On World Disability Day, we rewind to a chat between actress Kalki Koechlin and disability rights activist Malini Chib, where they get talking about the special bond that they share in this exclusive tete-a-tete. Both Kalki and Malini were actively involved in the making of Sonali Bose’s Margarita With A Straw.
Malini Chib is also the author of One Little Finger, her personal tale of living a life with cerebral palsy. The book was written over two years as Malini could type only using her little finger.
Kalki and Malini developed a close bond during the making of Margarita With A Straw and inspired each other in equal measure. Kalki’s character in Shonali Bose’s film is hugely inspired by Malini and her zest for life.
Malini and Kalki’s big message is - Differently-abled people have regular physical and emotional feelings, so #FreeYourMind!
