Kalki on battling insomnia after heartbreak

Actress Kalki Koechlin has opened up about battling months of insomnia following a heartbreak, speaking candidly on Soha Ali Khan's podcast 

There are some things celebrities rarely talk about, and sleepless nights born from heartbreak are one of them. But Kalki Koechlin has never been one to shy away from honesty, and in a recent candid conversation, she pulled back the curtain on one of the most difficult chapters of her life, revealing how emotional pain quietly turned into a months-long battle with insomnia.

Speaking on a recent podcast hosted by Soha Ali Khan, Kalki opened up about battling insomnia after a heartbreak, stating, "I did have a series of months of insomnia from heartbreak, and it really made me realise how psychological it all is." 

The nights, she recalled, were relentless. Sleep would either not come at all, or would abandon her in the early hours with no hope of return.

"I just could not sleep. I would wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning and end up playing the guitar or doing something to occupy myself, because there was no way of going back to sleep," she shared.

What made the experience particularly unsettling was how the prolonged sleep deprivation began to distort her sense of reality. Even on working days, Kalki found herself unable to tell whether she was awake or still caught in a dream.
