Kalki
Koechlin
is
one
of
the
most
talented
theatre
and
cinema
actors
in
the
industry.
By
starring
in
films
like
Dev
D,
Shaitan,
Margarita
With
A
Straw
and
so
on,
she
has
always
strived
to
be
part
of
stories
that
push
boundaries.
But
even
an
actress
like
Kalki
has
gone
without
getting
work
for
months.
In
a
recent
interview
she
revealed
how
she
could
not
get
work
for
nine
months
after
the
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Deepika
Padukone
starrer,
Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani,
because
she
refused
an
indirect
proposition
by
a
producer.
She
also
recalled
an
incident
when
she
was
called
a
'Russian
prostitute',
after
Dev
D.
"I
have
literally
had
eight
nine
months
of
no
work
coming
to
me.
That
too
after
Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani," she
told
Pinkvilla.
Kalki
said
that
a
producer
blacklisted
her
because
she
refused
to
go
out
with
him.
"It
was
not
sexual
proposition
directly
but
indirectly.
A
producer
wanted
to
go
out
on
a
date
with
me.
I
said
no
and
he
never
got
back.
The
film
didn't
happen." she
said,
adding,
"I
have
undergone
sexual
abuse
and
I
opened
up
about
it
first
to
my
therapist
and
to
my
then
partner.
Later,
during
a
conference
that
Rahul
Bose
was
organising,
I
discussed
it."
She
further
said
that
sexual
harassment
of
women
is
not
a
problem
that
plagues
only
Bollywood,
and
recounted
an
incident
she
faced
in
Hollywood.
"When
I
went
to
Hollywood,
there
was
this
casting
agent
who
wanted
to
look
at
the
wrinkles
on
my
face
near
my
eyes,"
she
said.
Another
time,
Kalki
was
referred
to
as
a
'Russian
prostitute'.
"It
was
after
Dev
D
that
I
read
someone
had
said,
'Where
did
they
get
this
Russian
prostitute
from?' I
was
like,
hey
I'm
not
Russian,"
she
said.
Kalki
is
expecting
her
first
child
with
boyfriend
Guy
Hershberg.
On
the
work
front,
she
was
last
seen
in
Zoya
Akhtar's
Gully
Boy.
