Konkona opens up on being a working single mother
In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Konkona Sen Sharma opened up about the idea of guilt that occurs in working single mothers. For the unversed, after her parent’s separation, Konkona was single-handedly raised by her mom, Aparna Sen. In fact, she too is a single mom, who has opted to co-parent her son, Haroon along with her ex-husband, Ranvir Shorey. Speaking along the same lines, the actress mentioned that the aspect of guilt always works in mothers mostly, and in the cases of her and her mother, the situation was no different. She mentioned:
“I think all working mothers are superheroes. Me, my mum, my bai, all of us are superheroes. I think a little bit of guilt comes with the territory of motherhood, unfortunately. I have been very lucky because I have had a working mother and largely a single working mother for my growing up years. So, I have always had the template of that and that’s my normal.”
