“I dream of flying over cities and oceans”

Kirti Kulhari believes in giving her all, whether it is to her performances or her desire to help people.

On a mangal mission to garner critical acclaim with films like Pink and Uri and web series like Criminal Justice and Bard Of Blood, Kirti is equally keen on doing a romcom.

She has a statue of Lord Vishnu in her tastefully done-up rented apartment because an astrologer told her it would help accentuate her proclivity for helping others.

When you drop in at her house — it’s largely decorated in white — Kirti is likely to make and serve you piping hot cutting chai laced with ginger and black pepper. – DINESH RAHEJA

Your dream breakfast in bed?

Anything to do with eggs — Eggs Benedict, French toast or anda bhurji — accompanied by toast butter and jam, a glass of orange juice and a steaming hot cup of black coffee.

Your preferred side of the bed? And why?

The right side, probably because I think from the right side of the brain, I am right-handed and I am a woman.
