After four years of marriage, Kalki Koechlin and Anurag Kashyap parted ways in 2015. Recently, she reflected on her decision to separate from Anurag and said it might have stemmed from her parents’ troubled relationship. Recalling how her mom and dad got engaged in a nasty divorce, Kalki emphasised that she put her relationship in danger.
Kalki shared, “My parents divorced when I was 13 and it was really bad. They were really nasty to each other and it was like cold and mean growing up between them. That was very tough. Maybe that’s why I’m divorced.”
“There is a certain part of you that jeopardises relationships once they start turning bad, but you are like ‘oh this happens’ because you have witnessed that as a child,” she added.

The actress also expressed how her separation with Anurag affected her. She said, “The first few years after the divorce were not easy for us. 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.”
The Sacred Games actress stated that it took her a few years to digest their divorce. However, their distance helped them move on. “It does take a few years. We didn’t get to it immediately and distance helped. Now we are in a good place and able to catch up once in a while,” concluded Kalki.
