Metro…In Dino: Konkona Sen Sharma breaks silence on comparison between Pankaj Tripathi & Irrfan Khan: 'I don't want to...'
Metro…In Dino, the spiritual sequel of Life In A Metro, released yesterday and opened to rave reviews among fans. While in the first part, the late Irrfan Khan was paired opposite Konkona Sen Sharma, in the recent release, Pankaj Tripathi has played the onscreen husband of the actress.
In fact, the makers paid tribute to Irrfan by retaining the same character name, Pankaj, in the sequel, which is now Monty, at Konkona's suggestion.

Now, the actress has reacted to the comparison between Irrfan and Pankaj and shared that the latter has done 'more than justice' to the character of Monty.
'Life In A Metro was 17–18 years ago. That time, Irrfan and I played Shruti and Monty. They were a much younger couple with younger concerns. Now, Pankaj and my characters are different. They are a much older, married couple with kids. They have jobs, EMIs, responsibilities,' Konkona told Livemint.
'They have a good marriage, but now it's becoming a little boring. I feel like it's with so many people… when you are in a marriage, you hope it's forever only. It's a long-term commitment. The nature of the relationship changes. Anurag has tried to explore that because love is not only when a girl and a boy meet. It doesn't end after that. We have seen love as such a vast, complex emotion throughout our lives, in all different forms. Pankaj and I are tackling it at a different juncture,' she added.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
Speaking about the comparison of her chemistry with Irrfan and now Tripathi, she shared, 'I don't want to think about it, honestly. Not in my hands at all. For me, there is no such thing because it's a very fresh thing. It's very new. If they were playing the same character or I were playing the same character, then yes… but there are so many new things this time.'

Up next, she will be seen in Vivek Soni's upcoming family drama 'Aap Jaisa Koi', which is set to release in a few days. Fatima stars opposite R Madhavan in the film, and she recently opened up about her experience working with him. She called him 'incredible', and said that he has been India's crush for many years. She also shared her admiration for director Vivek Soni. Fatima Sana Shaikh On Working With R Madhavan While speaking with Zoom, Fatima said, 'I'm very excited for Aap Jaisa Koi. It's a very sweet film. Vivek Soni is an incredible director—I think, out of the newer lot of directors, he is very talented. He's got a strong visual voice, and the moment you see his films, you instantly know it's a Vivek Soni film, and that is very special. Also, I love Maddy—he is incredible. He's been the country's crush for years now, and his smile is still the most beautiful smile of any actor, I believe. I really enjoyed working with him." Meanwhile, earlier, Fatima mentioned that she feels truly blessed to be a part of this film. 'I've been a huge fan of Madhavan, and getting the chance to share the screen with him was such a joy. Playing Madhu was incredibly special. We often associate strength and confidence with masculinity, but Madhu embodies these qualities with such softness and femininity… Through this film, I got to dive into different shades of love, and oddly enough, it felt quite therapeutic," she said. About Aap Jaisa Koi R Madhavan plays a 42-year-old man Shrenu Tripathi in Aap Jaisa Koi, while Fatima Sana Shaikh will be seen as Madhu Bose, bringing audiences a heartwarming family drama that celebrates connection, companionship, and the beauty of discovering 'Barabari Wala Pyaar' in the most unexpected circumstances. Set across the distinct worlds of Jamshedpur and Kolkata, the film follows Shrirenu, a man shaped by habit and tradition, as he begins to re-examine long-held beliefs about masculinity, companionship, and emotional expression. In Madhu, a spirited woman who refuses to shrink herself to fit societal moulds, he finds not just a romantic partner, but a mirror to his own conditioning. As the two navigate family expectations, emotional baggage, and the weight of societal conditioning, Aap Jaisa Koi becomes a story not just about romance, but about reclaiming a woman's agency. Produced by Dharmatic Entertainment's Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra, Aap Jaisa Koi will release on Netflix on July 11.
