Kalki Koechlin Pronunciation advice

One of the most mis pronounced names among Bollywood stars. So much so that even awards ceremony hosts get it dreadfully wrong. The correct pronunciation is

keck (rhymes with check)-larn (rhymes with barn) (although the last sound is slightly nasalised, but if you cannot nasalise it is ok to pronounce it like this or as lah (rhyming with blah))

If you can read Hindi, 

कॆकलाँ 

She herself had in an interaction said that it is fine if you make it rhyme with Dhoklaa (ढोकला), though I would recommend that you should add the nasal sound at the end if you can.

If you are comfortable using the pronunciation key - keklaa.n

This is neither funny, nor intelligent, nor cool. This is very very important. I hate it when anyone mispronounce my names. Poor Kalki !!!
