Actor Kalki Koechlin is back on the sets and running up a busy calendar. The DevD actor talks about how she got down to doing a photoshoot in less than a month after giving birth to her daughter Sappho.
The 37-year-old actor says, in Instagram post, “hardly slept, was tired, anxious and anti social” when she returned to work. Kalki narrated her experience of running to her van to feed her baby girl in between shots”.
“Shot in March 2020, 3 weeks after giving birth, one week before lockdown. I had hardly slept, was tired, anxious and anti social as I ran back to the van to feed my girl in between shots. Going back to work seemed like such a struggle after what my body had gone through,” she wrote in the caption.
Along with a picture from the photoshoot, the actor also wrote about her feelings right now in the Instagram post. Kalki mentioned that if only she would have been aware of the forthcoming lockdown, she would have “smiled more”.
“If only I'd known I was going to have to spend the rest of the year between four walls, maybe I would've smiled more at this last window of employment. But I guess the intense look of a woman who's going through a huge upheaval has its place too. I'm grateful now, for it all. The perspective that comes with time passing,” she wrote.
On gender-neutral baby name
Kalki had her first child with her boyfriend Guy Hershberg on February 7 last year. She chose a gender-neutral name, Sappho, for her daughter to let her child have the “freedom of movement”.
In an interview with Hindustan Times Brunch the actor mentioned, “I’ve chosen a name that works for either gender and that is representative of a gay person, because I want my child to have that freedom of movement under the many umbrellas of gender that we have.”
On the professional front, Kalki Koechlin was last seen in Paava Kadhaigal, streaming on the Netflix. She was seen as one of the protagonists in Vignesh Shivan’s short film, Love Panna Uttranum, alongside Anjali.
Kalki's next venture is titled Scholarship, directed by Raman Bharadwaj.
