"Anybody who has been in a long-term relationship, however good your relationship is, and you are genuinely in love, that magic changes. I wouldn`t say it necessarily fades, but something changes in the dynamic, especially in domesticity," she said.
The Wake Up Sid actress further added, "Like, living together is a great killer of romance; you are constantly worrying about the menu or the AC, children, the EMIs and the school fees. So, that is a challenge in long-term relationships. So, I can relate to that a little."
Konkona`s fond memories with Irrfan Khan
Konkona Sen Sharma also fondly recalled her experience working in `Life... In A Metro` alongside Irrfan Khan and called herself lucky to have worked with a legend like him.

"It was such a fantastic experience to work with Irrfan. I was so lucky to get to explore that with him. In this film, it`s a new character. But there are one or two scenes which have a certain kind of parallel with the first part. So, in the middle of shooting those scenes, suddenly it hit me when we were doing a similar scene. I also shared it with Anurag," she added.
Besides Sen Sharma and Tripathi, the romantic drama also features Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Ali Fazal in prominent roles.
Metro... In Dino saw a theatrical release on July 4.
