Short Take

Kalki Koechlin

Contextualize yourself in one line?
I’m motivated by the fact that there is always room for improvement and reassured by the fact that I’m not that important.

First memory of performing?
I was a black sheep in the nativity when I was about seven, should have known then that I was going to be the odd one out!

What is one of the most important qualities that an actor should have?
The capacity for rejection.

Freedom for you means?
Being present in every moment, never wishing to be anywhere else.

We know our senses are very limited, yet we are always engaged in trying to define things in life. Most importantly, we are trained to understand only through the process of defining, even though life is in constant transformation.
