Exclusive: Kalki Koechlin: “I Was A Nobody In My First Marriage While Anurag Kashyap Was Big And It Was…”

Actor Kalki Koechlin has always been the one to break stereotypes. Whether it is breaking the stereotype of being a conventional Hindi heroine or talking about her experiences after motherhood, she has been transparent about her experiences and inspiring other women. In an exclusive interview with Hauterrfly’s show In Bed With Shenaz in  Hyatt Centric, the Dev D actor opened up about her thoughts on navigating intimacy after a baby, dealing with an ex, and much more. Koechlin also spoke about her experiences being the less famous one when she first got together with director Anurag Kashyap.

Kalki Koechlin On Anurag Kashyap

In the recent chat, Kalki Koechlin was asked if a man could be threatened by a woman’s success. To this, the actor said, “Obviously, almost always. I think when he’s successful it’s easier, but it’s very rare to find a man who is comfortable with you travelling a lot, being busy, being selfied while he is sidelined.” Koechlin then wondered how she would be if the tables were turned. She said, “I actually was in that position in my first marriage. In the start, I was a nobody and Anurag Kashyap was so big and I was always on the sidelines and it’s not easy.

The actor continued by saying, “I was a lot younger back then and I was finding it difficult. I always wanted to run away with him to go to inaccessible places. But now, I think I’ve accepted that it’s a part of life and now I’ve become very private about my life, earlier I was like an open book and very innocent on how the media functions.”

Talking about her present partner she revealed, “I have to give it to my partner because he is so chilled out and that is one of the reasons I fell for him. When we met, he didn’t know who I was because he was from another country and back then it was a clean slate. He gets very defensive, one day, his cousin came over and said you know she’s a Bollywood actress and showed by Instagram and he said put that away, it’s so vulgar. He said that’s not why I love her. And even with selfies today he is very patient and chills.”

Well, we are very happy that Kalki Koechlin is very happy with her partner and that they have a very beautiful child together!
