Konkona Sen Sharma on playing queer doctor in Netflix's Accused: 'Not preachy or problematic'

• Konkona Sen Sharma portrays a queer doctor in Netflix's upcoming film Accused, accused of being a sexual predator at work.
• The film breaks away from traditional portrayals, not treating her character's sexual orientation as an 'issue' or source of 'derogatory humour'.
• Konkona highlights the lack of diverse representation in cinema, where 'default' characters are often straight, male, and Hindi-speaking.
• Accused features a homosexual couple, Geetika and Meera, but their relationship is depicted as real and not preachy, focusing on trust and support amidst accusations.
• Directed by Anubhuti Kashyap and backed by Karan Johar, the psychological thriller explores how public scrutiny and perception impact relationships.
