December 6, 2010 : Konkona Sen Sharma may be neck deep in work at the present moment but she will take a break after this year Christmas, says the actress. Waiting eagerly for the release of films like Mirch and ‘Iti Mrinalini’, Konkona Sen Sharma says that she is very happy to be a part of different types of cinema. ‘Iti Mrinalini’ is a film very close to Konkona’s heart considering that it has been made by her mother Aparna Sen, and the just married actress is very excited and eagerly awaiting the release of Aparna Sen’s upcoming directorial venture. The audience too, is very eager to watch Konkona Sen Sharma in her mother’s movie again as this may be yet another National Award winning performance!
While ‘Iti Mrinalini’ describes the life of an actress named Mrinalini, the younger being played by Konkona Sen Sharma and the older version by her mother Aparna Sen, Mirch is a more coming-of-age film which deals on a variety of topics relevant in a woman’s life including her sex life. Asked as to whether she does not feel that such bold cinema is still not accepted in Indian society, Konkona promptly replies that movie goers have evolved and are comfortable with sex on screen.
After Mirch and ‘Iti Mrinalini’ it will be no work and only rest for the dusky Bong beauty. Yes, she is expecting her first child with actor husband Ranvir Shorey and will thus not be seen in film sets until the middle of next year. Marriage has not changed her much, stresses Konkona Sen Sharma, so will being a mother bring any change? To get that answer we will have to wait for a while longer, just like we will have to wait to watch Konkona on screen again.
