In a recent interview, acclaimed actress Konkona Sen Sharma revisits her role in the 2009 film Luck By Chance, which is gaining renewed popularity. Konkona reveals that she was "completely blown away" when she first read the script, describing it as "one of the best scripts I've ever read."
The film, directed by Zoya Akhtar, offered an unusual and insightful look at the inner workings of the Hindi film industry through the eyes of two struggling actors. Konkona was thrilled to bring to life the character of Sona Mishra, a small-town woman trying her luck in Bollywood. She calls the role "an interesting and unusual character with a great and unusual resolution."
The renewed interest in Luck By Chance comes as the popularity of the series The Ba***ds of Bollywood has brought focus back to films that offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the industry. Konkona is happy to see the movie back in the limelight, as she was initially unsure if it would get the "green light" or the right actors it deserved.
Known for her intense and nuanced performances in films like Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, Omkara, and Lipstick Under My Burkha, Konkona has also directed critically acclaimed projects like A Death in the Gunj and The Mirror segment in Lust Stories 2. Her latest role is in the web series Search: The Naina Murder Case, where she plays a police officer investigating a teenager's murder.
