A number of films, including Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, and Page 3, elevated actress Konkona Sen Sharma to the top of the Indian film business. Due to the type of films she both stars in and directs, the actress who has been working in Bollywood and multiple languages is frequently listed as one of the top actors in modern parallel cinema. Konkona is now preparing for the debut of Mumbai Diaries' second season.
Konkona Sen Sharma offers insight
Aside from being a top-notch performer, Konkona Sen Sharma is also a successful director with a number of well-regarded and successful works to her name, including Lust Stories 2 and A Death In The Gunj. The actress talked about her experience filming it as she waits impatiently for the premiere of her upcoming online programme, which is scheduled to go live on October 6. It was Konkona's first time working on a movie sequel, and she said the experience was great. "This is the first time I'm working on a sequel of a show that has actually been really lovely," the actress remarked. It's like coming home, especially because you're just expanding the character rather than creating them from scratch.

She remarked, "As we had something to fall back on, it was wonderful joy shooting it too. My character in the series is a vulnerable woman trying to help Mumbai survive. Going further into it was a beautiful experience rather than just returning to that part of the programme or character.
The creators of Mumbai Diaries attempted to depict the challenges encountered by the personnel at Bombay General Hospital following the city's terrorist assaults in 2008 with the first season of the show, which was published back in 2021. After two years, the medical drama's second season's teaser was released. Along with Konkona, other actors who appear in the Nikkhil Advani-directed series include Shreya Dhanwantary, Natasha Bharadwaj, Satyajeet Dubey, Mrunmayee Deshpande, Parambrata Chattopadhyay, and Ridhi Dogra.
Nikkhil had previously discussed the show, saying that after the first season, the stakes needed to be raised for Mumbai Diaries 2, which "explores the trials and triumphs of our frontline workers and the heroes of the medical community."
