Mum Aparna Sen didn't let Konkona watch commercial movies!

Critically acclaimed actress Konkona Sen Sharma says her "middle-of-the-road" sensibilities on

movies

come from the fact that as a child, she was not allowed to watch commercial entertainers either in

Hindi

or

Bengali

.
The daughter of celebrated filmmaker Aparna Sen, Konkona reveals: "I did not really grow up watching commercial Hindi films or Bengali films. My mother did not allow me to watch it. So, I have always watched different kind of films and my sensibilities lie with, I think, more middle-of-the-road sensible kind of cinema anyway. So that I think reflects in my films as well."

Konkana has impressed cinema-goers over the years with her low-on-glamour and high-on-performance roles in movies like ‘15 Park Avenue’, ‘Mr. and Mrs. Iyer’, ‘

Omkara

’, ‘Page 3’ and ‘Wake Up Sid’.
