The widely popular series Four More Shots Please! released its final season on December 19. As the show came to an end, Kirti Kulhari opened up about how the show has grown its audiences throughout the years.
Kirti Kulhari, who plays the role of a divorced mother and lawyer in the series, sat down for a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter and shared her journey as a part of the show.
Kirti Kulhari Believes The Show Continues To ‘Rattle Some Men’
Four More Shots Please! first premiered in 2019. It arrived at a cultural moment on screen that was still not comfortable with women opening up about their desire, ambition, and contradiction.
Recalling the backlash the first season received, Kirti shared, “Even before the full season dropped, the trailer
itself rattled a lot of men. There was outrage; some said, ‘How dare this show exist?’ Interestingly, more men than women had a problem with it. I think it made them uncomfortable because they weren’t sure what it would stir within them. And that discomfort hasn’t really gone away.”
Talking about how much she has grown as a person throughout each season, Kirti noted, “These last seven or eight years have brought immense personal growth. The stories we told on Four More Shots, the questions we asked, and the lives of these four women have deeply transformed me.”
She further revealed that during this time she got married and then separated. “When I look back at the woman I was eight years ago, I don’t deny her… but I barely recognise her now,” she shared.
Kirti continued, “Before the show, my comfort with my body, with dressing up, with putting myself out there was much lower…. Four More Shots brought out a different flavour in me with comedy and glamour and gave me confidence. Over time, I reached a place where glamour and no-glamour feel equally natural.”

Sharing her thoughts on the show finally coming to an end, Kirti revealed, “When the announcement came—‘It’s a wrap on Four More Shots Please’—I completely broke down.” She added, “That was the moment it hit me that we wouldn’t be doing this together anymore, maybe ever, or at least not for a very long time.”
