Don t know if I fit in: Kalki Koechlin

Mumbai Oct 25 (IANS) Actress Kalki Koechlin says she is least bothered about whether she "fits in" Bollywood as she is highly passionate about the creative process of a film.

Asked if she feels that she has "fit in" in Bollywood Kalki told IANS here: "I think I find my place in Indian cinema. But if you have asked me about such a thing I don t know if I fit in... or I am a misfit because I am not concerned.

"I am not bothered about how many parties I attend or the number of invitations coming in. I work and that is something I am passionate about. It s my indulgence in characters that will drive me to do a lot of homework and a story that will intrigue me to the core."

"Dev D" "That Girl in Yellow Boots" "Margarita with a Straw" and "A Death in the Gunj" are some of the unusual films that Kalki has done.

What sets Kalki apart is also how she openly praises other actresses. When Kalki s "Waiting" had a clash with Radhika Apte s "Phobia" she was generous in lauding the latter s work

"Yes because I find talent sexy. If you have watched that film you know the whole film was based on nothing but her performance. Then why not? She is a brilliant actress. You know every Friday so many films are releasing but not all the film create an impact in your mind. So I get excited to see good cinema. I thank people who are creating good cinema."

As the style of storytelling is changing and filmmakers are experimenting with subjects Kalki said: "The practice of offering more choices to the audience is great.

"You I as audience love watching romantic comedies and comedy. At times I enjoy watching documentaries. The good thing is filmmakers understood that choice is a luxury and we want more choices more variety of films. So this is the exciting phase in our cinema."

Kalki s next "Ribbon" releases on November 3.
