Kalki Koechlin opens up about her character in 'Goldfish'
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,October 27 2022]
Gifted actress Kalki Koechlin is all set for the release of her upcoming film 'Goldfish'. Focusing on the theme of mother daughter relationship, 'Goldfish' will feature Kalki in the role of a half Indian half Brit woman Anamika and the actress feels that she was chosen for the part because of her half French half Indian background. For my character, one of the things I guess that made the director choose me was the cultural complication that I have while growing up with double culture, French and Indian, and not knowing where I belong, she told PTI.
Talking further about her character, Kalki said, That is very true for Anamika. She calls herself Anna because she rejects her Indianness, she is very British. But as the story progresses, she identifies with her Indian side through her mother’s struggle. Anamika’s journey is about finding her own identity as a mixed culture person.”
Kalki then went on to talk about how difficult it is to find good scripts to work on these days. She said, In the last six months, I have said no to seven projects. It is really rare to find something that goes beyond stereotype and something that has not been done before. It requires time to find those kinds of stories. I am glad I get to play diverse roles. I wait patiently for these types of roles. There are many times when they don’t come along and the waiting time is long. But, it is worth it to do something that challenges you.
