Konkona Sensharma<\/a> has established herself as a reliable actor and director over the years. On the acting front, Konkona was seen in Metro\u2026 In Dino this year, where she was paired opposite actor Pankaj Tripathi<\/a>. In the film, she is also seen romancing a man younger than her, actor Rohan Gurbaxani. <\/p>\n

On an episode of their chat show, Kajol<\/a> and Twinkle Khanna had asked a question to Salman Khan<\/a> and Aamir Khan about why when older male actors romance younger female actors, it\u2019s called cinema magic, while when it happens the other way round, it\u2019s called bold. The same recently happened as Ranveer Singh was paired opposite 20-year-old Sara Arjun in Dhurandhar<\/a>. Having been in those shoes, Konkona Sensharma presents her take on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the audience\u2019s prerogative and their right. Somebody can see it as bold, somebody else might not. For me, personally it\u2019s not a bold concept because there’s so many different couples of different age groups in real life. We see it even amongst famous people, and it’s slowly kind of becoming normalised, so why do we need to keep on harping about all this? It is not interesting for me personally, but I have no objection to other people discussing it,\u201d says Konkona, who was last seen in the web series Search: The Naina Murder Case.<\/p>\n

The actor insists that while women are tried to be fitted in certain boxes, it\u2019s unfair to do so. \u201cThere is no one way of being a woman. That is something even Durga exemplifies, showing all the different roles that women can inhabit and all different ways that one can be a woman. There is no one described way that it has to be. So it is nice to have that lens open up so that we can see the complexities and nuances of human beings,\u201d she ends.<\/p>\n

She adds, \u201cIn both my films, the age gap served a different purpose. Just to see it from the lens of romancing a younger man and it being bold, it’s a little boring for me. In Metro, it was very humorously done and that actually brought out Pankaj\u2019s dilemma. No one talks about Pankaj going to a hotel to meet another young woman. I don\u2019t know why that is not called \u2018bold\u2019? Even in Dolly Kitty, it was a comment on the difficult marriage that my character was going through. So she had this affair with this younger man, which was really on her path to self realisation of many things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Konkona Sensharma has established herself as a reliable actor and director over the years.
