Konkona Sen Sharma on Bollywood's portrayal of queer characters: 'Derogatory Humour'

• Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Ranta star in Netflix's upcoming psychological thriller "Accused", directed by Anubhuti Kashyap and produced by Dharma Productions.
• The film explores accusation, belief, and loyalty under public scrutiny, featuring queer characters differently from traditional Bollywood films.
• Konkona notes that Bollywood often portrays homosexual characters only as an 'issue' or for 'derogatory humour', unlike "Accused" where it's not preachy.
• Pratibha highlights the film's realistic portrayal of a homosexual couple, focusing on trust and dedication rather than making it the central 'issue'.
• "Accused" delves into sexual harassment, gender conflicts, and queer relationships, set in London, releasing on Netflix on February 27.
