Kalki candidly shared, "It takes time. There is no denying that in the first few years after our divorce, we couldn't be the kind of friends that we are today. We needed that separate time because it hurts to know about the other person's relationship and things like that."
During those early years, both Kalki and Anurag recognized the importance of creating individual spaces and embarking on journeys of self-discovery and healing. Kalki revealed that she sought solace and introspection through therapy, a pivotal step in her path to self-renewal. This period of personal growth was instrumental in laying the foundation for the deep and authentic friendship they share today.
Fast forward to the present, approximately seven to eight years after their divorce, Kalki and Anurag have not only reconciled but have blossomed into genuine friends who support each other's endeavors. Theirs is a story that reflects resilience, growth, and the enduring bond forged through shared experiences.
Today, Kalki finds herself in a loving relationship with Guy Hershberg, and together, they welcomed their daughter Sappho in 2020. Despite embarking on new chapters in their lives, Kalki and Anurag have managed to transcend the complexities of divorce, choosing instead to embrace a friendship built on mutual respect and genuine affection.
In an interview with India Today, Kalki spoke of the ease that characterizes her relationship with Anurag today. They have weathered storms together and emerged at a place of profound peace and understanding. In fact, Kalki recently attended the engagement celebration of Aaliyah Kashyap, Anurag's daughter with his first wife, Arti Bajaj. Sharing a heartwarming anecdote, Kalki revealed the budding relationship between Aaliyah and her daughter, Sappho. She described the two as having a playful friendship, with Sappho viewing Aaliyah as a real-life princess.
