Kalki Koechlin, a popular actor known for her remarkable performances in several hit films, has earned a dedicated fan base over the years. While she humbly acknowledges that she may not belong to the A-list league of Bollywood, her talent and versatility have made her a household name. Interestingly, Kalki reveals the irony of her life: despite her fame, she leads a simple lifestyle and often earns just enough to get by.
In an interview, Kalki Koechlin reflected on the contrast between her public image and reality. "People think I’m more successful than I really am. I’m famous, but I live a simple life, spending a lot of time at home, now in Goa, raising my child. It’s a choice—I focus on theatre, producing and performing for the love of art, not profit. People are often surprised to see me on public transport without bodyguards," she shared.
Since her debut in 2008, Kalki has starred in hits like ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, and ‘Gully Boy’. Yet, she admits theatre isn’t financially rewarding. "I sell tickets and fill houses, but just make enough to cover costs and pay my actors. There’s no profit," she added.
