In her close to 15-years-long career, Konkona Sensharma has mostly featured in projects which have pushed the envelope but the actor says there are still a very few people who are ready to back something unconventional. When the actor was offered to feature in the short A Monsoon Date, it gave her the opportunity to play someone she had never played before: a transsexual.

"I had never done anything like this before. That was a huge draw for me. The subject was dealt so beautifully, it was so nuanced, and was written with a lot of compassion. I was very lucky to be offered something like this because there aren't so many good offers that come my way," Konkona told PTI.
