Konkona in Sati

Konkona Sen acted with Shabana Azmi in Sati.

A fan, clearly excited, shared four screen grabs of Konkona from the film on X. One of the pictures had Shabana in the background. Along with the pictures, they wrote, “Omg you guys it’s Bébé @konkonas and the fourth picture is cinema herstory with two fabulous people in one frame.” Konkona, equally thrilled, re-shared the pictures and wrote, “Haha love this!! It’s from my mum’s film Sati with the legend @AzmiShabana.”

Based on a story by Kamal Kumar Majumdar, Sati tells the story of a mute Uma, played by Shabana, who’s married to a banyan tree because her ‘kundli (birthchart)’ suggests her husband would die. Aparna explored the story from a feminist perspective, as to how in 1828 this would mean that Uma would have to undergo sati if her husband dies. Arun Banerjee also starred in the film, apart from Shabana and Konkona.

Talking to Times Now last year, Shabana fondly recalled working with Konkona and said, “Reena (Aparna) and I go back a very long way. I gave her daughter the nickname Koko. She played my daughter in Aparna’s Picnic. Konkona was such a confident actor even as a child! And if you remember, she had a small role with me in Sati. I knew all along, she will be an artiste, nothing else.”

Konkona will soon be seen in Metro…In Dino, while Shabana will star in Bun Tikki.
