Ratna Pathak Shah‘s recent role as a biker nani in the film Dhak Dhak has garnered attention. In a previous interview, the actress shared that she learned to ride a bike at the age of 65 for this role. While she is enjoying the diversity of roles she’s been offered in recent years, Ratna revealed that she didn’t have many opportunities during her younger days.
In a recent interview with Humans Of Bombay, Ratna discussed the lack of roles for her when she was younger and revealed that though her husband Naseeruddin Shah was part of many successful projects, it didn’t lead to her bagging major roles.
Ratna also spoke about how she got a small role in Shyam Benegal’s critically acclaimed film Mandi. She said, “I did a couple of films, including Shyam Benegal’s Mandi, but I think he did it as a favour. Naseer and I just got married and Naseer was supposed to leave me for two months and work on this film. So, Shayam said, ‘Okay you also come.’ But I have a blink-and-miss role in the film. But I enjoyed it. I didn’t have an ego. But the meaty parts, they parts I would have liked to do didn’t come to me and it did bother me.”
In recent years, Ratna has been a part of many memorable films, including Lipstick Under My Burkha, Khoobsurat, Kapoor & Sons, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Trial By Fire and more. Her latest film Dhak Dhak, which also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh, Dia Mirza, and Sanjana Sanghi, is currently running in theaters.
