Kalki Koechlin graced the cover of Cosmopolitan India's November 2018 issue. 

The actor, who looked stunning in a Versace dress and a short, messy bob, shared the stunning cover on her Instagram page.

In the no-holds-barred interview with the mag, Kalki has spoken about 'warped beauty standards and what India's #MeToo moment means for the women in the country'.

'The best that actors, who have the power to influence the masses, can do, is to be responsible for our choices,' she said.

'It's always the personality that comes through and makes one seem beautiful.

'There are so many women who are conventionally beautiful -- or men too for that matter (let's not leave them out!) -- but we don't remember them.

'But the ones who stand out might not be the most beautiful, you know. I think it's what's inside that makes you beautiful on the outside.

'You wouldn't believe how many people have told me that I need to fix my teeth, or that I need to restructure my jawline.

'A producer recently told me that I need to get Botox for my laughter lines --so I'm trying not to laugh so much!' she added.

Photographed by Sushant Kadam, the cover has been styled by Samar Rajput.
