Even her forthcoming film, Karan Johar’s home production Wake Up Sid, casts her as an intellectual, as a writer from Kolkata. “She is an older woman with whom Ranbir Kapoor’s character falls in love,” says Sen Sharma. Though Kapoor was the typical lover boy on screen, it was a different story once the cameras were switched off. “Nobody messes with me and even Ranbir had to maintain a polite distance,” she says.
She would love to do “roles with a difference” but it’s only the highbrow characters that she gets. “I cannot identify with what I play on screen. They are too perfect and have a high moral ground. I am more carefree in real life,” she smiles. She’s keeping her fingers crossed that her mother, actor-filmmaker Aparna Sen’s next venture will help her break the mould? Her other projects include Mirch, with Raima Sen and Shahana Goswami, about women’s emancipation and has her in a double role. Guess, the label is going to stick for a while longer.
