Omkara may be headlined by Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, and Saif Ali Khan, but one character that stayed with the audience after the credits rolled was that of Indu, played by Konkona Sensharma. Her honest performance in the film won hearts. But interestingly, she had second thoughts about the role. In the recent episode of mid-day’s Sit with Hitlist series, Konkona Sensharma got candid with us about her life and career.

The actress shared how she thought of dropping out of the film multiple times due to the language. She recalled receiving a CD with her dialogue for the role and not being able to understand it because of the accent. Given that the film is set in the city of Meerut, in Uttar Pradesh, the plot follows the story of a gang leader, his gang, politics, and crime. The story, characters, and especially the dialogues were very local, which Kokona shares were difficult to grasp for her, given her rich Bengali roots.
