When Supriya met Sridevi

Opening about her meeting with Sridevi, Supriya told Puja Talwar in an interview, “I was coming from the US and Sridevi was in the same flight with us. Naturally, she is great, one of my favourite actors. We met and she was very happy to meet me. When we boarded the flight, normally an actor will never come by himself/herself and ask you to enact a character. It's not done because you are an actor, and you don't expect it.”

She further said, "I just went and sat and she came to me and said, ‘I am so sorry but can you please speak like Hansa.’ I said, ‘oh my god.' I was so happy. I said, ‘Hello, how are, khana kha ke jana.’ She was so thrilled throughout the flight, she kept laughing. She was a great, great fan of Khichdi.”
