Amol Parashar addresses link-up chatter with Konkona Sen Sharma, says ‘people made it official’<\/p>\n

How Konkona Sen Sharma chose both her parents\u2019 surnames<\/p>\n

In a recent chat with Mid-day, Konkona, who carries both her parents\u2019 surnames, opened up about how she decided whether her son would take her long surname or her ex-husband Ranvir Shorey<\/a>\u2019s.She shared how her parents, Aparna Sen<\/a> and Mukul Sharma, gave her a choice as a child. \u201cI was probably 4 or 5 when they asked me, \u2018Do you want to be Konkona Sen or Konkona Sharma?\u2019 I thought, why not have both? I felt like if I picked one, either of my parents would feel bad. And then I had to live with this long name for the rest of my life. My college career, my entire school career, they would mispronounce my name. It has been quite a journey.”<\/p>\n

Konkona Sensharma grew up independent and self-reliant<\/p>\n

The ‘Talvar’ actress also spoke about her independent upbringing. \u201cI do use Sensharma as one word now, as it is easier and quicker. That is the thing about my parents and grandparents, they were very cool, they never infantilised me, and they treated me like a sovereign identity of my own.”<\/p>\n

How Konkona Sensharma and Ranveer Shorey decided on son\u2019s surname<\/p>\n

While Konkona uses both her parents\u2019 last names, her son Haroon<\/a>\u2019s surname is different. Explaining why she chose Shorey for him, she said, \u201cWe decided just to stick with Shorey. It didn\u2019t make sense to me. If I do Sensharma, it isn\u2019t my mom\u2019s maiden name. And if they wanted to take on the last name of the spouse, the name wouldn\u2019t end. Having done that to myself, I asked him if he could add a middle name if he wants later, but till then, let\u2019s just keep Haroon Shorey.”<\/p>\n
