She also called the script "ungainly".[53] John Beifuss of the The Commercial Appeal lauded Koechlin's performance writing, "[Kalki] Koechlin delivers the type of performance that in a major movie garners Oscar notice like Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything but she's never a showoff."[54] Koechlin won The Best Actress Award at The Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and garnered a nomination for the Best Actress Award at the Asian Film Awards.[55]

All of it was unclear. Now, we are pretty clear that we are not going to be together. We have already applied for divorce and will get it soon."[77][78]

Post the separation Koechlin in an interview with Daily News and Analysis said, "[But] everyone has doubts, we're all human. Even as an actor, you have days when you haven't slept enough, you don't feel like you're good enough or pretty enough. But ultimately, it's all about attitude. You must live with a little abandon and not be self-conscious. You ought to stop staring at yourself in the mirror, and just smile a little!"[79]

Koechlin has been a part of a variety of awareness campaigns, humanitarian work, and is vocal about women's equality and empowerment campaigns. She has actively participated in the P & G Shiksha campaign for educating kids living in rural parts of India.[80][81] Koechlin participated in the Mumbai Marathon a charitable event, aimed at spreading awareness regarding education, health issues like cancer and AIDS, senior citizen welfare among others.[82] Koechlin was accompanied by Shonali Bose's cousin Malini Chib, a cerebral palsy patient, who was largely the inspiration behind her film Margarita with a Straw.[83][84] She was appointed as the ambassador by Vogue India for their Vogue Empower initiative to spread awareness on women's safety and empowerment.[85]
