When Konkona Sen Sharma says that the script of Mumbai Diaries 26/11 was “a page-turner”, it isn’t to be taken lightly. The praise, after all, is coming from not only one of the finest actors of the current generation, but also someone who has displayed a firm command over filmmaking with her directorial debut, A Death in the Gunj (2017). “The series is not trying to analyse the 26/11 [terror attacks in Mumbai]. It has used [the attacks] as a backdrop to see what could happen inside a government hospital in the city,” begins Sensharma. She plays the social services director of the hospital in which the Amazon Prime Video offering — also featuring Mohit Raina and Shreya Dhanwanthary — is set. “She is dealing with her own baggage. Somewhere, the incident changed all of us. She goes from a position of vulnerability to that of strength. I enjoyed that growth.”
