Kalki Koechlin on her character in the second season of Sacred Games and working with former husband Anurag Kashyap after a long gap
What was interesting about Batya, your character in Sacred Games 2?
I cannot reveal too much. But she is a very conflicted and lonely person in many ways. She comes from a broken family in France; her mother is Palestinian and father, Jewish. She runs away from home and finds herself in an ashram run by a guruji (Pankaj Tripathi). Her background drives her need for a religion and belief system because she has got no home and no base. That is key to her character’s development.
Could you identify with Batya since you, too, grew up in an ashram (Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Puducherry)?
