Konkona Sensharma on A Monsoon Date: Lucky to be offered role of transsexual as not many good offers come my way
FirstpostKonkona Sensharma says she isn’t sad over lack of good offers as she feels fortunate to work with some of the best people in the business In her close to 15-years-long career, Konkona Sensharma has mostly featured in projects which have pushed the envelope but the actor says there are still a very few people who are ready to back something unconventional. I was very lucky to be offered something like this because there aren’t so many good offers that come my way,” Konkona told Press Trust of India. The three of us really collaborated on this.” The actor says though it’s wonderful that there are films like Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Aligarh among others, the representation of LGTBQ community is “far away from enough.” “By and large, we shy away… There’s an under-representation of this community on screen,” she says. Asked what could be the reason, the actor says, “it’s a question more for people who produce and finance films but there are a very few people ready to back something unconventional.
