Kalki Koechlin: I've always talked about what I believe in

It was Kalki Koechlin's first time on stage in Lucknow last Thursday and she was thoroughly impressed with the audience. "It's true, as they say - the nawabi andaaz, you know. It showed in how patiently the audience sat and watched the play . And I tell you, it's not a very easy play to follow," said Kalki.

FINDING HER OWN VOICE
Known to voice her opinion and her concern for women, Kalki says it's because she feels very strongly about such things. "I guess it's part of my expression as an artiste, as a person. I became an actor because I find it interesting to understand people and to express better what it feels like and to go through different emotions.So, an extension of that, is to express my own opinions and my own points of views and my own beliefs. And I think that naturally comes out in an artist. I've always talked about what I believe in. Not everyone has always paid attention before but now they are paying attention, which is a good thing," she says with a laugh.

Kalki has also supported her Bollywood counterparts who participated in the AIB Roast. "Just a bunch of comedians who I've watched for last two years in Mumbai doing very similar stuff and nobody has ever complained. It's only because they did a grand show with Bollywood actors and also made money out of it, that now people are starting to give them trouble. I feel freedom of speech is extremely important for civilised society and what makes a society civilised is our differences, and our tolerance of those differences, and living together peacefully despite having differences. See, it's very important that even if you might not like it and you might not choose to watch it, but something like this should be allowed to exist. You don't like it, don't watch it."

Remind her that they also made fun of Anurag Kashyap, and Kalki smiles and brushes it off by saying, "I think people have always criticised Anurag's work but he's like a bull and he keeps going at it. And he doesn't shy from any subjects. So you know, he's great! In fact, he thoroughly enjoyed the show."

NOTHING NEW TO TALK ABOUT

Not willing to say anything related to her personal life, Kalki makes it very clear why . "When there is something to say, I will say it. What I don't like is repeating the same thing and dragging the same thing on and on. People know me and Anurag are divorced. I mean, we're not actually divorced, but we're not together for the last one year.So, let's move on. If I have something new to tell, I will tell na!" she reiterates.

LOOKS NO CONSTRAINT ANY LONGER

In one of her earlier interviews, Kalki had said that she felt her looks are a constraint for her to be cast as a typical Bollywood heroine. But after films like Shanghai, Shaitaan, Ek Thi Daayan and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, does she still feel the same?

"Yes, I think everybody has their constraint according to how they look, where they come from, the way they talk, everything. So, you have to work within those boundaries, to a realistic level. But luckily , there's been enough work going around, even for me," she laughs.

Kalki has several interesting projects in hand. "I'm doing a film called Love Affair , which is Soni Razdan's film. She's directing it. It's a fiery, woman oriented kind of production, the kind that I love, after Dibakar Bannerjee's films, of course. He's my favourite," she smiles, adding, "Then I have a film called Mantra, which is by a new director."

WRITING FOR THE SOUL

A prolific writer, Kalki says she is always penning something or the other. She was one of the co-writers of the play Colourblind, that she acted in in Lucknow. "I keep writing here and there. I keep performing monologues. I will soon be performing this new stuff that I have written, then I've also written a new play." But she says she has no plans of writing a Bollywood movie yet. "For now, my writing will be confined to theatre because cinema is not a medium which I know very well in terms of visuals - how the camera will be placed, where will the lighting be. I'm not technically sound as far as filmmaking is concerned or as in my case, film writing goes. I might be good at writing dialogues, conversa tions, but a whole script, I don't know. Not in the coming days."

HINDI HAIN HUM

Mention about her having brushed up her Hindi and she smiles and says "Pata nahi. Kaafi sudhar gayi hai. The need of the hour. Dekhte hain, abhi aur bhi kaam ho sakta hai, in fact hamesha ho sakta hai."

The controversial 'objectionable' and 'abusive' words list directed by Censor Board Pahlaj Nihalani' has been reportedly put on hold. The new censor board which held a meeting decided to hold the ban on the 28-word list. 
On February 13, 2015, a letter by Pahlaj Nihalani directed its regional officers not to issue certificates to films which use these words, which are abuses in Hindi and English, and it has also been specified that double meaning words, violence against women and glorification of bloodshed should not be allowed. Queried about it, Nihlani had said that it was issued only to bring clarity, especially to filmmakers so that last minute cuts are avoided.
The communication, which was also marked to producers' association, came close on the controversy of Censor Board member Ashoke Pandit slamming the use of language by film personalities during a stand-up comedy show that became viral online.
Earlier, the Censor Board members had opposed the ban on 'abusive' words list and said that they were not involved in the decision making.
