Get to know... Kirti Kulhari
The actor and producer is a plant lady, a dedicated delegater, a fan of hot chocolate and a longtime fan of Mithun da. Who knew?
Currently, I am:
Excited about three projects that I have completed shooting this year: Khichdi 2, Hisab Barabar and Nayeka.
High point in life:
The success Pink in 2016. A lot changed for me professionally.
Low point in life:
Going through depression in 2009-10. But I started to rise again when my journey towards self-realisation began.
On my playlist:
You Get Me Rockin & Reeling from Billu Barber. Boondein by Silk Route. A podcast by Mooji, a Jamaican spiritual teacher.
On my speed dial:
Mitrayan, my closest friend and an important part of my team and company.
Today I’m craving:
Sugar-free hot chocolate.
Next big splurge:
Making a film, building a house.
The last thing I ordered online:
Planters for my many plants.
Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self:
Learn to love yourself first before seeking validation from someone else.
My secret skill:
I can remember the names of almost everyone on set.
A superpower I wish I had:
To have a dish ready as soon as I imagine it, so I never have to cook.
My favourite Sunday memory while growing up:
Watching Rangoli and Chandrakanta on Doordarshan, and having idli for breakfast.
My most star-struck moment so far:
Watching Mithun Chakraborty and Sangeeta Bijlani shooting on a Mumbai beach as a kid. I asked Mithun sir, for his autograph. Sangeeta Bijlani looked so beautiful!
My favourite bad habit:
Delegating the tasks I don’t want to do.
If I could travel back or forward in time:
I’d head back to an era of kings and queens and try to live like royalty.
A trait I despise in people:
Those who ramble instead of getting to the point. Ugh.
The best thing about fame:
People want to listen to what you have to say even if you sometimes do not make any sense.
The worst thing about fame:
It can lure you into believing in a false world. The bubble, when it bursts, lands you in the middle of nowhere.
