Actress Kalki Koechlin tied the knot with director Anurag Kashyap in 2011 at her maternal home in Ooty, after they met on the sets of her debut film Dev D. However, in 2013, they announced their separation and officially divorced in 2015. Now, the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actress has opened up about her divorce from Anurag, revealing that it was not easy for either of them during the initial years following their separation.
Speaking to Zoom, Kalki said there came a point when they felt, 'We need to stay out of each other’s lives.' She added, "It was hurtful to see the other person with somebody else, the reminders were just so strong."
Talking about the cordial relationship they share now, the actress revealed that it took them a few years to get there. She added that they didn’t immediately form a bond, and that maintaining some distance initially helped.
"Now we are in a good place and we are able to catch up once in a while," added Kalki.
Kalki was also present at Anurag’s daughter Aaliyah Kashyap’s wedding, which took place in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Mumbai on December 11, 2024, with Shane Gregoire.
Kalki is now married to Guy Hershberg, an Israeli musician. The actress welcomed their daughter, Sappho, in February 2020, before the couple got married.
The couple met at a petrol station on the way to the Dead Sea located between Israel and Jordan. Their connection grew as they continued talking over the years and they decided to have a baby together.
"He’s Jewish. Part Russian, part Polish, part Iranian. I’m of French origin, born and brought up in India. My first name is Hindu, my last name is Protestant. We have a daughter with a Greek name to whom we speak in Hebrew, French, Hindi and Tamil. We don't follow any religious rites at home but we share our different customs and food. We fight everyday about whose turn it is to do the dishes and we always split our dessert in equal parts," the actress had revealed.
