Bubbly actress Kalki Koechlin, who is known for speaking her
mind, tells one of the drawbacks of being a popular face is that people expect
you to take a stand on various social and political issues. She says people
should realize that celebrities can't be expected to be role models
and should only be appreciated for their craft.
"The biggest drawback is the idea that people think
that you always have an important comment on everything. For example, sometimes
people will ask me about some new law that has been passed or on surrogacy.
They don't understand that I need to do research on such topics to
comment," Kalki said in an interview here.
"The fact that we are supposed to comment on every
political and historical moment that has happened is very unfair. We are actors
and we are good in performing characters and imbibing them. We should be
appreciated for that. Of course, as an artist, there are certain things that we
might want to express more than others, but we cannot be the role models for
every subject," she added.
The 33-year-old is known for depicting unusual characters on
screen. She ventured into filmdom with the critically-acclaimed "Dev
D", where she played a young girl who ends up becoming a prostitute.
Later, she did films like "Shaitan", "That Girl In Yellow
Boots", "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", "My Friend Pinto",
"Margarita with a Straw", "Waiting" and more.
Kalki will be next seen in "A Death in the Gunj"
and she has also finished a web series titled "Smoke".
