After watching this performance, I am stunned: Kalki is an artist beyond excellence! This piece should be a must watch for everyone - to help us comprehend what it means to be mother: something we take so much for granted.
This was for the first time in a long time that I watched something with 100% focus and forgot about my own troubles.
Brilliant work. Just brilliant!
You would have loved the live performance then! :')
It is extremely difficult what she did there but she did it so seamlessly. As a mother of a 15month old daughter, I can feel every emotion that she depicts here
Take a bow Kalki. The performance and writing are beyond words. Respect.
My God, this girl ! I cannot imagine how hard it must be to do this so perfectly with SO MUCH SO MUCH continuous prose and poetry, while simultaneously acting it out with expressions and actions ! ❤ She deserves so much more than what she got in Bollywood.
Thank you Kalki. For speaking for all mothers when we can't. Maybe slowly the world will acknowledge our struggle and needs.
what do you mean about speaking for mothers .. its your choice to be a wife and a mother .. if you can't . dont do it ...
Kalki your just awesome. As a mother of a toddler, I am still going through all of these. I am okay or I say so... How much ever men stay by our side, they will never be able to understand what a terrible, joyous, monstrous ride every mother undergoes. ❤ At the end of the day, whatever our appearance is our children seek us. That's when we feel we have made a wonder that makes us wonder and content. Stay blessed Kalki ❤
What a talent!!! She has pulled off with aplomb the life and emotions behind motherhood! Kudos, superb Kalki. Thanks for putting it all together for us❤
❤❤❤
What a great piece of art. To all the amazing men out there, I just have one request, don't dump the entire responsibility of your baby on the woman, changing diapers will not make you less of a man, go ahead and be an amazing dad
How incredibly talented this woman is! Performing every second with such perfection for 18 long minutes making us feel all the different emotions... Respect and love!
I am going to deliver my first baby in less than a month after years of infertility. I love my child to bits and have only loved being pregnant until very recently. I suddenly have this fear, this nervousness of the unknown and the uncertain. I suddenly feel like I am losing control over my life, my baby and what happens with him/her. I fear the judgements, the comments, the unsolicited opinions. Some which I have heard from friends and family and some which might not even come my way but are so deeply ingrained in how society views mothers and parenthood, that I can't shake. I don't have the pressure of looking better than before but I do feel scared about upsetting people with the boundaries I set for my baby and family. I am nervous about being the breaker of toxic parenting cycle.
This poetic play, and Kalki's performance validated my nervousness and at the same time reminded me, how much worth all of this is going to be.
Being anxious means you are fine. Like the first day in a new school or college. We focus on what we can control and what we believe in. As long as we are confident that they are healthy and believe in the boundaries we set people will eventually accept it. The trick is not to try and please everyone especially those that are making you anxious.
@@suganthym1438 Thank you!! What you have said is so profound. I appreciate your comment. ❤️
@@suganthym1438 Very beautifully put by you! We can only imagine how hard it must be to go through the roller coaster of emotions!
@@vilearninglife4723 these are life lessons learnt through experience. I have a natural tendency to be anxious too. And there is a rational reason for your anxiety at this point. So being aware and accepting that my natural response to some situations is being anxious helps me move forward and process it . And work out ways to reassure myself. Some things like infertility is a journey which we traverse alone.
Being a mother of a 7 year old.. I have gone through this. Each and every word is just the best described feelings. Motherhood is the toughest and yet incredible task God has given us.
Only Kalki could pull it off like this! Hats off to this woman.❤
Like someone has put all my feelings of last year(since I have birth) into words.
What a performance!! I’ve laughed and cried all in these 18 minutes. Kalki is talented beyond measures.
Kalki's performance is always an honour to experience :')
Also, All the best to you in this journey of motherhood
Kalki is truly one of the greatest talents of our world. And so is every mother. Happy mother's life🌼.
Hilarious and scary at the same time. as a 28yr old, single women wondering should I be worried about my biological clock ticking; Now i want to let it run out of its batteries.
My favourite comment 😂
Hahaha! NGL! This had us thinking too! 🤣
You can see the anxiety, the mess..but the love you feel for your child which you never thought you could feel is priceless....it looks scary but it's super rewarding!! It's an amazing experience but yes to each his/her own...and sometimes in you late 20s you are not ready but than you may want it in your mind 30s and don't worry about biological clock...I had mine at 36...and I am okay 😜
I am in my forties, single and wishing of raising an imaginary kid. The clock has gone far and wide. 😊
Yesss... Absolutely relate to this!! I watched and kept waiting for her to bring up the good parts of motherhood, the stuff that I've heard about from my mom and a couple of friends, but they were few and far between 😟😟 So yes, currently reconsidering my plan and wondering whether all of this is truly worth it🤔
Such a truly talented person. Motherhood is scary - I understand that birthing, nursing a baby could take a toll but the most concerning thing is the lifelong worry about your child and their whereabouts.
I waited for you, madam. I waited to see you perform on stage with a story as true as this. I have loved your work for a long long time, esp on stage, when right after the host announces your name, the stage becomes a theatre, an immersive playground. I suspend all my disbelief and love you for all your truth. Thank you.
What a beautiful occurrence it is when Kalki touches the stage!
THE REASON I LIKE KALKI , SHES PERFECT AND SO FINE ❤
Kalki is one of the best people I've had the chance to encounter through mediums like this!
You overcome so much in life and feel like you've succedded just to realise that motherhood is a whole new thing alltogether.
You're doing so well, Kalki!
No words would suffice this brilliant act and superb script outlining all the aspects of motherhood from giving birth, increased responsibilities of parent(s), post maternal depression, mother's instinct and none the less societal over expectations of a mother while overlooking the elation and plight of motherhood. This act deserves the highest award in the respective category. Excellent performance, Kalki❤
Brilliant brilliant brilliant....her talent is beyond measure.....she has spoken every little thought and emotion of a mother.....unapologetically real....just excellent.....its a wonder how she has portrayed this forever neglected rather considered nonexistent topic.....as a second time mother I can truly connect with each n every line she has voiced for us mohers
Beyond amazing. Sitting here in my room at 1:20am. I was just feeling these things. Then opened youtube and saw this video. It is exactly
the same thing that I was feeling .
She has been part of some iconic Bollywood movies 🎉
No one has ever potrayed the beauty of motherhood with the true struggles that comes!!! It's beautifully compiled ! It's always the smiles and happiness that's showcased ! This is the reality of every mother handling the baby ❤❤❤ without any extra help ! Let this act dwell in and let mothers get support and let this be the CHANGE 🎉
Can relate to every bit of it! The joy, the struggle, the madness, the chaos.... is all real, is all precious and as a mom I am constantly amazed by this whole new paradigm that I am privy to now! It's so exhausting and yes, so precious ❤
It is near to unbelievable what mothers go though for their child! Every mom is a super mom
Omg, what a talented performer Kalki is! Can't get enough of her stage performances, ever 💛
This isn't trending yet!!?? Whattt the!! I am okay I am fine👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Haha! We too believe this one deserves a lot of love!
Holding my 3monyhs old and listening this...feeling everyword ..from blast of oxytocin and parallelly crying in the showers at times...
Motherhood is lovely and challenging at the same time
All the best with your journey as a mum.
How beautiful is this n how brilliant actor Kalki is …her every single dialogue/line screams theatre acting ..my mind is just 🤯🤯
I don’t have the words to explain my emotions, I am to be mother and these thoughts, each and every thought explained here arise inside me like a tsunami every moment, a salute to every luckiest person (mother) alive ❤
When i was listening and just thinking about my mother how she did it and i cried and cried,that was stunning really❤
What a performer! And what a perfect poem encapsulating all that mothers go through
Got goosebumps after watching this... wow wow wow... what a performance... every mother can relate with this... ❤
You are speaking up my mind Kalki. Of all the women who go through the Respectful, but reluctant to notice- the Motherhood Phase.
Did you cry really at the end. That tears are not fake.. A mother's tears can never be fake..
No one could have done it better! ❤ Truly Amazing!!
Story of every mother in this modern world.. Beautifully performed by a mother herself.. A big salute to all mothers and especially to Kalki.. Because you are amazing be it a mother or an actor
I love this with my whole heart. So relatable...becoming a mother means literally becoming selfless. Matrescence is a real thing. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
One of the greatest performances ever. The delivery, the acting, the expressions everything pitch perfect. Hilarious and thought provoking at the same time. Kalki...you beauty.
A Beautiful tribute to mothers on mother's day.
Amazingly beautiful kalki at it's best
Kalki you given us the glimpse of "Kayanath " with your kaleidoscopic rendition... what a great writer you are...the graphic hardships ...& then the climax...pure love for your bundle of joy! Whoah 💕
Absolutely stunning performance and the way Kalki delivered it with the monologue touching all emotions of a mother is brilliant 👏👏kudos!
Thank you for becoming our voice kalki, a great work of art
She's so talented and brilliant and super cool and admirable and the list goes on...More power to you, Kalki!
Great artist are those who makes us think the revolutionary thoughts through casual mundane stuffs like this. And she proved it again. A great artist and brilliant performance.
So well written and so well played. Thankyou so much for sharing. No wonder this play has touched not only my heart but also my soul. 💐
I cried and laughed at the same time. Haven't seen something so true and honest and heartfelt in a long time. Brilliant Kalki 🤩
Mouthing the feelings of all mothers in such a remarkable way.. writing and performance beyond words
Mesmerising performance....totally blown away❤
What a performance... Now I have a new parameter set for poetry and performance... Watched this 19 min video at a stretch while having lunch. And here I am sitting with dried hand and spoon! I thought if I won't finish watching it I'll miss something really worth knowing. What a piece of poetry and insight and that portrayal of the same. Take a bow, Kalki Koechlin! 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good god, she’s so incredibly talented! So incredibly talented!
I was constantly laughing and crying at the same time. I'm 22, but surely this will be my anthem for motherhood that I will experience, express, and believe for the rest of my life.
Wonders are demonstrated by acting in a certain way, I think Kalki just created a wonderful moment for me. Thank you, writers, directors, and Kalki for this♥
This is actual meaning of motherhood.
There are high levels of frustration than joy for every mother, it's just we feel guilty to put it out or other make us feel more worse if we put it out.
A unending advices from idiotic men with no sense of acknowledgement of what a mother go through in intial phases and how much we are in a repeat mode right from breast feeding , to sleepless nights , to household chores, emotions , health and everything what not.
Yet we do stand up every day, every hour, every min every sec.
It's quite unfortunate that most of men don't even bother.
Thank you kalki you voiced out what many women feel at that stage
Brilliant brilliant brilliant.
And now again time to feed 😅 bye
I thought I was the only one going through these crazy emotions, but she articulated everything I am feeling almost word by word, is it the same for every mother?
Spoken exactly what I am going through in my life right now!!! Had tears in my eyes watching this, just to know there are people who understand how hard is motherhood.. thank you kalki. Just with your performance, I feel I am not alone 🥲
Exactly 👍
wow wow what a performance, what a talent, I wonder how long she practised the monologue before the final act. Amazing
wow.... kalki, HATS OFF!!! I am amazed. Thank you for making my day. Proud of YOU♥
This is an work of art!!! Kalki , oh my god you're just so brilliant!!
Kalki could pull off a fleabag. My god this is just incredible. wow.
It's a very true story of every mother,, that's why it's said that a woman never forgets how she was treated in a pregnancy and after her delivery.. I guess the whole day I say I'm okay...
I can resonate every line. Kalki you are an artist.
Found the most Relatable video ever. The level of confusion and love at the same time. Kudos to Kalki ❤
I can never express the gratitude and pain I felt for my Mom❤ just watching this bawling my eyes out 😭
❤❤❤❤
Kalki you are AMAZING! Love you. Hilarious but so true and authentic. You have voiced the agony of so many so very perfectly. ❤️
Loved loved loved this performance. She is an extraordinary actor. I was literally crying through the video as other people were laughing at her small jokes.. I felt that pain in sarcasm. ❤❤❤❤❤ wonderful piece. Thank you so much for putting this out. Everyone says they understand how mothers feel buy no one actually does.
Brilliant writing and performance .. amazing how you picked up all the emotions that a mother feels.. you definitely gave all writers a run for their money..
I'm speechless and astounded at the same time....
I was so lost watching it and i didn't want it to be ended. I've seen Kalki acting before but this time it hit differently. A moment i was seeing pain in her eyes and in another moment love and in another confusion and in another questions.... This is the power of a true artist. Just loved it.❤️
oh my GOD...absolutely amazing.....Kalki pulled this off with so much ease. Beautiful.

I feel proud for being made to make a life someday, live for and around it, raise it, sacrifice maybe and yet not complain for it's gonna be worth everything.🥲😍
This was beauuuutiful. She looks so much like Susan from F.R.I.E.N.D.S - Jessica Hecht.

Ah! Absolutely correct!
Ur awesome kalki ....this is how every mother goes through
Amazing work. At awe. A perfection poetic incapsulation of all the emotions of a mother. Bravo.
This is work of art 🎭🔥❤️
Life story of every mother. Kalki nailed it…
Wow Kalki, this is beyond beautiful!
Haven't ever seen any piece of content describing what it takes for a mother to be a mother this well, I felt it to the core even though I'm not a mother yet ( due to the experiences I had with my nephew while helping my sister). Hope to see this video reaching many hearts ❤
Thank you Kalki for doing this 🙏
Wow! That was incredible! 😮
You have given a voice to all the mothers in the world. Kudos for that 💃💃💃
I have no words for this performance neither for one who wrote it. Commenting on kalki’s performance and script writer would be a grave injustice
Speechless awesome and truth in every way 👏
ज्यादा से ज्यादा पुरुषों को शेयर करें❤बहुत अच्छा कल्कि🎉
Oohh that was so beautiful❤
Ocean of emotions.. well played 💗💗💗
So so so brilliant Kalki! Thanks so much for doing this.

Witty, surprising, exhausting and entertaining at the same time. She pulled it off so gracefully.
Utterly beautiful description of a mother and motherhood.
Hats off Kalki ❤
