Fresh-faced and spontaneous, Kalki Koechlin is known for bringing a certain degree of panache to the roles she portrays, unconventional as they are. Born to French parents, the Indian actress says the more successful you are the more criticism you face.

Kalki stated: "The amount of criticism you get is directly proportional to how successful you are, especially as a woman."

"I think they should be very proud of themselves. They are doing incredible work. I have seen Deepika grow so much since she first came in the industry. Priyanka is killing it all over the world. They are confident enough to handle it sensibly," the actress also said.

On the criticism, she said, "Internet criticism... I don't handle. I ignore it. I don't read it. I don't respond. If I am getting very highly criticised I go off social media for a while. What's important for me is criticism from family and friends... they know that I have certain weaknesses or they recognise... that's a very Kalki thing to do. They know you."

"There are many, many roles that I would love to do. I love reading her (Sister Nivedita) and my mom has a lot of her books so I grew up reading her. I would love to do a historical film on that and I would love to do a biopic. I would also love to do an action hero kind of film. I just saw 'Wonder Woman'... why don't we have chicks who can do that here," she further added about her role.

Talking about Hollywood films, "If (filmmaker Steven) Spielberg calls me then I would not be checking my calendar."

"I am not going to drop everything to try and have a career there. I think it has to happen organically. So if a good opportunity came by, why not," she said.
