Konkana's a working mommy

Konkona Sensharma turns a year older on December 3.


Konkona Sensharma in Mirch

The actress has lots to look forward to in the coming year motherhood and two of her movies Vinay Shukla's Mirch and her mom Aparna Sen's Iti Mrinalani release shortly.

Though the actress believes in only talking about her films and detests answering any personal questions, we try and ask...

When is the baby due?
Some time in March.

There was a lot of speculation when you were spotted last month with a big belly considering that you got married to Ranvir Shorey in September.
People can speculate and gossip till the cows come home. I will not say anything on this front.

You will be back on the scene break ke baad?
I will definitely be back to acting after my delivery. Right now, no one will hire an actress with a big belly.



Have you planned anything for your birthday on December 3?
It's not something I would like to talk about. But I do celebrate sometimes they are big, sometimes small. There will be something but I have no clue about it now.

You essay two roles in Vinay Shukla's Mirch?
Yes. I essay a Rajasthani princess and a contemporary woman. I have known Vinay through Shabana Azmi for a while. I had seen his earlier film Godmother and loved it. When he related the story of Mirch to me, I was greatly interested in its script. The movie is about a director showcasing four of his stories that he wants to make into a film. The stories are about the sexual emancipation of women. I feature in two of the stories. There is a fantastic ensemble cast in the movie. The women in the film are naughty and saucy but Vinay has treated the subject in a sophisticated manner, it is definitely not vulgar.

Iti Mrinalani is doing the festival circuit...
Right now, my mother is with the movie at the Cairo Film Festival. The movie, about the life of an actress, has been shot in Bengali and dubbed in Hindi. It is slated to release later this month. Interestingly, mother and I play the same character in the movie.

You also feature in Saat Khoon Maaf?
I have just done a cameo in the movie and have completed it long back.
