When Kalki struggled to find house post-divorce from Anurag Kashyap
What's the story
Acclaimed actor Kalki Kanmani recently opened up about her struggles to find a house on rent in Mumbai after her divorce from filmmaker Anurag Kashyap in 2015.
Despite having starred in blockbusters like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, she was turned away for being a single woman.
Speaking to After Hours with All About Eve, she said, "You want to take selfies with me, but you don't want to give me a house."
Housing history
Kashyap's house was found by Kanmani
Detailing her woes in the interview, the actor said, "I couldn't find a place to live. Nobody would give me a house to rent in Mumbai as a single woman."
Interestingly, earlier, Kashyap revealed that the house he lives in now was actually found by Kanmani.
He said, "This was the house we moved into when I got married. Koechlin had found this house."
The property used to belong to director Shashanka Ghosh and the couple bought it from him.
Lifestyle choice
Kashyap's preference for rental living
Kashyap also revealed that he prefers to live on rent, as it gives him flexibility.
He said, "When I came to Mumbai, I actually just wanted to somehow get into movies. I could have done anything for the house."
"And then I moved in here."
He added that he likes this arrangement as it allows him to move freely without being tied down.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Kanmani was last seen in the critically acclaimed film Goldfish. Her upcoming projects include Her Story and Nesippaya.
