Asked if she agrees that the character Natasha Arora, who was emotionally sensitive and caring, was also controlling and insecure deserves a stand-alone movie, Kalki told IANS: "In terms of Natasha, I would love to make a film just about her. I wonder what would happen to her."

Kalki believes that Natasha should focus on improving her mental health.

She added: "I think maybe she should work on her mental health a little bit and find someone who genuinely cares about her."

Talking about the sequel to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Kalki said: "I don't know if there's a part two of 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.' I haven't heard about it personally, and I haven't received a script or anything yet.

"Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" is a road comedy drama directed by Zoya Akhtar. Apart from Kalki, the film also stars Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar and Katrina Kaif.

The film's story follows three childhood friends, Arjun, Kabir, and Imran, who reunite for a three-week road trip. They set off to Spain and meet Laila, who falls in love with Arjun and helps him overcome his compulsion to work. Kabir and his fiancee Natasha experience significant misunderstandings, while Imran wishes to meet his biological father, an artist.

Kalki was last seen in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, a coming-of-age buddy drama film directed by Arjun Varain Singh, in his directorial debut. The film stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, and Adarsh Gourav as three friends who navigate their goals and relationships against the pressures of social media.

Kalki Koechlin, Anya Singh and Rohan Gurbaxani appear in special roles.

Natasha was such a complex character! I'd love to see her journey of self-discovery. Kalki played her so well - you could feel her vulnerability. Hope this project happens! ✨

Interesting idea but I think the magic of ZNMD was the group dynamic. A solo Natasha film might lose that charm. Still, would watch anything Kalki does!

Omg yes please! I related to Natasha so much in college. That scene where she cries in the bathroom? Iconic. Would love to see her character development.

Respectfully, I think this might be stretching the ZNMD universe too much. The film was perfect as it was. Maybe focus on new stories instead of revisiting old characters?

Kalki is such an underrated actress! She brings depth to every role. Would love to see her take on Natasha's mental health journey - could be really powerful if done right.
