Konkona happy for being offered roles on Tagore's work

Konkona happy for being offered roles on Tagore's work

Kolkata: Actress Konkona Sen Sharma said she is grateful and happy for receiving roles based on the work of Rabindranath Tagore.



Konkona would be next seen in "Sajarur Kanta", where she otherwise plays Deepa in the film, but takes on the role of Nandini from Tagore`s classic play `Raktakarabi` as member of a theatre troupe staging the play.

"It gives a high to me," the award-winning actress, 34, said while speaking on her character Nandini of Tagore`s `Raktakarabi`.

"I am happy that characters with Tagorean references are coming my way a lot more these days," she said.

Earlier, she played `Kadombori` in Tagore`s much-acclaimed work "Sesher Kobita". Recalling how she grasped the typical Tagorean touch in the dialogue of Nandini, Konkona said, "I found the parts a bit difficult. But the workshop with Sohag Sen (theatre personality) helped as I worked towards perfecting the lines and nuances and memorised the words."

"I have to become the Nandini of `Raktakarabi` as people have certain perceptions about her, while Labanya is also a well-known character in `Sesher Kobita`. So though it is a challenge to live upto the perceptions, my portrayals are based on my understanding and homework," Konkona said.

She acknowledged the role of her mother (Aparna Sen) in helping to get a grip on the character Nandini. The director of the film, Saibal Mitra, said Konkona`s Deepa in `Sajarur Kanta` is a vital cog in the crime thriller with a romantic angle.

Konkona, who was the female lead in "Page 3", said she was fine with all kinds of films and acknowledged the fact that she had been offered interesting projects in Bengali.

Actor Dhritiman Chatterjee of Satyajit Ray`s `Pratidwandi` fame, enacts the 60-plus Byomkesh Bakshi in the film, which is set in present day Kolkata.

Salman Khan's 2002 hit-and-run case: Witnesses depose in court

Salman Khan's 2002 hit-and-run case: Witnesses depose in court


New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's troubles seem to be a never ending saga. The re-trial of actor's most infamous 2002 hit-and-run case started Monday in the Mumbai sessions court. The trial began with a number of witnesses deposing before the court. However, the actor himself was missing from all the action.



One of the first witnesses to depose in the court, Samba Gowda, said he had drawn panchnama of the articles seized by police on the day of the incident on September 28, 2002.

The witness told prosecutor Jagannath Kenjalkar that it was a big car involved in the accident and said police had reached the spot along with him. He further said the car had rammed into a laundry and its bumper had hit the shutter of the shop. The witness said he saw glass pieces, number plate of the car and bumper parts lying on the spot. These articles were seized by police and a panchnama was drawn by him.

"I can identify the articles collected by police from the place of accident," said Gowda, who hails from Karnataka.

Two more witnesses were discharged as they had admitted the panchnamas drawn by them.

According to the public prosecutor, although a list of 64 witnesses has been submitted by the prosecution, it would not examine all of them.

Earlier, the case was deferred by the court till April 28th, 2014 as the prosecution sought time to produce witnesses in view of police deployment on election duty.

Sessions Judge D W Deshpande had asked the prosecution to produce on April 28 the first witness who was injured in the mishap in which the actor was involved, followed by eye witnesses in May.

On March 26, three witnesses failed to turn up as they were either not available or untraceable making this the second occasion when the fresh trial has not begun in the case.

The Bollywood superstar is facing the charges of running over his Toyota Land Cruiser on people sleeping on a footpath outside a bakery in suburban Bandra on September 28, 2002, killing one and injuring four others.

Since "Aamir", the 38-year-old has not done too many movies because he feels that one needs a lot of patience to do his kind of cinema that also includes titles like `Shaitan` and `Table No. 21`.

He said: "The kind of films that I do one needs a lot of patience and will power. You should not get tempted. I don`t want to go wrong in a hurry.

"The kind of films that I want to do is different and the scripts for those kind of films are not written often. Now things are changing and I hope in future I would get to do more films of my kind."

His next is `Samrat & Co` and he had to come out of his comfort zone to play a detective in the thriller coming out April 25.

"This was out of my comfort level. I have never played such a character ever. It was a challenging role for me. They have written altogether a separate script for `Samrat...`"

Directed by Kaushik Ghatak and produced by Rajshri Productions, "Samrat & Co" features Madalsa Sharma as the female lead.

Cameron Diaz grateful to ex-boyfriends

Cameron Diaz grateful to ex-boyfriends
Los Angeles: Actress Cameron Diaz is grateful to all of her ex-boyfriends and thinks they helped her to get to know herself better.

The 41-year-old movie star, who previously dated Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto, Matt Dillon and New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez, has learnt a lot from them, reportedly.

"I`m grateful for all of it--whether it was something quick and passing or something that lingered too long. There is not one thing I`ve been through that hasn`t been a lesson that led me to this moment, and I can`t believe how great life keeps getting," Diaz said.

The blonde beauty is currently single and doesn`t think women should feel under pressure to get married.

"A lot of people chase after it because they`ve been told, `This equals happiness.` They chase it, they get it, and they find out, `Why did I think this was going to make me happy? I`m miserable!` I don`t know if anyone is really naturally monogamous. We all have the same instincts as animals. But we live in a society where it`s been ingrained in us to do these things," she said.
