj. Supriya was earlier married for one year before she called it quits with her first husband, and Pankaj was married to Neliima Azeem, but the couple had parted ways by then.

Supriya said, “We were doing a film together, and that film was made only for us to meet, because it never got released. We just hit it off. We both had a lot of backlog and history but we just happened. By the time we finished the film, we confessed to each other and I went my way, and he went his, and then we got back in Mumbai together. That film never saw the light of the day.”
