 "Kalki Koechlin says she and ex-husband Anurag Kashyap 'are at ease with each other now'")
Actress Kalki Koechlin is basking in the critical acclaim received by her recent releases Goldfish and Made in Heaven Season 2. The Dev D star opened up about her current bond with ex-husband Anurag Kashyap, who is also ‘on board’ with Pushan Kripalani’s film in some recent chats. As part of the conversation, the 39-year-old actress revealed that although the initial years after their divorce were challenging, they have been firm friends since. In an interview, Kalki acknowledged that she and Anurag Kashyap have been through so much together as well as apart, but now they are at peace.
Kalki on her equation with Anurag Kashyap
Kalki Koechlin while describing her bond with ex-husband Anurag Kashyap said that in the first few years after their divorce, they couldn’t be the kind of friends they are today. Talking about the ‘separate time’ needed in the relationship, she added “it hurts to know about the other person’s relationship and things like that.”
Recalling the past, she added, “I definitely took a lot of therapy and now it’s been seven, eight years… It’s been a long, long time so it’s fine, it’s great and we get along as friends.” In addition, she also mentioned how their daughters get along very well with each other. “So basically, my daughter thinks Aaliyah is a real princess,” she added.
On 3 August, Kalki Koechlin was spotted attending the engagement party of Anurag’s daughter Aaliyah Kashyap and Shane Gregoire’s in Mumbai. She was accompanied by her partner Guy Hershberg and their daughter Sappho.
