MUMBAI: Yeh Jawani hai deewani’s actress Kalki Koechlin finds Indians to be more secular than Pakistanis. Kalki has worked with a Pakistani filmmaker Sabiha Sumar on a documentary film Azmaish. According to sources, she has visited rural Sindh for the documentary and interacted with them regarding the current socio political issues. “Usually, we see the two countries through the prism of conflict. Or cricket, which is also conflict. With Azmaish, we try to understand India-Pakistan from a different perspective. It arises from the need to know this person across the border, without the media or the politics playing a role. It’s about what the common man on the street has to say,” she said. She voiced her opinion on the India-Pakistan relationship, focusing on the major difference that sets the two nations apart despite the similarities. “I realised that despite the obvious similarities in culture and language, India and Pakistan are vastly different nations. Both have glaring issues and need to look inward, rather than point fingers at each other. The project made us wonder if we are looking for a religious identity in India now, and what that did to Pakistan”, she stated. Kalki expressed about her experience in Pakistan, stating, “I met some girls in Pakistan who told me about their secret ambition of wanting to act when they grow up but how society wouldn’t permit. We met some feudal landlords in Pakistan, and one of them was very open to conversation despite the fact that we criticised him lot.”
