Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin has kept mum all this while about the sidelining of Pakistani actors in Bollywood.
“I don’t want to add fuel to the fire because this thing has been going on for a long time. I personally think that we live in an international world and we have Indians living all over the world. If we asked all those NRIs to come back to India, then we would have nowhere to put them,” Koechlin said.
“So, similarly, if there are guests from other countries living in our country, myself included, who is of French origin but born and bought up in India, where do I belong? If I don’t belong in this country, then I don’t know where I belong to. So, I think it’s very important to understand that,” she added.
Post the Uri attack, tensions between India and Pakistan have taken an ugly turn, following which a debate has raged on whether Pakistani actors should be banned from working in India.
Meanwhile, the actress, who is also associated with online home decor magazine Beautifulhomes.com, which launched on Wednesday in Mumbai, says she loves Sussanne Khan’s house.
“I think she has a natural eye for things and she has a airy-fairy quality also. She has these little details like garden gnomes, fairies which I really find quirky and nice.
“This is my first association with beautifulhomes and I just bought a beautiful home myself this year. For the first time I have a house of my own and its a very exciting thing, of course, and I think what is great about beautifulhomes.com is that they make it very personal, they really work towards getting your home as per your personality, and its affordable for the common person. It’s a one point stop where you can do everything”.
