Kalki Koechlin‘s ‘Margarita With A Straw’ has bagged the best feature film honour at the recently concluded Washington DC International Film festival and has been loved by the audiences as well.
Talking about the intimate scenes in Margarita With A Straw, Kalki Koechlin who plays a cerebral palsy patient says, “I was super excited about showing my naked body! I was like, oh, don’t worry, I’m totally uninhibited — but on the actual day, on a closed set, with both my director and DOP women, I was so uncomfortable! So many people looking at you and you must repeat actions several times. That was really difficult…”
She further added, “For ten minutes, I was in shock! I went to boarding school with girls, having showers, practising kissing on our arms, so I thought, no big deal. But here, I was terrified! I felt like a virgin all over again.”
