Talented Bengali Actress Konkona Sen Sharma

Young Bengali actor Konkona Sen Sharma has gained applause for her performance in a variety of meaningful roles in the Hindi film industry. She does not like being labelled as a Bollywood actor. Instead National Award winner Konkona Sen Sharma wants to be known as an artiste working in the Indian film industry.

Konkona Sen Sharma is back with two strong contenders in The President is Coming and Luck by Chance. Of the two, she is perhaps more proud of the small budget The President is Coming. It’s the story of President Bush’s 2006 visit to India. The American embassy organises a competition, the winner of which will get to shake the President’s hand as the ‘future of India’.

There was a general feeling that Konkona Sen-Sharma is playing a lesbian in her new film ‘The President Is Coming’. But the truth is something else. It’s not at all like Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das’s serious take on lesbianism in ‘Fire’. It’s actually more like ‘Dostana’. Konkona’s character pretends to be a lesbian to get her own way.

What better way to begin the year but with a hearty laugh, loads of fun and a series of poke fun jokes on the most comical, goofball political leaders of all times George W Bush. ‘The President Is Coming,’ a political spoof on US outgoing President Bush is your ticket to wholesome fun
