What an absolutely memorable year 2019 is turning out to be for actor Kalki Koechlin, both professionally and personally. On the work front, her film, the Zoya Akhtar-directorial Gully Boy, was a massive critical and commercial success and is now officially India's entry to the Oscars 2020. On the personal level, the actress revealed in an interview with Hindustan Times' HT Brunch that she's five months pregnant with boyfriend Guy Hershberg and is soon expecting their first child.

Talking about her opinions on motherhood and how they have changed over the years, the actor says, "I don't know when my notions began to change, but I knew that after the breakup of my marriage with Anurag [Kashyap, film director], I had come to revisit many ideas. Motherhood began with my brother, who is much younger than I am. I remember watching him come home from school one day, he must have been seven or eight, and with a project on climate change and thinking 'this is such a renewal of innocence'. Children take us back to the basics; remind us of what is important. Also, just wanting to experience pregnancy, of feeling this life grows inside you."
