Mumbai, India: In a candid and revealing interview, acclaimed actress Kalki Koechlin has opened up about the emotional aftermath of her divorce from filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, admitting that it was "hurtful to see the other person with somebody else" in the initial years following their separation. The couple, who were once a prominent power duo in Bollywood, tied the knot in 2011 and officially parted ways in 2015.
Kalki's recent statements shed light on the complex journey
of healing and moving on after a high-profile divorce. While they now share a
cordial relationship, with Kalki even attending Anurag's daughter Aaliyah
Kashyap's wedding in December 2024, the path to amicable terms was not an
immediate one.
The Painful Road to Healing
Speaking to Zoom, Kalki shared that the first few years
post-divorce were challenging for both of them. "The first few years after
the divorce were not easy for us," she revealed. "Then came a point
when we were like, 'we need to stay out of each other's lives' because it was
hurtful to see the other person with somebody else, just the reminders are so
strong."
Her honesty resonates with many who have experienced the
pain of seeing an ex move on. The actress emphasized that time and distance
played a crucial role in their healing process. "It does take a few years.
We didn't get to it immediately, and distance helped," she explained.
Childhood Influences and Moving Forward
Kalki also hinted that her understanding of relationships
and her own divorce might have been subtly influenced by witnessing her
parents' "nasty" divorce when she was 13. She reflected on how
growing up in such an environment could, in some ways, condition a person to
"jeopardize relationships once they start turning bad." However, she
credits "consciousness and therapy" for helping her overcome this
conditioning and process her past experiences.
Today, Kalki Koechlin is in a happy and settled place in her
life. She is married to Israeli musician Guy Hershberg, and the couple welcomed
their daughter, Sappho, in February 2020. Their multicultural household, where
they speak multiple languages, reflects Kalki's diverse background and her
embrace of a new chapter.
Anurag Kashyap, too, has moved on, and while he has stated
he's not planning to remarry, he continues to focus on his prolific filmmaking
career. The mature friendship shared by Kalki and Anurag, as evidenced by her
presence at Aaliyah's wedding, is a testament to their ability to navigate past
pain and forge a new kind of respectful relationship.
Kalki Koechlin's openness provides a valuable perspective on
the personal struggles that often accompany public splits, highlighting the
human element behind celebrity relationships. Her journey from heartache to a
place of peace and acceptance serves as an inspiration for many.
