‘I get offers to play the sexy foreign ladki’

ForKalki, who studied drama and theatre at the University of London, the stage issomething she���s used to.
���I went to Bangalorelast year and acted in Ajay Krishnan���s Hair at Rangashankara,��� sherecalls. But, The Skeleton Woman is her baby. ���I���ve co-written theplay with Prashant Prakash. It has its origins in an Inuit folk tale I firstcame across at one of Anamika Haksar���s acting workshops.I did a couple ofscenes for the workshop and came back to it six or seven months later. Prashantliked the story too and wrote some scenes for it,��� sheexplains.
Kalki���s teamed up with Dev D director and boyfriendAnurag Kashyap for The Skeleton Woman, but insists his role is very minimal.���He���s the producer and has very little say in the play except wheremoney is concerned,��� she says. Was his theatre background of help to Kalkiand Prashant during rehearsals? ���Anurag knows how important creativefreedom is. He���s like that as a director too,��� saysKalki.
The actress is spacing out her film projects becauseshe���s being picky about the roles she wants to do. ���I get lots ofoffers to play the sexy foreign ladki, so I have to be careful about the work Ido,��� admits Kalki, ���It���s not like filmmakers are using foreignfaces in the most flattering way ��� whether it���s a sexy girl dancingin the background, or a shy girl like Giselle Monteiro���s character in LoveAaj Kal. That���s why it took me so long ��� I had to go for auditionsfor three years before I got anything that I felt was exciting. But good rolesare worth waiting for,��� she maintains.
