Konkona Sensharma, one of Indian cinema’s most acclaimed talents, recently revealed that she never initially envisioned acting as a career. Despite growing up in a film background and performing in college plays, she thought her future lay elsewhere. “I thought I would get into something like advertising, journalism, or publishing—things that people do after doing their English honors,” she shared in a conversation with mid-day’s Sit with Hitlist.

Konkona’s reason for being a snob

The actress also recounted her early experience with the Bengali film Ek Je Aachhe Kanya, which she shot during a college summer vacation. “I was so unhappy the whole time,” she admitted. “Even though the director, Subrata Sen, was so sweet, I was such a snob. I was unhappy with this kind of film because it was an adaptation of The Crush, which was like a Hollywood B film. I didn’t really empathise with my character and thought she was so silly. I couldn’t care less about the film or the part at that time.”
