Call her an intelligent actor, and Konkana Sen Sharma snaps back, “How can you identify whether someone is intelligent or stupid?” Maybe, their choice of films and product endorsements has something to do with it! She visited Select City Walk mall in Saket recently to give out awards for an online puzzle commissioned by Lipton Tea. “I’m always associated with products that are related to thinking and inteligence. For instance, you will never see me endorsing cosmetics,” she admits.

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.
