Kalki koechlin on The Man Magazine December 2017

Debonair Personality

Actor Kalki Koechlin was born in a French family,she grew up without religion, with friends of different upbringing and spirituality. she was the person who spoke French at home, English at school and Tamil with her friends, this sort of exposure to diversity made her see the world as a beautiful place without a bias of the others. she was showcased as Chanda in Dev D which burst into our collective consciousness   has no sad or traumatic tales of racism to recount. she mentioned "The most important thing for an actor is spontaneity ,acting is reactingA lot of actors don’t do that, they act in a bubble according to what they have planned."
she is an emotional actor and uses these physical and learned techniques only when she can’t get the emotions right.

she took six months of prep for Margarita with a Straw, Kalki spent that time with Malini, who has cerebral palsy and on whom the story is based. she said "It’s important to understand people’s daily life and their everyday frustrations." It’s this focus that made her interact with mothers when she had to do the role of a young mother juggling various aspects of home and career for Ribbon and how women juggle so many things, jobs and babies and husbands and household chores. she also experimented in movies like 'zindagi na milegi dobara', 'Dev D', 'Waiting', 'yeh jawani hai dewani'. 
This is a young woman who puts her heart and soul into each moment, even a question other actors usually want to brush off. Her parents separated when she was 13. After all these years, they are still not able to be friends

Maurice Koechlin, one of the engineers who gave the world the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris, was her great grandfather on her father’s side. Her father, Joel Koechlin, makes hang gliders, but she hasn’t inherited anything technical from him.She inherited love for reading, writing and theatre from her mother and  love for biking and trekking and my sense of adventure.from father. She also showcased her love for biking and trekking in her recent T.V show  : Kalki's Great Escape telecasted on FOX life. she covered her  road trip with his father and explored breathtaking views of places in Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh, with the entire journey coming to nearly 4000 kilometers.
