Looks as if the political party that causes trouble, even for innocuous statements like addressing Mumbai as Bombay, has put the fear of God into Konkona SenSharma. At a press conference for her latest film Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge? the Bengali actress kept referring to Mumbai as Bombay, but then she would promptly bite her tongue and say, “Sorry, I stand corrected, I meant Mumbai.” She had to do that three times in one evening.
By the end of it all, it seems like good-natured Koko had bitten her tongue way too often. Ab kya kare? After her Wake Up Sid controversy, Koko isn’t looking for any more brickbats.
