Konkona Sen Sharma, Amol Parashar soft-launch relationship on his 40th birthday

Actors Konkona Sen Sharma and Amol Parashar, who have long kept details of their personal lives private, shared a joint Instagram reel on Thursday to mark Parashar's 40th birthday. The post, featuring playful banter and comic timing, has drawn widespread attention as a subtle soft-launch of their relationship.Set to the track Bad Times, the video was captioned "HBD AP (sic)!" by Sen Sharma, alongside text on the clip that read: "When it's his birthday and he doesn't want to do anything!" The actor also posted a wish on her Instagram Stories, writing, "Happy birthday Besharam (sic)," referencing Parashar’s live show Besharam Aadmi.The pair reportedly began dating after co-starring in a 2019 romantic film on Netflix, though both have consistently refrained from publicly defining their relationship. Addressing the speculation in an interview with The Times of India last year, Parashar remarked that their bond was "for us to worry about.""We had a great time working together. That's why we're still friends," Parashar said at the time, acknowledging that while he previously preferred keeping his personal life separate from his work, he came to accept public curiosity as a "natural progression of fame."Speculation was similarly sparked last year when Sen Sharma attended the premiere of Parashar's comedy series Gram Chikisalay. However, Parashar later clarified to ETimes that her presence was simply part of a gathering of close friends and family rather than an intentional public statement.Meanwhile, Konkona will next be seen in the Netflix anthology series, Lust Stories 3. She will be featuring alongside actors Radhika Apte, Vijay Varma and Abhishek Banerjee in director Vikramaditya Motwane's segment of the film.Lust Stories 3 brings together four distinct short stories helmed by directors Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra, and Vishal Bhardwaj, and is set to premiere on Netflix on 18 September 2026.- EndsPublished By: Anurag BohraPublished On: Sep 18, 2026 01:36 IST
