Actor Konkana Sen Sharma says she could relate to the journey of her character in the upcoming movie "Metro... In Dino" as it captures a real and often unspoken shift that occurs in most long-term relationships. Anurag Basu's latest directorial, a follow-up to the filmmaker's critically-acclaimed 2007 movie "Life... in a Metro", chronicles the bittersweet relationships of four couples in a contemporary setting. In the movie, Sen Sharma and Pankaj Tripathi play Kajol and Monty, a middle-aged couple, whose marriage is going through a turbulent phase.

"Anybody who has been in a long-term relationship, however good your relationship is, and you are genuinely in love, that magic changes. I wouldn't say it necessarily fades, but something changes in the dynamic, especially in domesticity. "Like, living together is a great killer of romance, you are constantly worrying about the menu or the AC, children, the EMIs and the school fees. So, that is a challenge in long-term relationships. So, I can relate to that a little," Sen Sharma told PTI. Besides Sen Sharma and Tripathi, "Metro"In Dino" also features Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan. Roy Kapur plays Parth, a commitment-phobic man, and he said the character's issues are yet another honest portrayal of emotions that the film encapsulates.

"He seems to be a commitment-phobic man-child, maybe I do not relate too much to that aspect. If the writing is good, it draws you in, and it makes you connect with it. "Dada (Basu) is great, he puts you in situations that are so fun to play out, they are such interesting, insightful things. It was a joy to play this role for me," Roy Kapur, who is paired opposite Sara Ali Khan in the movie, added.
