Kalki Koechlin bares it all, says it's important to celebrate who you are and your body

A black and white nude picture with a caption 'love your nakedness', Kalki Koechlin has made a bold statement once again. The picture went viral with 14,655 likes but also with an equal share of trolls slamming her bold photoshoot. Comments like 'Indian culture ko barbaad kiya hai tum logon​ ne' and 'she's not an Indian' prove that many shy away from female sexuality.

Kalki is aware of these reactions and in an interview to Mid-day said, " As women, we often are depicted through a man's perspective, but this picture was clicked by a woman photographer. That's why I found it significant to share the photograph. Every celebrity on social media is aware of body shaming and trolls, even Kalki is aware of their existence and hopes to shine through unapologetic. The Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actress said, "I think it's important to celebrate who you are and your body rather than ponder about what the wold will think. I have always believed in the idea of wearing your personality on your sleeve. I have never been ashamed of whatever I do. "

On work front, Kalki has Jiah aur Jiah up for release. The film which also star Richa Chaddha in the lead is about two girls on a road trip. And all those who are wondering why the talented actress isn't seen frequently at the movies, the actress says, "I haven't got any commercial film which I think is important enough to do. I am not choosy, it is just an illusion people have. I have never been picky. Work takes time to come and good work takes even longer," Kalki said.
