August is the month to celebrate individuality, freedom and expression of self and spirit. And who better to look towards than actress and maverick Kalki Koechlin?
Kalki took to Instagram to post a stunning picture of herself on her Harley Davidson. She captioned the photo with 'My #MatchMadeinHeaven is all about freedom' - and we can see why! While other actresses are off doing glamorous photoshoots and promoting their projects, Kalki is enjoying her solo biking adventures and enjoying a true Taylor Swift-esque 'wind in my hair moment.' Biking brings joy and embodies freedom for this rider girl, and she is making sure to re-affirm it.

Kalki has expressed her love for bikes previously. Her father, Joel Koechlin is an avid biker and photographer -- and it seems like the same passion and love for adrenaline runs in the actress' veins. In 2016, Kalki and her father embarked on an completed an epic 4000 km bike ride across the Northeast -- all on their respective Royal Enfield Himalayan bikes. Talk about a free spirit!
Kalki will reprise her role as Faiza in the second season of Made in Heaven which will stream on Amazon Prime Video on August 10. She posted a photo of herself shooting for a film in Portugal and is hence missing out on the show's promotions.
Faiza is lead protagonist Tara's (played by Sobhita Dhulipala) best friend, who cheats with the latter's husband Adil. Faiza is shown to be a survivor of domestic violence and abuse - a native-born elite, she brilliantly performs a grey character, embedded in their own insecurities, loneliness and moral wrongdoings even as she naturally disguises herself into the upper echelons of society as a native-born elite and confident socialite. She objectively has everything one could desire, but she searches for something meaningful to hold onto under the slippery superficiality of a moneyed existence.
Kalki has been contesting celebrity stereotypes in more ways than one. In an exclusive conversation with Mashable India, Kalki candidly shared that she had previously been married to director Anurag Kashyap, and her current partner was not keen on the idea of marriage. They mutually decided against tying the knot, opting instead to live together as a committed couple. Following the birth of their daughter, Kalki and Guy settled in Goa, where they continue to reside.
Through her openness about her personal choices and the challenges she faced, Kalki Koechlin continues to inspire many with her unwavering commitment to living life on her own terms. As she awaits the release of Goldfish and the highly anticipated Made in Heaven Season 2, her fans eagerly look forward to witnessing her exceptional performances once again.
