Kalki Koechlin is relieved that she can let her baby bump 'hang free' after months of 'covering it up'. The actor reported that she is expecting her first child with partner Guy Hershberg, an old-style piano player from Jerusalem, Israel in an interview with HT Brunch.

On Monday, the 5-month pregnant Kalki shared a photograph to the subtitle, "Relieved I can let that bump hang free after months of stuffing it into costumes which fit me at the beginning of shoot schedules in July but were not so easy to zip up by mid-September! And kudos to my style saviours @who_wore_what_when for coming up with innovative ways to cover it up!"

Discussing what caused her to pick pregnancy following quite a while of dismissing the pressure of expected motherhood, Kalki said in another meeting to Mumbai Mirror that it was seeing her younger sibling grow up and a "more settled feeling of creating a home" that caused her to pick this.

Discussing her partner Guy, the entertainer stated, "It's a process of gradual trust. Ironically, the distance helped us communicate a lot more since we don't have the luxury of seeing each other every day. He has spent his life teaching children piano so, he's going to be the disciplinarian — the more experienced parent I feel."

Whenever inquired as to whether there's a wedding with Guy Hershberg, Kalki answered, "We have considered it for the purpose of parental rights and nationality issue. But I don't want to rush it because of societal pressures. We will see when the time feels right. It will be a registration and a quiet family gathering."

Prior, conversing with Brunch, Kalki said that she needs to be an engaged parent. "My concern is to connect with my child, not to have a particular rule, or expectation." She additionally said she has a name as a top priority. "I've chosen a name that works for either gender and that is representative of a gay person, because I want my child to have that freedom of movement under the many umbrellas of gender that we have," she said.
