A director need not to bear any expense . although you are a shareholder too than expenses should be distributed in mutually agreed. there is no law or procedure to share the expense in ratio.

Thanks @ pritesh . Company does not have money to bear expenses. So I think directors will invest money in the company for this purpose.

What if 1 director has shareholding of ~51% and other has shareholding of ~32% , so in this case as one of of the director has more than half shareholding, is he not liable more to bear expenses ?

No there is no concept of bearing expenses in any case . if possible can you give the company name.
