Actress Kalki Koechlin, who is a French citizen, has proven her mettle in the Hindi film industry by giving us some power-packed performances. But she admitted that she had lost work because of her skin.

“Goldfish (her new release) was special because complex, layered, sensitive and funny scripts like that are rare,” she said.

“Anyway there are few roles for someone like me in the industry, since the colour of my skin limits my roles in Bollywood, and this being about the identity of a half-Indian, half-British was something I knew I was cut out for.”
