Earlier, Kalki had revealed that she and Hershberg took a ‘conscious decision’ to not marry each other. Thus, the couple decided to live together. She told told Mashable, “I was already divorced, he was like I am not interested in marriage.”

“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 revealed.
Kalki was earlier married to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. The duo tied the knot in 2011, later in 2015 they parted ways.
