Kalki Koechlin finds Konkona Sen Sharma inspiring.

Speaking about her relationship with Konkona, the Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) actor says, “I have a bit of a crush on her son Haroon. He is so cute. Konkona and I have a growing relationship. We first acted together in ETD and later, she directed me in her film, and now we will work in a film together as co-actors again. We have a good relationship. We hang out socially once in a while. She is someone who is very precise while working on her characters, acting and direction. I find that inspiring.”

Kalki admits that her style of working is different from that of most people and includes preparation as well spontaneity. She says, “I like to prepare well and work on my diction and pronunciation. I feel that it is important to improvise on the spot, as once you get to the location, things might not be as you imagined them. Many times, you have to change the way you thought you were going to do a scene. It is important to be very prepared yet be ready to improvise.”

Kalki and Konkona have worked together in three projects.

Kalki is busy shooting a web series currently.
