We were shooting in Spain, and people there didn\u2019t recognise <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/hrithik-roshan\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hrithik Roshan<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/katrina-kaif\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Katrina Kaif<\/a> that much, so it was quite casual. We\u2019d sit together at restaurants, and no one would disturb us.\u201d The realisation came later, she revealed, \u201cI only began to understand what was happening during the promotions. That\u2019s when it hit me. We went on mall visits and the crowds were insane\u2014that\u2019s when I realised how big this film really was.\u201d Audience saw Natasha as \u2018posh and Prada-wearing\u2019Natasha, Kalki&#8217;s character, was often perceived as controlling and elitist. Addressing how the audience responded to that role, she said, \u201cYes, of course, a lot of people thought I was very posh and always roaming around wearing Prada. Thank God Aditi came after that\u2014it was the opposite. Unfortunately, I\u2019m not that posh in real life. I don\u2019t have a \u2018bag with you\u2019 kind of lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kalki Koechlin says she underwent &#8216;lot of therapies&#8217; after divorce from Anurag Kashyap: &#8216;It hurts to know about&#8230;&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>She further elaborated on the challenges of portraying Natasha, \u201cIt was a difficult character to play. She\u2019s a big b*tch\u2014I love to say that. It was also irritating because the costume was so uncomfortable\u2014tight clothes, huge heels. Meanwhile, all the boys and Katrina were in their cool, breezy summer outfits just chilling, and I was sitting there sweating in tight denim.\u201dBut Kalki turned that discomfort into creative fuel, \u201cThose were the limitations of the character, but I used that frustration to fuel my performance. I\u2019d think, &#8216;Right now I\u2019m like this, I\u2019m jealous, I can\u2019t do what they\u2019re doing&#8217;\u2014and that\u2019s part of life, too.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kalki Koechlin recently revisited her experience working on Zoya Akhtar\u2019s cult classic Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), reflecting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105850,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,77,6999,48553,48552,48551,48550,28861,48549,16,15,48548,48547,48546],"class_list":{"0":"post-105849","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-hrithik-roshan","11":"tag-kalki","12":"tag-kalki-koechlin","13":"tag-kalki-koechlin-znmd","14":"tag-katrina-kaif","15":"tag-natasha","16":"tag-natasha-character","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom","19":"tag-zindagi-na-milegi-dobara","20":"tag-znmd","21":"tag-zoya-akhtar"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114516685232068040","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
