Dear Kalki, You Had Us At 'Sometimes The Feminism Fight Gets Ugly'

New Delhi: Kalki Koechlin, who stars in this week's film Waiting with Naseeruddin Shah, had several snappy answers to questions in a live Twitter chat on Wednesday. Apart from describing Naseer as 'passionate' and Ranbir Kapoor (her co-star in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani) as an 'adorable cheeky monkey,' she also had a delightfully pithy take on feminism - a word that's recently been discussed a fair bit online - and her fellow actresses.

Here are 10 best answers from #AskKalki:
