MUMBAI: Konkana Sensharma will soon be seen in Meghna Gulzar’s Talvar alongwith Irrfan Khan and Neeraj Kabi. She has worked with several female directors in her career (Aparna Sen directed Mr And Mrs Iyer, 2002; Zoya Akhtar helmed Luck By Chance, 2009). So, when Konkona said that it is wrong to believe that women can deal with certain subjects on the big screen with far more sensitivity than men can, one can take her word for it.
“I have met many men who are sensitive, and vice versa. We shouldn’t generalise. The problem is that there are not enough women directors. There is plenty to be done about that. There is a lot of sexism at play, with people taking decisions at a corporate level,” she said.
