I generally do not comment in these forums. But I must say it was a little frustrating to constantly not being able to hear the full story that Konkona was sharing. Konkona is such an eloquent speaker and story teller but some of the answers she couldn't even finish because the interviewer switched the topic or asked another question while she was sharing one story. Would have appreciated so much if the listening part was more than interrupting or co-talking.
Absolutely fell in love with her after watching Titli and Goynar Baksho in my childhood. Quite proud she's a Bengali.
OMG, this lady, Konkona Sen Sharma is just amazing. It's worth to spend an hour of your life listening to this lady. She is very educated, intelligent, talented, hard working and eloquent. Some of these attributes, she just inherited from her incredible mother, Aparna Sen.
I love her acting. I think she is one of the most genuine actress. She knows how to really get into character and then portray the character the way she wants it.
I loved her Killer Soup netflix series. Absolutely amazing acting. In the set of south indian, she just nailed it. Her tamil was fluent too. Love from Malaysia madam❤
Only podcast where i didn't kept hearing "like like like" Thank God🙏 Shows both were good literature students😊 how could Coco forget Titli😢😢 its one of my all time favorite movie its a masterpiece❤️
23:01
I know Smita ji you don't read comments but I really have great respect for yr versatile body of research..... The question you asks with so much zeal , emotions show how much experiences you have of various field weather politics , drama ,acting , colleges ,songs , influencers, youth Culture and journalism.
Thanks for your podcasts ❤
Love her response on animal. can't believe I wasted more than 3 hours of my life on that movie yesterday because it got on netflix and I wanted to understand what the hype was about.. such a waste of time
Nice cool conversation! Konkana Sen's style of talking, subtle, grounded, loved it! Easy on the mind and the ears too!
Always been a gr8 fan of Kon kana Sen and I visualise her as a true ARTIST !
Thanku so much Smita Ma'am that you host Konkana Sen Sharma Ma'am !!! She talks so politely n sweetly.. she is like that I know her as my friend n having no ego though she is very big star very ground to earth we are thankful for this podcast !!!
Vijaya Nirmala holds Guinness world record as the female director for directing 44 telugu movies, this apart from acting in 200 movies... Her journey as director started from 1973...
Konkana, you are an epitome of grace ❤❤ Love your craft
Dear Sneha Ji, Namashkaar 🙏
Her mother allowed her to watch anything and everything whatever she wanted to as per her own words. By all means, I am not sure that's the right thing to do. We don't live in Satyuga where children or youngsters can be left unattended. So I am sorry but no this is in no way graceful and to me it's very risky and dangerous. But she is from Film industry so I understand her bias. Today, OTT servers one the worst thing to currupt the minds of youngsters and young generation unfortunately but everyone's seems to be pretty okay wid it. Anyway.
@@deepeshsao1008 Mr Deepesh Ji 🙏🙏 why are you blaming her for what her mother decided and who are we do decide how she should be nurtured as a kid. she was her mothers daughter .. also, she is indeed a graceful women for me as she stands for a lot of issue when the entire industry shuts their mouth. I am a big admirer of her work in plethora of movies including wake up Sid, Page 3 and beyond. Look at her responses on this interviews…. So not like scripted show. And yes OTT content is dangerous but Konkana can’t control that, brother!
Such a delight to watch Konkona Sen. ❤ Very articulate and well put together.
Just loved this episode....I am a Konkona fan,right from the time I had the opportunity to get to know her,on screen, through social media,interviews,Bengali and Hindi films
Wake up Sid was simply too good-konkona’s style is so authentic and candid
I am a big fan of Smitha Prakash. I feel, podcast with Smitha Prakash should not be used to just promote some movies or web series as the audience are beyond this filmi dunia! Please consider my request! There are thousands of channels who survive on these kind of interviews, let them take care of promotions. You please continue to provide quality podcasts irrespective of promotions.
Oh my god oh my god ......I am so happy to see her face in the interview 🥺🥺🥺
Killer soup Amazing 🔥
Konkona Sharma Acting Was Very Nice.. From Tamil Fan 👌☺️
Smita, your asking her how she enjoyed differently for different roles. Isn't it obvious? Each character has different ways of emoting and it demands different ways to do so.
Lovely interview. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Keep it up❤❤❤❤
Konkona is just an amazing amazing artist; so genuine, so natural, hats off!!
&, a fantastic conversation, too❤❤
I love konkona's work of body and her way of articulation.
It's body of work you pervert 😂
Arundhati Devi (not Arundhati Roy) had directed Bengali films even before Aparna Sen.😊
Mr & Mrs Iyer for ever favorite. Such movies should be made more.
Where can I watch that?
I live in Hyderabad India, there's one charity which supports bright orphans who have got admission to professional courses. They support with fees, accommodation and food. I support this charity. This lady also support this kind of charity.
I really enjoy Konkona speaking.. I can relate to my city .. which definitely I miss in Delhi
I love this show! It’s kabhi informative kabhi fun. I’m just like an average Indian woman. I like politics and I like movies so I like this show. Koko is so sweet. Smita prakash is so intelligent. What a great conversation. Like a libra and scorpio meeting.
Smita Prakash is neither intelligent nor classy. She just belongs to the right political camp
I'm a fan of Konkana Sen Sharma, Thank U ANI.
Loved this conversation. The candid Konkana.
She is beautiful in every frame ❤
How can you dislike a film which you have not even watched..
Omg konkana is look more beautiful now 😍❤️
Delighted to watch her talk 🙂
I loved her performance in Omkara, Wake up sid, Geeli Puchi and now Killer soup..
U are a brilliant actress and excellent Director Konkana.
Lots of love and best wishes for future projects ❤❤❤❤
Very good actress, always look forward to seeing her on screen.
What a fab series they have created ❤ they really killed 🎉 awesome interview also. I always in love with her❤
Having a wise soul helps in deep understanding of human psyche so Konkona being a gem of a human portrays and directs with so much conviction
She is such a lovely spontaneous and warm personality ❤
Koko should do her own podcast.
अरुणा राजे aur सई परांजपे both are full fledged directors. Aruna is not only a documentary maker but a prolific director
I tonight watched last episode on Killer soup, every character is amazing 😊
Thank for this interview 🎉
My favouriate actress… loved her film death in the gunj
Protecting children from things they are not emotionally old enough for, is not censorship. It is good parenting.
The opposite is negligence.
She became noticeable after Killer Soup. Superb storyline. Nassar's acting was equally the best together with her.
Well this person in my life is very very influential ya
She has a beautiful heart ❤️
I really love her as a actor ...
Please mention where to watch the movie "the rapist", whicht ott platform?
Huge fan of konkana ...love her movie ❤
I like her very much ❤Want her movie
Brilliant👏👏
Great show AS USUAL 😊 . YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE MASTERS IN LITERATURE...... Never mind your shows are great,...
Wonderful interactions..We would be glad if actor with same calibre and more of strong girl, Kangana Ranaut should be invited
How could she not ask about Gilli puchi😮
A celebrity or an actress whom majority of Indian girls or woman can relate with.... I look upto her.. Konkanaji be as you are never do than skin brightening that every bollywood actresses are doing...please never do. I hope she sees this msg.
She definitely has the features to pull off the complexion with grace
Lovely!!!!❤
I loved about when konkana sen said in this podcast thst bai ki plate why should we keep it seprate ...because m thinking in the same way caz what a weird things people do they hire a maid n house help for their homes n maids washing utensils of theirs ( with their own hands ) n then how they eat on that platters or dishes!!!
How effortlessly she speak😍
Fab conversation. Love Konkana
She seems like one of the warmest people one can meet. No airs, though she is a fantastic actor.
By the way, this shows that two people may have different political ideologies but can have a healthy conversation and respect for each other's work.
Yes
Phenomenal
I love Konkona....such a phenomenal actress❤
Mr and mrs. Iyer her best work
So was Rahul Bose's character...he oozed so much charm and magnetism opposite Konkana
Consider Konkona Sen as one of the most versatile and pretty actresses! Smita, please interview her mom as well - Aparna Sen!
After a plethora of Jingoism and Govt. praising agenda movies, Finally came a movie which is showing the shortcomings the system. Great job done by Aditya Shrivastava, Sanjay Mishra and Durgesh Kumar. Bhumi Pednekar had a very filmsy writteb role, and her monologues changing the course of the movie was a little too much, could have been handled with a little more subtelty. But again Srk's production house going against the system again is really a hope of ray.
As you always said that we can ask for our choices to invite people so I request please invite Dr. Megha Consul from Max or Fortis hospital she is neonatologist n paediatric she is very ground to earth doc. ....neonatologist is a subject that no one talks much very few good hospitals for that very rare sensitive care provided on those hospitals ..but what about govt hospitals does they have this facilities caz it is expensive care low n uneducated people not aware that extremely premature babies like 25th week or 27 th week babies ( somehow they born early n very rare chances of surviving if not providing the immediate care to them n their mother) so she is the best to highlight this scenario as she is practising now more then 18 years ....atleast more doc who can talk about high risk pre mature births !!!! Atleast
Every Govt. Hospital should have this NICU free services for people who not able to paid for the same !!!
Konkana one of my favorite actress❤
The interviewer has no idea about her work 😂
My favourite ❤❤❤❤
My fav movie of her is Aaja Nachal le .
Jesus... just 19 min to the podcast & feels like how women chatters endlessly if they get along well. Good talk though.
You never mentioned about your one bengali film Titli, you did very good job Kankona
Very good, But you should have asked her about Mr. Irfan, because she had worked a lot with this legend, any way thank you.
we miss you konkona
U r a gem mam love u a lot
Konkona thinks well and speaks well
Delhi guy: Konkona is such a great person.
Huge Fan ❤
🙏 অভিনেত্রী কঙ্কনা সেন শর্মা.
Previlege is when you dont understand how advantaged you were to get a chance to act in a Rituparno Ghosh directorial film at the start of your career. Judging people because they used to prepare for UPSC while doing MA. Girl we have to take education to survive, we have to earn our living and have a safe life. Not all are previleged. There is a difference. Hum tum alag hai farq hai, farq hai, farq hai.. no hate to Konkona but she is unrelatable for masses. Comes from intellectually elite class.
At 22:29 Smita is asking even Rahul’s character is not Tamilian 😮
Clearly she has not watched Mr & Mrs Iyer 😅😂
This host never does proper research or watch content related to guest! She just wants views, make money and become popular by inviting celebrities
❤
❤❤
ma'am Nameshkar ...🙏😀, Please invite shri Chandaprakash Dwivedi ji, it will be Great service to the Nation ma'am - Regards
I wanna watch an adda with our Jaya Ahsan
Classic madame mayank
Why is this episode so short?! 😩😩
Jai siya ram Suprabhat Blessings
Smita, your podcast is turning into a Kapil Sharma Show to promote the bollywood launches and releases . Don't lose the exclusive sheen . There is already an overdose of Bollywood stuff . Your hard-core episodes have drawn viewers and listeners to the podcast . Don't turn it into the mundane and the ordinary.
Unka plate ek hoga but unka salary ek nahi hoga. Y dnt Smita ma'am and Konkona pay bais same as they earn
Konkana looks like young Jaya Bacchan with her voice matching with Jaya too.
Co-incidence
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The interviewer needs to stop interrupting Konkana and do better research!
Sakshi Tanwar please
Interview in hindi to reach larger audiences
Ap jaisi actress ko log kyu nhi itna famous banate h
When can we expect Nupur Sharma ji on your podcast mam
ne'er
Killer soup mein kiss jarurat nahi thi but jabardasti ghusai and usme problem nahi hai but animal se problem hai
I do love her film and her acting. But her mom stand as a writer and activist is in very controversial. In a polite way it is more pro muslim and in a rude way more anti hindu. Calling Deepika visit to J.N.U very courageous, where she stood up with opposing the CAA, NRC. Always speaking against Hindutva is her main agenda.
u need to call jakaas actor Anil Kapoor who never looks old
