Perhaps you are right.But I think money is one of the causes of the loss of quality.look at most Hindi movies.big stars,great sets,great costumes but where is the story?where are the nuances of performance?all that is lost in all the shiny glittery presentation.but again maybe that slick packaging is all we want.right?

Her film in lust stories 2 blew my mind . It was that good .
Her acting in Omkara, Wake Up Sid and Life In Metro is really unforgettable. She is truly natural and has her own style without trying to be desperate or imitating Hollywood.
When I first saw Konkana Sen Sharma, all those years ago, I remember thinking, "She's not as pretty as her mother is." By the time I finished watching 'Mr and Mrs Iyer', I'd completely forgotten about her looks; her talent surpassed any preconceived notion I might have had about 'beauty'. Since then, I've followed her career closely, watching most films just to watch her (seemingly) effortless performances. Each time, whatever the length of her role, I have been mesmerized. Now, older (and hopefully, a little wiser), I also find her immensely beautiful - mainly because she's so unpretentious and 'real'. Besides, she (like Vidya Balan) always makes me smile when I hear her talk. Thank you, Anupama - this was such a treat. Edited to add: If there's really a petition around to ask her to direct again, please let me know - I'll sign it like a shot!
I love the way Konkana can meticulously analyze herself, her profession, every thought is so vigorously fleshed out, each word a nugget of information and her choice of vocabulary is so spot on. Konkana is so honest, intelligent, articulate and down to earth. It is obvious that she is well read, is her own person and does not seek external validation.
Koko is one of the most humble and modest human beings of Bollywood today. It’s sucha pleasure hearing her out today. Also, she’s just growing and growing and how! 👏

I thought I loved her as an actor. But now I love her as a person as well. She is so witty and well spoken. She is able to express so much and so well.

Ufff delectable
KONKONA is that talented kid in the class who wins all the medals and trophies 🏆 and she isn't interested in counting these awards but continuing to win ❤
Everytime Konkona finished answering Anupama's question, I feared if the interview would end now and checked the remaining length. That much appealing, interesting and enriching was this conversion. And waiting for Soup. ❤❤❤
I first discovered the entity called Konkona SenSharma back in 2009, when I watched Luck By Chance and Wake Up Sid back-to-back on cable TV. Sure, they were hyped around the stars at the centre, Farhan and Ranbir respectively, but without Koko, none of the films would have had the soul they ended up having. Then of course, I discovered her other accomplishments in retrospect. Glad we have her. And damn lucky, too.
AAAAAAAA she’s simply the best interviewee! Such fun! 👏🏽

Indeed!
I love performances from Tabu, Vidya, Shefali, Konkana, Shabana, and Radhika as I really wait to see when their movies or other work comes out .. These are followed by works of Nimrat Kaur, Rajshri, Rasika, Tillotama, Divya Dutta. These women and their portrayals are so amazing and diverse. They represent so much of variation of what indian women can be through their different characters. Fell in love with Konkona when I saw Mr and Mrs Iyer, Followed by 15 park avenue .

Best line - I like to be invisible. Such an Aquarius ❤
Intelligent, beautiful, talented, articulate AND Koko seems so comfortable in her skin, which is admirable. It’s a breath of fresh air to watch someone who’s not performative 24/7.
She needs to direct more stuff. She is as good as her mother. ❤
What a spectacular conversation. Love this woman, she is just so bright and beautiful. Also FC and Anupama can there be a special round table of Konkona and her fav actors Tabu, Vidya and Shefali. Please please please ❤
I absolutely love the interviewing skills of Anupama Ma'am. Oh Konkona is one of my most favourite actor ever ❤
She is so so so well articulated... ❤️❤️❤️
Extremely talented without even consciously knowing that! Very real girl.
The fact that She loves Tabu,Vidya and Shefali says so much about her.They are her girls.She likes the real actors that are on her League 🫶
What a range Annu mam. Fantastic...more power to you and team. Koko...what can we say about you. such a lady...rockstar. Loved her in every way.
She is too good in acting direction and in engaging conversation ❤❤❤
I LOVE KONKONA!!! ❤❤ She is just brilliant. Real or Reel. Film Companion, thank you so much!!😊
Koko is so talented and humble. I love it when she speaks. THANK YOU Anupama for this gem
Wow Manoj,Shobhita and now Koko..thank you so much Anupama.It’s been ages since I last saw Konkana’s interview and man did I enjoy it.💃💃 Thank you Anupama.Koko it’s a delight to listen to you,so much to learn by just listening to you.❤️
Absolutely wonderful interview ..I didn’t realize Konkana has such a sense of humour
Konkona was terrifying as a witch in Ek Thi Daayan (2013).
Can't unsee the Tilottoma Shome hangover. Seems like both Koko and Tilo have merged now. Such similar personalities and conversations.
Phenomenal actress and a wonderful filmmaker!! loved her performances like Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, truly brilliant, Titli, Dosar, 15 park Avenue, wake up sid, omkaara, luck by chance and so many.
Watched this interview again, and am so struck by konkona's intelligence and depth and empathy... gosh I am fangirling😊
😊after a long time 😊 our favorite is back.❤konkona
Koko is such an inspiration. I feel like she is an elder sister I can look upto. Not just as an artist, but as a human. How she is humble, talented, appreciates the right level of self-doubt, and always surprises you with her performance. What makes her even more beautiful is that you sense that despite being in the industry for this long, she still is like a child, surprised by the fruits of her labor. ❤️ In one word, an authentic-talented human! ❤
She was best in wake up sid
Konkona’s finest performance apart from the ones mentioned is- 15 Park Avenue, directed by Aparna Sen. If you love her wirk or explore more, it is a must watch. I am not sure why no one talks about that performance.

One of the best interviews, Anupama. Konkana is so talented yet so down to earth. It is so interesting to watch her speak.
This is a damn good interview! Konkona really needs to do more acting and definitely more directing!
She has such a clarity in her thoughts, about everything. Be it her own personality, her expectations, acting.... God how do I love her more
Always love listening to Konkona. She's so talented and knowledgeable. Recently saw "Geeli Puchi", just a 30 minute short film, and couldn't stop thinking about her for such a long time! She leaves such an impact. We need to see her in international movies soon.
Loved this !! Konkona is such a delight to listen to and with Anupama Chopra interviewing her, what a combination 👏🏻👏🏻
God .. she was so good. so fun woman ! I like the part where she says about finishing a book and then listening to a podcast and you thnk "hurry up.. I have other thoughts coming in" wow so well put and so relatable !
FC always talks about the star system in the movie industry but there's one now in the OTT space too and in the media as well. A show like Kohhra deserved the kind of promotion Lust stories got but most prominent media channels, including Film Companion did not bother to interview the team. It's only after it became a hit that Surrinder Vicky ji was interviewed. Two years back the absolute A listers were interviewed by AC and rest by Sneha but now even Sneha filters the shows based on the actors starring in it.
Konkona sen is most underrated actress in bollywood..
Oh my god has no one watched Mr and Mrs Iyer? That was long time back
Konkana Sen Is so graceful and honest
Konkona is one of the finest actress and very attractive ❤
The Rapist was a phenomenal film and her performance! I thought she'd get a national award for it.
Konkana is so interesting to watch. You can't take your eyes off her. Have loved her work since Mr and Mrs Iyer. Great conversation
i love her, her body of work, the way she thinks, the way she smirks and answer after a thinking it, and Yesssss my list of coming binge is ready.
She's very much of a Bengali as much as an educated (not just degrees but mentally educated) Indian woman. I would ask people to watch her debut movie when she was in her teens back in year 2000... It's a Bengali film "Ek je ache Konya"/ translation (There is this young woman )... A film Directed by her mother, she played the role of a obsessive girl with mental issues getting fixated upon certain strangers who she comes across.. The character was creepy and she played it with such power... My god. Give it a watch.

Never read a negative comment on Konkona ❤ She is epic !
Konkana cannot be replicated, duplicated, manufactured. She truly is one of a kind
Extremely talented actress , now a director of good films, from a humble background speaks volumes. Truthful honest conversation, not to be in good books .
I was waiting for this interview for SO long.
Konkana is one of the few actors who can fit to T in a wake up sid or lipstick or the OTT shows and her interviews are a treat to watch! So sorted; no high headedness or over confidence like Pannu... Just a happy soul loving what she does everyday

Konkona Sen is such a special person, super talented yet so simple. Loved this interview ❤
What an absolutely wonderful interview, loved it 👌
What a beautiful conversation. Many thanks.
She likes shefali, vidya, and tabu?... she likes those who are her own level of great though I believe she is first on the list
Well spoken people are so easy to understand and what a marvellous actress/director she is Thank you FC for this interview
First time watching konkana's interview. It was so much fun. I thought she was a very hard person to crack. Loved this one❤️
Find me another actress who knows what a venn diagram is 😛
I love her sooo much....so great that she decided to be an actor
She is one of the finest we have right now! Loved every bit of this conversation :)
Can listen to her whole day she is genuine and can see that
How can someone be soooo poised and well-spoken and humble at the same time :) love her.....
Mr and Mrs Iyer ❤
We need more interviews of Konkana…❤ her directorial debut A death in the Gunj was a masterpiece… and Vikrant messy was sooo good
Why is so humble and sweet? I just couldn’t look away.
Where does that leave us upcoming actors who aren’t stars? Where do we stand? Probably one of the harshest reality checks given in this interview.
Loved it. Great interview, interviewer and interviewee
Starting my day watching this amazing interview of Koko. ❤️
Best interview ever!!! I love konkona❤
She is daughter of Aparna Sen. From there the talent cane
One of the best actresses n directors of our cinema world. Intelligently she dies her work. Best of luck to Konkana Sen Sharma.
Koko is phenomenal and what a sheer talent.
I just love how calm she is .. her voice is so peaceful ☺️
Such a warm interview ❤
Truly the best of the best!
Simply, love her
FANTASTIC interview!!!
She Is Simple , But Brutally Honest ..❤
Love this interaction. Love them both !
Konkona is giving Neoncore and I’m here for it 👏🏽
Great interview, she's so talented, honest and down to earth. I am watching the diplomat too and a slight mistake its Kerri Russell who plays the lead role of the Ambassador. Kerri Russell was also in the Emmy acclaimed The Americans. Kerri Washington is an American African actress who was amazing in the show Scandal!
Love you so much Konkona!!!💜
So, so much love for Konkona!
