Actor Konkona Sen Sharma criticizes Bollywood’s reductive LGBTQ+ portrayals, highlighting her Netflix film *Accused* as a step toward authentic, normalized queer storytelling.
Actor Konkona Sen Sharma has criticized Bollywood for consistently portraying LGBTQ+ characters only when their sexuality is a plot device or source of conflict, calling the industry’s representation reductive and stereotypical.
In her upcoming Netflix film *Accused*, she plays a London-based doctor in a same-sex relationship with her wife, portrayed by Pratibha Ranta, in a story that treats their relationship as ordinary rather than controversial.
The film, directed by Anubhuti Kashyap, aims to normalize queer identities by focusing on emotional depth and personal challenges rather than sexuality.
Sen Sharma emphasized the need for more authentic, inclusive storytelling that reflects diverse identities without reducing them to social issues.
The film premieres February 27, 2026.
