When asked about her relationship with stepson Shahid, Supriya said, "Mera beta hai. Bete ke sath toh normal jaisa maa ka rishta hota hai, vaisa hi hai mera aur Shahid ka bhi rishta. Malik ki badi daya hai. Jab main usko pehli baar mili thi, vo 6 saal ka tha. He's really my son (He is my son. The bond I share with Shahid is just like any normal mother-son relationship. By God’s great grace, when I first met him, he was six years old)."

She further spoke about being a friend to her children, saying, "Ruhaan, Sana, Shahid yeh sab mere bacche hain. Main unke saath ladd sakti hun, unhe pyaar kar sakti hun, hass sakti hun. Main sabki dost hun, teeno bacchon ki (Ruhaan, Shahid, Sanah are all my kids. I can fight with them, love them, laugh with them. I am friends with all of them)."
