“I never wanted to be an actor”: Konkona Sen Sharma

Critics already bank upon her acting. From ‘Wake Up Sid’ to ‘Ek Thi Daayan’, her versatility has been proven more than once. Considering the fact that she was born to eminent actor-film maker Aparna Sen, Bollywood was never surprised having this multi-talented lady on-board. But well, she says she never aspired to be an actress!

konkona is busy shooting for her directorial debut ‘A Death in the Gunj’ right now. Did she want to be a director instead? The answer is again a NO!

“Honestly, I never wanted to be an actor either and I never thought I want to be a director. But it’s just that this particular story fascinated me for so long, a story that’s been with me for so long…I didn’t think I would write a script either. “But it started getting bigger and bigger and at some point I thought ‘oh so this is how its going to be like’, I have to write and direct it.”-she said.

We are however awaiting her first directorial venture!
