ꩲBollywood actress Konkana Sen Sharma has stated that she is not a believer in society's gender construct. The actor, who has portrayed a wide range of roles over her career, stated that bringing out a very feminine aspect in a role is also something she would have to mast🥂er.

Sharma describes herself as gender-neutral, as well as a little androgynous. Androgyny is when a person has both masculine and feminine characteristics. It can be represented in terms of biol😼ogical sex, gender identity, or gender expression.

In a conversation with Harper's Bazaar India, Sharma said, “I don’t view myself as a woman. I see myself as being completely neutral. Gender is a taught concept that I don’t relate to. Even when I have to be very feminine in a film, I have to learnꦚ how to. There’s no one way of being a woman or a man or anything in between... I’ve always felt a bit androgynous."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The actor also stated that she has always been fine with not fitting in since she was a child, owing to her parents' unconventional and🦄 liberal upbringing. ♕She claims that the uniformity makes her feel nearly claustrophobic. 

Sharma, who has an 11-year-old son named Haಌroon Shorey with her ex-husband, actor Ranvir Shorey, says she encourages her kid to be a freethinker while still practi🉐sing some kind of societal tolerance.
