Sensationalism is Very Easy Reward, a Quick New Cycle Konkona Sen Sharma, one of the most celebrated actresses of her generation, has expressed her concern over the trend of sensationalising stories in the film industry. In an exclusive chat with The Hans India, she said that sensationalism has become a very easy reward for many and is leading to a quick new cycle. The actress who has been associated with several critically acclaimed films like "Mr. and Mrs. Iyer", "Page 3" and "Vicky Donor" among others, feels that this trend needs to be checked as it's harming the credibility of the industry. "I think sensationalism is a very easy reward for many people in the film industry. It's a quick new cycle, it gets a lot of attention and it sells. But I think we need to question why are we doing this? What is the value of what we are showing?" she asked. Konkona also expressed her disappointment over the way some films are being marketed these days. "I think we are losing that subtlety, that nuance in storytelling. We are getting into a mode where it's all about sensationalism and drama. I think that's not healthy for our industry," she said. The actress who has been part of many thought-provoking films also feels that this trend is affecting the kind of roles women get to play on screen. "I think we need to have more sensitivity, more nuance in storytelling. We are not giving ourselves a chance to explore these complex characters. It's all about sensationalism and drama," she said. Konkona Sen Sharma's views on the industry's trend towards sensationalism and its impact on the kind of stories that get told is a timely reminder for all stakeholders in the film industry to reflect on their choices and the kind of content they are producing.#Konkona_Sen_Sharma #Mr_and_Mrs_Iyer #Page_3 #Vicky_Donor #The_Hans_India
