So I enjoy social media for that,’ Kalki said. But the actress stressed that she knows ‘that not everything that comes out of social media is useful, helpful or constructive’.
On the work front, Kalki will be seen in the upcoming film A Death In The Gunj, Konkona Sen Sharma’s directorial which also features Vikrant Massey, Gulshan Devaiah, Om Puri, Tillotama Shome, Tanuja and Ranvir Shorey. (IANS)
