A biography for Konkona Sen Sharmahasn’t been written yet.
“I'm very serious about my career. If someone feels that I carry a serious heroine tag, so be it.”
“My sensibility is such that I automatically get drawn to films that have a good story, good characterization.”
“I used to cry regularly. I felt a lot of pressure to look a certain way.”
“We have done 'Talvar' in three different parts, recreating three different scenarios. And so, it was very interesting for me as a performer to be a part of this film.”
“Your body is not your own when you are acting in a film. It becomes your character's body. Everyone sees you like that and builds up perceptions of you that have nothing to do with you.”
“Stars are a part of our emotional psyche, but audiences should also support a good indie film which may not have a big star.”
“I wish that Bollywood weren't so youth and beauty obsessed when it comes to women. I think it is very 'under representative' of women in their 30s.”
“If I love the script and have a good rapport with the director, then first-time director can also be very special.”
“I am the kind of person if I like something I will wear it till I get bored.”
“Those of us who live in Mumbai or Delhi have notions about what women who live in Bhopal, or smaller towns, are like; and that perception is wrong. Some people are scared by how complex and subversive these women's lives can be.”
“I think most of the times there is a disconnect between audience and filmmakers.”
“I feel liberated as a woman, in the way I live my life. However, it's not always reflected in the world around me. So I feel privileged but also isolated.”
“Acting in 'Mr. And Mrs. Iyer' was a unique experience. It was the first time that my mother was directing me in a lead role.”
“Which actress wouldn't want to work with Vishal Bharadwaj? I have worked with him before and I really like his sensibility.”
“I am very comfortable doing Bengali films because it's my mother tongue, which enables me to emote well, and my home is there too.”
“You become more understanding once you become a mom.”
“Not everybody is exactly the same, and superficially, we are all different in different ways. The common thread is the humanity that binds us.”
“Of course, I am choosy because I want to do good cinema.”
“'Wake Up Sid' was a very special script. It was director Ayan Mukherjee's first film and it was beautifully written.”
“As soon as a good script comes my way, I waste no time in signing a project.”
