Koko gets train-ed beau Ranvir

The actress boarded a Churchgate-bound local along with beau Ranvir Shorey to beat road traffic

You'd think the last time Konkona Sen Sharma saw the inside of a local train was during the shooting of her first Hindi film Page 3. And you'd be wrong. The actress recently boarded a Churchgate-bound train from Goregaon to avoid spending hours travelling by road.



And away we go!
The train yatra was for the benefit of her cousin Diya who's was visiting her in the city. Ranvir Shorey and a common friend, Niranjana, accompanied the girls.

The actress talks about her chosen mode of transport on that day, "We took the train from Goregaon to Churchgate. My cousin Diya who's from Kolkata often stays with me when she's in town. This time around she got a bit hassled due to the city traffic. So we decided to take the local train and travel to town. When Ranvir heard about it he too decided to join us and give us company. It was good fun."

Not mobbed
When asked if she was mobbed, she says, "No, I am not the sort to get mobbed. Also, I was looking like a ragged doll that day so I doubt anyone would have recognised me. There were a couple of people who walked up to me and asked if I was Konkona. However, I feigned ignorance and told them I wasn't her. Others, I couldn't fool so easily so I gave them autographs and clicked some pictures."

Was convenient
Koko adds that it was a one-off thing and that she hardly uses public transport to get around in the city. "Its just a matter of convenience to take the train since it puts you ahead of the traffic. But I haven't used that means of transport much."
