\n\u201cMe being selective with my projects is a conscious decision. I am extra selective now because I don\u2019t want to be away from my daughter, unless I really have something very exciting to do in hand,\u201d Koechlin tells us.<\/p>\n
The mother of one adds, \u201cBut there is another truth to it too. The work comes few and far between. Even though you have so many platforms and so many different mediums, getting a quality piece of work is once in a while thing. We have to wait it out. Every script that you get is not going to turn out to be a gem\u201d.<\/p>\n
Most recently, the actor was seen in Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Sam Bahadur and second season of Made in Heaven.<\/p>\n
Here, Koechlin rues lack stories about women over 40 on screen.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are so harsh towards women over 40. They don\u2019t know anything about women over 40. They don\u2019t know what happens to our bodies, they don\u2019t know much about menopause. That also because we are not writing about it,\u201d shares the 40-year-old.<\/p>\n
She adds, \u201cMore women will feel empowered when women writers and directors are out there. That\u2019s because such stories will come to the forefront. The stories about perimenopause, menopause, and the changing lifestyles of women in their later years. There are far and few projects, with more projects in Hollywood with stars such as Jodie Foster, Meryl Streep and Cindy Crawford.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThese people have such stories to tell and it\u2019s nice to see them doing that. I think we, back in India, need more of those stories,\u201d she ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
