Kalki Koechlin has revealed that she was sexually abused as a child and the reason she didn't speak about it earlier is because for her it's not a one day headline, it's something that's a reality she has lived with for a long time. <br /> <br />The Bollywood actor told a news channel that it took her many, many years to even come out and talk about her experience. <br /> <br />The Dev D star asserted that her writing, art and acting is therapeutic for her because it helps her to release things out. <br /> <br />She said that everybody has different outlets as long as there are places where you can do that, adding that not everybody has privilege to talk about it openly. <br /> <br />Koechlin also urged other women and children to talk about it, if not to the world than with someone they can trust.
