Kalki Koechlin And Her 'Waiting'!

Everyone loves Kalki Koechlin. She might have had concerns regarding acceptance but clearly the film industry embraced her from her very first film. What’s more, the awards she has been garnering for Margarita With A Straw, has taken the love to another level. “The National award was like this tangible acceptance that I have been awaiting. It is like finally people have accepted me and my ‘desiness’; something that I have been harping about since the day I have ventured into films,” she shared.

Talking about waiting, here she’s back with yet another film which will endear her even more to your heart – Waiting. The film is about a young girl whose new husband has an accident that puts him in a coma. It is certainly the greatest nightmare for anyone who has ever loved, how tough was it coping with it in the film? “Yes, there is the portion when she first hears about her husband’s accident that has a lot of heightened emotions, be it fear, shock, denial... but at the end of it all, we are human and what is most important for us, is to have hope and I believe our film gives that. It is all about getting on with life and coping.”
