Konkona Sen Sharma has made a distinct mark not only as an actress but also as a director. She directed the film 'Death in the Gunj' in 2016 and was also the co-director for 'Lust Stories 2'.
Entertainment News: Bollywood's versatile talent, Konkona Sen Sharma, is no longer limited to acting alone. She has established a distinct identity as a director alongside her acting career.

Not Acting in the Show
Konkona Sen Sharma also clarified that she will not be acting in this show. She said, "I don't think I'll be working as an actress in this project. I have many talented artists who can do it better. Why should I make it difficult for myself? It's often seen that artists write and direct their own work. "
