As hype builds around her Netflix project ‘Accused’ launching February 27, Konkona Sen Sharma reflects on the disconnect between her inner world and celebrity status. The critically acclaimed star, known for authentic portrayals, revealed her reluctance to embrace the ‘artist’ tag in a recent interview.
Promoting the film, Konkona shared, ‘I can’t see myself through others’ eyes. Public personas don’t interest me; I see a regular person on a journey of self-discovery. Introducing myself as an artist often feels artificial.’
She champions introspection as a growth tool. ‘Self-criticism sharpens us. Denying imperfections halts progress. Regularly interrogating beliefs, owning errors, and embracing change keeps us moving forward.’
Regarding image management, Konkona was pragmatic: ‘We influence public views minimally. Audiences and media craft narratives independently. Fixating on this erodes authenticity. Prioritize internal resilience over fleeting opinions.’
Breaking molds is crucial, she asserted. ‘Fixed images constrain artistic and personal evolution. I value inner peace, guided by personal conviction rather than consensus.’ ‘Accused’ marks another milestone, underscoring Konkona’s commitment to meaningful storytelling amid her grounded philosophy.
