As our November cover star, the talented actor-writer embodies the spirit of self-expression through fashion. For her, dressing is not just about aesthetics, but a personal dialogue that reflects her identity, personality, and purpose. Kalki's affinity for simplicity and minimalism has been a constant in her wardrobe choices. However, she's also quick to admit that stepping out of her comfort zone can lead to unexpected joys. Take, for instance, her striking yellow sari from a recent photoshoot. Initially hesitant, she discovered that it suited her perfectly once she put it on. This experience encapsulates her approach to fashion – embracing discovery and being open to new experiences.

From her fearless debut in Dev.D to her nuanced performances in Margarita With a Straw and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, she's consistently pushed boundaries and defied categorization. As an actor, Kalki credits theatre for teaching her discipline, adaptability, and the importance of using her instincts. "Theatre trains you to be present and true to yourself," she says. "It's a powerful tool that allows you to tap into your creativity and find authenticity in unexpected places.
