A Quote by Konkona Sen Sharma

It is true that there are some surface similarities between my mother and Mrinalini's character since both were successful commercial actresses in the 1970s in Bengali cinema. In that sense I have taken cues from my mother about how to portray the younger Mrinalini.

Some of the most successful, talented actresses of our generation, be it Julianne Moore, or Charlize Theron, or Charlotte Gainsbourg, or Isabella Rossellini, if you know your cinema history, have taken their clothes off.

If I were damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
