But these days, she is busy urging people to raise funds for the documentary, Azmaish Trials of Life, which features her. The documentary is made by Pakistani film-maker Sabiha Sumar of Khamosh Pani (2003) fame. It talks about the people of India and Pakistan, and how religion plays a huge part in their lives. Kalki and Sabiha travelled to both countries and explored the lifestyle and religious dynamics. "I met Sabiha two years ago at a film festival, and she was looking for someone based in India for a project. She is married to a Sri Lankan and has lived in India for over 10 years. She has seen both the countries from close quarters and loves them equally. It was a personal story for her to tell, I think. For me, doing this documentary was a curiosity because like most Indians, I also grew up with the idea of India and Pakistan in competition or conflict," says the Margarita with a Straw (2015) actor.
