Initially she was reluctant to do it, but agreed after some persuasion.” Says Konkona, “I am nervous for sure. In fact, my first reaction was ‘No way’, but then when I saw Arshiya’s collection, I was really impressed and couldn’t refuse. I guess I should be able to do it, since I am just expected to be myself.”
