Konkona Sen Sharma talks about balancing career and motherhood

Actress Konkona Sen Sharma recently starred as a police officer attempting to strike a balance between work and family in the new JioHotstar series Search: The Naina Murder Case.

In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the actress talks about her character's relatability as well as the evolving landscape for female actors. She also talked about balancing personal and professional lives.

The actress said, “It’s very normalised in a way. That aspect of it is something that I have also dealt with for many years – the balance of handling things at home and at work. In fact, I found playing Sanyukta quite liberating because she was just not handling things at home.”

Konkona admitted that she is still working on finding that balance and that it is a continuous process.

She shared, “On a good day, I feel I have a rich and fulfilling life with so many aspects to it that even if one is a little down, one can look at the other one. But on some days, I do feel ‘I don’t know how I am going to manage this’. Sometimes you fail, or on other days you succeed, or maybe fail less. That’s a nice way of putting it.”
