Konkana Sen Sharma

In a recent interview, renowned actress Konkona Sen Sharma revealed a unique aspect of her upbringing that sets her apart from her peers. Raised by her mother, acclaimed filmmaker Aparna Sen, and writer father Mukul Sharma, Konkona was encouraged to explore the world of mythological stories through the pages of books rather than on television screens.

Aparna Sen’s decision to steer her daughter away from popular mythological TV series like Ramayan and Mahabharata reflects a distinctive parenting approach. Konkona explained that her mother believed in the power of words and imagination, valuing the deeper understanding that reading could provide.

Instead of passively watching the tales unfold on screen, Konkona was urged to delve into the written narratives, allowing her mind to paint vivid pictures and connect with the stories on a personal level.

This unconventional approach highlights Aparna Sen’s commitment to fostering a love for literature and critical thinking in her daughter. Konkona’s upbringing nurtured her curiosity and creativity, guiding her towards a more profound appreciation for storytelling and cultural heritage.
