Debonair Personality

Actor Kalki Koechlin was born in a French family,she grew up without religion, with friends of different upbringing and spirituality. she was the person who spoke French at home, English at school and Tamil with her friends, this sort of exposure to diversity made her see the world as a beautiful place without a bias of the others. she was showcased as Chanda in Dev D which burst into our collective consciousness   has no sad or traumatic tales of racism to recount. she mentioned "The most important thing for an actor is spontaneity ,acting is reacting. A lot of actors don’t do that, they act in a bubble according to what they have planned."

she is an emotional actor and uses these physical and learned techniques only when she can’t get the emotions right.

she took six months of prep for Margarita with a Straw, Kalki spent that time with Malini, who has cerebral palsy and on whom the story is based. she said "It’s important to understand people’s daily life and their everyday frustrations." It’s this focus that made her interact with mothers when she had to do the role of a young mother juggling various aspects of home and career for Ribbon and how women juggle so many things, jobs and babies and husbands and household chores. she also experimented in movies like 'zindagi na milegi dobara', 'Dev D', 'Waiting', 'yeh jawani hai dewani'. 

This is a young woman who puts her heart and soul into each moment, even a question other actors usually want to brush off. Her parents separated when she was 13. After all these years, they are still not able to be friends

World’s Third Most Handsome Man on The Man Magazine (January 2017)

Non-stop shoots, prepping for his movie roles, endorsements, interviews and travelling to exotic places—there are no dull moments in the life of Hrithik Roshan and now he is on cover of The Man Magazine, January 2017 issue.

                      

 His earlier choices were defined by looks and commercial viability. He’d rather have been on the sets of a film that he thought wasn’t ten on a scale of ten, but was at least 7.5. He prefers being creative in other ways and doesn’t always run after career and money. He keeps himself enthusiastic and loves to be engaged in activities like painting, travel the world or anything that can drive him crazy.

He’s undoubtedly a perfectionist, but Hrithik Roshan at 42 figures he can survive a dud or two like Siddarth Anands action film Bang Bang with Katrina Kaif that tanked and Ashutosh Gowarikar’s exquisite, but deplorable Mohenjo Daro.

This year and some previous year have been harsh on the actor, who suffered a back injury and then had a brain surgery in 2013.

Right now Hrithik is at peace with himself and he feels centered and content. He is having fun boot camping with his boys, going on road trips, zip lining at 300ft in the air through forests, going for 4 a.m. safaris in Africa and sleeping under the stars in the desert. Hrithik Roshans son Hridhaan and Hrehaan, are fascinated by the thought of being actors. “I tell them it’s going to be their decision, but they are open to exploring the idea,” he reveals.

Hrithik in his upcoming film Kaabil plays a blind man and there’s tremendous pressure to make moviegoers choke on their popcorn, and it looks like stars will fall into places for him.
