Konkona said that she "had the best kind of nepotism in a way". “Today, I realise it was a dream to work with my mother. In terms of nepotism, which is such a hot topic now, yes, I have had the best kind of nepotism in a way. I have had so much privilege and so much luck that it wasn’t that I wanted to become an actor. I didn’t. My mother had no plans to launch me,” she said.

She also talked about working in the film Mr and Mrs Iyer. She added, “My mother was writing Mr And Mrs Iyer on her desktop, and it used to be in my room. She would read it aloud to me, and it was all from my expressions that she felt I should play this part. A lot of the time, I don’t get dragged into this nepotism. Do I think it is unfair? Yes, it is unfair, but it happens everywhere. I would always like to acknowledge my luck and privilege in this situation that I got to do Mr and Mrs Iyer as my third film.”
