Renowned for her fearless roles in unconventional cinema, Konkona Sen Sharma is gearing up for ‘Accused’, a gripping Netflix series set to premiere on February 27. In a revealing conversation, the actress discussed her discomfort with stardom and her highly self-critical approach to life and work.
‘I feel awkward labeling myself as an artist,’ Konkona admitted during promotional events. She explained her grounded perspective: ‘External perceptions don’t resonate with my self-view. I’m more interested in personal growth than social identities. Self-doubt keeps me real.’
Addressing self-critique directly, she noted its transformative power. ‘Constant self-examination prevents complacency. It’s healthy to question your perfection, acknowledge flaws, and adapt over time. This process fuels continuous improvement.’
Konkona highlighted the futility of controlling one’s image. ‘Public opinion is shaped by media, fans, and society—we can’t dictate it. Worrying excessively about how we’re seen leads to self-alienation. The key is nurturing inner strength against external noise.’
She stressed the importance of shattering preconceived notions. ‘Clinging to a single image stifles creativity and personal development. I tune into my intuition more than crowd approval, safeguarding my mental well-being above all.’ Fans eagerly await ‘Accused’, where Konkona once again showcases her depth and nuance.
