Sharing a heartfelt post on Instagram, Konkona reflected on the year 2005, when ‘Page 3’ was released. “I can hardly believe ‘Page 3’ released 20 years ago! My first experience of filming in Bombay. This was 2005, the year of the flood and the year I moved to this city, which has now been my home for over two decades!” she wrote. Her post also captured the innocence and excitement of those early days, describing herself as “young, full of abandon, and free of expectations.”
