Kalki was born in Pondicherry, Puducherry, India. Her parents, Joël Koechlin and Françoise Armandie, are French emigrants, from Angers, Maine-et-Loire.
Kalki’s patrilineal ancestry can be traced back to her fifteenth great-grandfather, Hans (or Jean in French) Koechlin, of Stein am Rhein, Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
