Asked in an industry that often rewards conformity, how has she stayed true to her artistic voice, Kalki told: “I think I get bored easily, so I constantly do things to entertain myself and keep myself satisfied. I've always found it important to balance routine, mind-numbing work with something that inspires and excites me.”
