"I was far cooler than Aisha, amazed by love I still receive": Konkona Sensharma reflects on 'Wake Up Sid'

13 Jan 2024

"I am always amazed by the love I get for 'Wake Up Sid.' I can't tell you, for Aisha Banerjee, for the 'Ektara' song, people are still sending me DMs. They are singing 'Ektara' and saying, 'This is for you, Konkona.' It's very touching. I appreciate it because I haven't done commercial films like that," Konkona said.Konkona went on to discuss how much she related to her character from the movie, Aisha Banarjee, an aspiring writer. "I thought I was far cooler than Aisha, but I liked working on that because Ayan Mukerji, who was the director and writer, was only 25-26. He was such a good writer-director, and the script was so nuanced. He had thought through everything so well. It was a delight to work with Ranbir and Ayan. They were already friends," Konkona said.Konkona praised her co-star Ranbir Kapoor, who has been to a film school and possessed the technical knowledge of camera placement."I was asking something to Anil Mehta, who is a famous DOP and Ranbir answered finally. I was really impressed about his camera knowledge," Konkona added.Recently, Konkona and Ranbir collaborated on an ad that evoked many memories and prompted fans to ask for a sequel to the Ayan Mukerji directorial.Ranbir Kapoor was last seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal,' while Konkona is featuring in 'Killer Soup' with Manoj Bajpayee, streaming on an OTT platform.
