The picture was to announce her podcast “I’m pregnant!” — a special episode with the Bollywood actor and the presenter of the My Indian Life podcast, where the actress spoke about attitudes to unmarried mothers, the feeling that “I don't belong to myself”, caesarean births and more. In conversation with Iko-Ojo Mercy Haruna, Kalki spoke about morning sickness and said, "Nobody tells you how bad it is. I consider myself healthy but I found myself really struggling the first two months. I am first amongst my friends to get pregnant. I had to prod my mother a lot to get information about pregnancy."

She further revealed: "At the time when I was married, we didn't want to have kids because my ex-husband had a daughter. I was also ready to tie my tubes, that sure I was not to have kids. Something changed in my 30's and after my divorce (even before I met my present partner). Something internal wanted to have a child to the point where I wanted to freeze my eggs or think of adoption (if I didn't find a partner)." Talking about the online criticism, Kalki said, "I surround myself with unicorns and butterflies and don't read too many comments."
