Kolkata: Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin, who has enthralled the audience with her powerful performances, says if she gets a good story she would like to venture into direction.

"For me, expressing my thoughts is writing or talking about something which deeply affects me. If something on these lines does come to my mind, then why not," Kalki told PTI.

The 32-year-old acclaimed actress said while she feels lucky to have had meaty roles in her filmography, she wishes the industry comes up with stronger stories in future.

"The scripts and stories need to be stronger and that will happen if the writers are also given the liberty to express their creativity and paid better. Having said that I must say I have been lucky to have a free-willing career and do meaty roles," she said.

On the recent controversies about censor board's role in passing feature films for screening and imposing certain curbs, Kalki said, "We need a strong board of a rating system where it's implemented better. The adults are then free to make a choice of whether or not do they want to watch the film or not." (Also Read: Kalki Koechlin on How to Change Society's Mindset. Cinema Just One Way)

Kalki moved the audience as a cerebral palsy patient in the 2015's coming-of-age film Margarita, With a Straw.

The actress is now looking forward to her forthcoming films Waiting, also starring Naseeruddin Shah, and Mantra with her Shaitaan co-star Shiv Pandit.
