Actress Kalki Koechlin’s upcoming movie ‘Goldfish’ touches upon the themes of ageing and identity. However there is always a strange parallel between her films and her real life, reports Times of India.
In ‘Goldfish’, Koechlin plays a half-Indian, half-English woman called Anamika, who comes back home to the UK to deal with her estranged mother Sadhana’s (Deepti Naval) dementia and revisits memories of a troubled childhood.
The actress said she was able to instantly connect with the world of the English-language feature ‘Goldfish’ as she also has parents at home who are dealing with age-related health issues.
“I always feel there is a strange parallel between the films that I do and what I am going through in real life. My parents are getting a lot older. They are having a lot more ailments. It makes you more conscious, more aware of the time that you have with them, which is limited,” Koechlin told PTI in a virtual interview.
Working on ‘Goldfish’, directed by Pushan Kriplani, was an emotional experience for the actor as it reminded her of the equation she shared with her mother during her teenage years.
Koechlin, said the film offered her an opportunity to see both aspects of her life as a new mother and a more mature daughter.
“At the same time, I was a new mother myself. I was finishing 12 hours of shoot and going back home, breastfeeding and putting her to sleep,” added the 38-year-old.
‘Goldfish’, which received rave reviews at the 2022 Busan Film Festival, is slated to have its European premiere early next month at Raindance Film Festival in London.
