New Delhi: Actress Kalki Koechlin says film industry needs to widen its vision as far as the definition of beauty is concerned. The 32-year-old “Margarita with a Straw” actress thinks there is always a stress to look a certain way in the industry which affects young girls to the extent that they end up making changes in their looks.
“The pressure of looking good is very difficult for us to handle. But, we do have examples of unconventional beauties. I I feel we need to celebrate diversity of beauty in the industry and understand that there is not really one idea to it,” Kalki said in an interview.
The National award-winning actress said she was also asked to work on her appearance but she always believed that her acting will do the talking. “I was lucky I lived my life before entering Bollywood. I also told to change this, change that, but I believed it is not going to affect me much in terms of my work. I feel my work is going to change who I am.” Kalki, however, loves to dress up and stay fit in real life. Kalki, who is getting a lot of praise for her performance in “Waiting,” will next be seen in Konkona Sen Sharma’s directorial debut “A Death in the Gunj”. The actress is excited about the project as she feels Konkana has done a great job in her first film.
