Konkona  wonders  how  people are going to  react  to  her pairing with  Ranbir  Kapoor  in  Wake Up, Sid.

"I’m getting to know Ranbir    a bit only now  after shooting for so many  months. He’s warm and  sweet  but  we both keep  in our own space.  He’s a very big star.  And  also a good actor.  But most impressive is  the fact that he   knows  everything  about cinema,and not just acting . In front of  him I  feel like  a novice.  Ranbir  knows  about camera  angles and all. In fact they even took his  suggestions   on camera angles.People want to see  how we  look together. We come  from different  genres  of cinema. "

Konkona  says  she  has no  aptitude  for  the technical  side.  "I’m an actor, and quite  comfortable in  that role.  I don’t think I’ve any  plans  of   directing  a film."

She’s all praise  for her other co-star  Farhan Akhtar too .

 "I’ve known  him  for a  while. It’s  hard to say  Luck By Chance  is his  third  film as an actor. He’s a natural."

Tabu was supposed to do Konkona’s role in  Luck By Chance, just like Konkona was supposed  to be the lead  instead of  Tabu in Mira Nair’s The Namesake.

Is  this  her way  of  getting even? "You’re investing  too  much power  into  the actors.  I had  heard Tabu was to  do  Luck By Chance . Even  Page  3 was offered  to   other  people. I was  just happy  to get both.Luck By Chance  is  such an intricately  written script. The film has a   lot  of  soul.  "

 Although  she  doesn’t like talking  about it her new  home done up  by the swanky  Pavitra Rajaram  occupies  much of her creative space these days. More so  since   she was down with a  viral attack which kept  her confined home.

"I  got   this viral flu on  the sets  of  Ayaan  Mukherjee’s Wake Up Sid. We were shooting in  a  closed  air-conditioned set  . And  when    one  person  got   the fever  so  did everyone  else.  We  had  to take a  few days  off. But I’m fine now.It’s basically  a  coming-of-age  story between   me and Ranbir. No  point in  shooting when   we’re not there. When you’re feeling sick you look sick on camera."

Early December 2008  Konkona  moved  into  her  new  house. "I was  dying to move in. It’s just  fifteen  minutes away  from  where I  stayed earlier. It’s  much   more spacious  and far  more organized.  In my head  I am still  living  in  cottages and  barsaatis. Even my earlier place  just had  stuff cluttured all over. Now I  was …. like  bowled  over because  I’ve a  real  dining table." - SAMPURN (Subhash K Jha)
