Kalki Koechlin shares that she has been stopped from entering award functions due to her car
It was in 2024 when there were a lot of debates happening related to the entourages of stars. During a recent interview with Aleena Dissects, Kalki revealed how stars take extreme measures to keep up with their public image and also shared how she was stopped at an award function just because of her car. Kalki revealed how she had to take the pressure of maintaining a glam image and due to this, she could not adhere to the rules that literally cost her a price at the gate. In her words:
“For years, I arrived at the Filmfare Awards in my Swift, and my dress would be bigger than the car. People would stop the vehicle and wouldn’t let it enter the venue, and then I had to show my invite and say, ‘It’s me.’ That’s just who I am — I value freedom and everything else that comes with it. I don’t want that kind of lifestyle because I want to be spontaneous.”
Kalki also shared that opportunities come less when one does not have an entourage, as there is very little chance of being spotted and only one gets followed by a few people. Kalki also revealed that she has issues at the airports as she dedicates 1.5 hours at the airport to her fans, as they want back-to-back selfies.
