Absolutely fell in love with her after watching Titli and Goynar Baksho in my childhood. Quite proud she's a Bengali.

I love her acting. I think she is one of the most genuine actress. She knows how to really get into character and then portray the character the way she wants it.

I generally do not comment in these forums. But I must say it was a little frustrating to constantly not being able to hear the full story that Konkona was sharing. Konkona is such an eloquent speaker and story teller but some of the answers she couldn't even finish because the interviewer switched the topic or asked another question while she was sharing one story. Would have appreciated so much if the listening part was more than interrupting or co-talking.

OMG, this lady, Konkona Sen Sharma is just amazing. It's worth to spend an hour of your life listening to this lady. She is very educated, intelligent, talented, hard working and eloquent. Some of these attributes, she just inherited from her incredible mother, Aparna Sen.

Dear Sneha Ji, Namashkaar 🙏 Her mother allowed her to watch anything and everything whatever she wanted to as per her own words. By all means, I am not sure that's the right thing to do. We don't live in Satyuga where children or youngsters can be left unattended. So I am sorry but no this is in no way graceful and to me it's very risky and dangerous. But she is from Film industry so I understand her bias. Today, OTT servers one the worst thing to currupt the minds of youngsters and young generation unfortunately but everyone's seems to be pretty okay wid it. Anyway.

@@deepeshsao1008 Mr Deepesh Ji 🙏🙏 why are you blaming her for what her mother decided and who are we do decide how she should be nurtured as a kid. she was her mothers daughter .. also, she is indeed a graceful women for me as she stands for a lot of issue when the entire industry shuts their mouth. I am a big admirer of her work in plethora of movies including wake up Sid, Page 3 and beyond. Look at her responses on this interviews…. So not like scripted show. And yes OTT content is dangerous but Konkana can’t control that, brother!

I am a big fan of Smitha Prakash. I feel, podcast with Smitha Prakash should not be used to just promote some movies or web series as the audience are beyond this filmi dunia! Please consider my request! There are thousands of channels who survive on these kind of interviews, let them take care of promotions. You please continue to provide quality podcasts irrespective of promotions.

After a plethora of Jingoism and Govt. praising agenda movies, Finally came a movie which is showing the shortcomings the system. Great job done by Aditya Shrivastava, Sanjay Mishra and Durgesh Kumar. Bhumi Pednekar had a very filmsy writteb role, and her monologues changing the course of the movie was a little too much, could have been handled with a little more subtelty. But again Srk's production house going against the system again is really a hope of ray.

As you always said that we can ask for our choices to invite people so I request please invite Dr. Megha Consul from Max or Fortis hospital she is neonatologist n paediatric she is very ground to earth doc. ....neonatologist is a subject that no one talks much very few good hospitals for that very rare sensitive care provided on those hospitals ..but what about govt hospitals does they have this facilities caz it is expensive care low n uneducated people not aware that extremely premature babies like 25th week or 27 th week babies ( somehow they born early n very rare chances of surviving if not providing the immediate care to them n their mother) so she is the best to highlight this scenario as she is practising now more then 18 years ....atleast more doc who can talk about high risk pre mature births !!!! Atleast Every Govt. Hospital should have this NICU free services for people who not able to paid for the same !!!

Previlege is when you dont understand how advantaged you were to get a chance to act in a Rituparno Ghosh directorial film at the start of your career. Judging people because they used to prepare for UPSC while doing MA. Girl we have to take education to survive, we have to earn our living and have a safe life. Not all are previleged. There is a difference. Hum tum alag hai farq hai, farq hai, farq hai.. no hate to Konkona but she is unrelatable for masses. Comes from intellectually elite class.
