How Konkona as your co-star ?
I’m scared of working with her [Konkona Sen Sharma]. She’s so immensely talented. I don’t know if I can match up to her but I’m really looking forward to working with her.

How is she ?
[Konkona Sen Sharma]'s so easy going. And you don't get a feeling that she knows how incredibly talented she is. Zoya couldn't have asked for more.
-- Farhan Akhtar
We know Farhan as a talented commercial director. But now he do his actor debut with Konkona Sen in Zoya Akthar's "Lucky by Chance". This film is about a struggling actor comes from Delhi to Bombay and enters the Hindi film industry and Konkona play the leading lady with supporting casts like Juhi Chawla , Dimple Kapadia , Isha Sharvani and Rishi Kapoor.
But this movie based on film industry , this will be different from other Bollywood film industry based movies. Hearing that this film is on the subject of Homosexual relationships in Industry.
Also , Farhan says that their relationship in film is so-called love angle and this is not easy to define. "Lucky by Chance" is currently filming and the release date is to be announced soon . ( Source. )

Konkona Exclusive Interview On Indiafm for "AAJA NACHLE" ....
- Ther is a very good interview on Konkona's tomorrow release "Aaja Nachle" , sharing screen space with Madhuri and working with Yash Raj. Read it !
What's going through your mind right now?
I am very excited and dying to see the film's reaction. I've just seen the film and it's come out better than the best. It was such fun to shoot that it was evident from the film.
Was working with Madhuri like working with any other co-star you've worked with before?
When you are on the sets working with Madhuri Dixit, you tend to forget that she is 'The Madhuri Dixit' because she is so normal. Honestly speaking, she is unassuming, very friendly, very considerate. There was a time when my knees were hurting and she came forward like any other friend and offered her help. Yes, it was special to be working with her because I never thought that my wish to work with her would come true one day.
Again with Kunal Kapoor...or....Not again!
No, not at all. He is a great co-star to work with and very funny. We are romancing each other in this film too like you saw us in Laaga Chunari Mein Daag but in a different context all together. Here you will see a lot of humour and laughter in our roles here.
Did you say 'Yes' to Aaja Nachle because of Madhuri Dixit or Yash Raj Films?
The first time I read the script, I did not know that Madhuri Dixit was in the lead. Her presence in the film was given to us in the later stage. I didn't even meet Anil Mehta in the beginning. It was Aditya Chopra who narrated me the idea. I heard his thoughts and Aaja Nachle came across to me as a very warm-hearted film and a story with a lot of soul. I like it from that stage onwards and then came all the surprises when I found out that Anil Mehta was directing it and Madhuri was to play the lead. As one says - It just got better and better.
How was it to share screen space with Madhuri?
Madhuri shares screen space with not only me but all of us, whether it's Kunal, Ranvir, Vinay Pathak or Raghuveer Yadav. Sharing screen space with Madhuri is just so unbelievable. She is right in front of you and you tend to go speechless when she delivers her lines. She is an inspiration to watch and when you watch this film you will know exactly why.
How was Anil Mehta as a director?
Anil Mehta is extremely relaxed and laid back. He isn't one of those who shouts and stresses on the sets and it's so easy to work in such an environment where your director is calm and focused. He is very creative too and all of us had a memorable time working with Anil Mehta.
In your recent past, we've seen you play very lively and vivacious characters. Is Aaja Nachle going to be repetitive?
I don't frankly think that any of them have been repetitions in the past either whether it's 15 Park Avenue or Page 3 or Laaga Chunari Mein Daag. Lively and vivacious aren't the generic terms to describe the roles I've played so far. I think they are versatile. Aaja Nachle too in a cliched way is 'zara hatke'.
Are we going to see you complete a hat-trick with Yash Raj Films after Aaja Nachle?
For the time being, I have only been offered Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and Aaja Nachle. Let's see what happens in the future with Yash Raj Films.
What's so different about Yash Raj Films than other banners?
I think the biggest advantage of working with Yash Raj Films as a producer is that they do not bring their 'Yash Raj' presence on the sets. They make sure that everything goes smoothly and on time and let the actors and directors do the things.
Any memorable behind the scene incidents you'd like to share with us?
We all used to bring home made food on the sets and then get together at lunch time in one room and share our food with each other. Now this is quite rare and it doesn't happen in any film. That was a good bit of bonding for us. I also remember on the first day when I went to see how the choreography of the film was, I fainted and died but it lasted only for that day. Then I got used to it and got better and better at it.
Don't you think Aaja Nachle's true star is the choreographer?
Yes, certainly. Vaibhavi Merchant is instrumental to the film. It's all about singing and dancing but what Madhuri plays in the film is a choreographer's role and all that comes from Vaibhavi herself. She is indeed an inspiration for all of us.
Describe your role in Aaja Nachle.
I play a tomboy in this film who is called Anokhi. She is someone who is really funny and endearing. Anokhi is very enthusiastic but she just can't sing or dance to save her life. She is dying to join Madhuri's troupe of dancers but only after 'jee-tood mehnat' (working hard) she gets to join and eventually learns to dance and sing.
Any message for your fans?
Please go and watch Aaja Nachle because you will definitely enjoy it, have fun and be good to all.

Konkona become a story-teller !
Konkona is now recording for an audio book series for Karadi Tales.Watch the interview here.
"These are short folk tales with a little bit of a moral tucked away in every story. There is one on a rat and another one about making bargains,” Konkona says.
Ask: Is there any do's and don'ts in story telling?
Konkona: "I have been told to read slowly which is very difficult for me since I am a fast reader. Even when I am reading in my mind or aloud I tend to do it fast. I think the children are going to lose their patience with me"
Karadi Tales Company’s Narayan Parasuram hope the story audio book will be a big draw with the children because of the celebrity factor. He also says that this audio book is also for child especially to homes where book reading does not exist.
And they state that Shahrukh Khan will going to be reading next.

Konkona in Koffee with Karan
"Koffee with Karan" is one of my most favourite shows.It was a lot of fun; a lot of smiling and laughing and teasing. Konkona is on the show both first and second seasons.Moreover other celebrities discribe Konkon's names in Karan's famous "Rapid Fire". Especailly the greatest actress like Shabana Azmi even give the Answer that "Today Finest Actress in Hindi Cinema" is "Konkona Sen Sharma".You can watch this here.
I am very glad for this answer.Konkona is not loyal beauty but her talatent is amazing as an actress.
Moreover we can see the promos of ''Laaga Chunari Mein Daag'' on Yashraj Website.I expected she can do very well in this movie with her power .
