Her much-talked about sense of humour is on full display. For the time being, since she is having two back-to-back releases, she feels like Akshay Kumar. A lot has happened in her life and career since then, but she is happy with how it has turned out. She doesn’t seem to have changed over all these years. She was chirpy, lively and vocal, as she is known to be, yet also much aware of the feelings of everyone working on the play. The first time I sat with Kalki for a long chat was way back in 2009-she was still high on the success of Dev D and was performing the play, The Skeleton Woman (which she had written and acted in). She rather gives a tight hug to one of the girls who looked really petrified. Probably, she understands the drill before a film’s release very well now. The team working on the promotions is a little worried that they have upset her by forcing her to do promotional videos, but she is calm. The critical or commercial failure of her last week’s release, Jia Aur Jia, doesn’t seem to have unnerved her. “Being a clown, keep talking, keep 's so depressing,” she animatedly tells me. She was recording promotional videos for the partner/associates of the movie-delivering scripted, promotional lines that she wasn't so gung-ho about-often making her displeasure clear to the film's team. "It's such a relief," she repeats before we sit down for the interview. "It's so nice to be in an old-fashioned, normal interview,” sighs actor Kalki Koechlin as she leads me to a quiet corner, away from the humdrum of the promotional activity for her next release Ribbon.
