Mumbai: National award winning actress Konkona Sen Sharma says that she will continue to act in English and Bengali films as she feels that acting in Hindi cinema alone is not everything.

 
"It is based on one short story that my father Mukul Sharma wrote in 1975. It was a three-page story. It is wonderful and special to work in a film written by my father. He developed the screenplay with Vishal," Konkona said.

Konkona, who married actor Ranvir Shorey in 2010, was away from screen as she is occupied with her baby boy.

"I had a baby and that is pretty time consuming. Then I started working last year. I did three Bengali and two Hindi films and they will be released gradually," the actress said.

Konkona said motherhood has not changed things much for her.

"I have been the same human being with same value system, likes and dislikes. I guess more or less I am basically same. But, I have become more patient," she said, adding that striking a work-life balance with a baby around is a challenging task.

"It is quite hard to juggle between the two for working mothers. But it is hugely rewarding as the payback is massive and I don't have any other way," she said.

Konkana admires working women who strike a balance between work and life.

"I have learnt to appreciate more working mothers because millions of women are doing that including my maid who does not have the resources which I do. My admiration for working women has gone up," she added.
