Summary
- Kalki Koechlin battled insomnia for months due to heartbreak.
- Lack of sleep affected her daily routine and work performance.
- She struggled to distinguish between dream and reality for four months.
Kalki Koechlin recently disclosed a challenging period in her life marked by prolonged insomnia, a direct consequence of heartbreak. This distressing phase lasted for several months, significantly impacting her overall well-being.
Speaking on a podcast, Koechlin described how emotional pain manifested as physical distress, specifically sleepless nights. She recalled waking up at 2 or 3 AM, unable to fall back asleep, and trying to occupy herself by playing the guitar. This continued for approximately four months.
The actor noted that the persistent lack of rest began to blur her perception of reality, making it difficult to discern wakefulness from a dream state. This confusion permeated her daily routine and work life, underscoring the profound impact of mental health on bodily functions.
Koechlin, who was previously married to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, later found a partner in Guy Hershberg. They welcomed their daughter Sappho in 2020. Her last film appearance was in 'Goldfish' last year.
