I Enjoy Playing A Wicked Woman: Konkona Sen Sharma
December 18th, 2010 - 1:28 pm ICT by Sampurn Wire
Konkona Sen Sharma has already established a forte for playing the most unconventional roles onscreen. An ardent follower of art house films, the dusky Bengali beauty has more often than not shied away from making appearances in commercial cinema. While Konkona Sen Sharma brushes off such complains made against her and says that she is open to all kinds of good films, it is her wicked character in her latest release Mirch that the actress would love to portray onscreen again.
Though many within the film industry would refrain from performing in a film that is sexually explicit, Konkona Sen Sharma wants more such roles to come her way! In a statement to the media, the Bengali and Hindi film actress says that such kind of characters pose a challenge to her as it has not often been portrayed on the Bollywood screen. KoKo, as she is lovingly called by her friends in the industry, loves the wicked streak that cheating women show and loves enacting it onscreen!
Are Bollywood filmmakers listening? Because we have only seen the lovely actress playing extremely roles. Be it the National Award winning performance in Page 3 or the box office superhit Life In A Metro, Konkona Sen Sharma has always been seen in a serious avatar. Therefore her wicked act in Mirch was loved not only by the actress but also by the audience. The movie opened among mixed reactions yesterday.
