Kalki Koechlin breaks silence on her divorce from Anurag Kashyap: ‘Hurtful to see the other person with somebody else'
Talking to Zoom, the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actress said, 'My parents divorce 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.'
Highlighting that she witnessed her parents hating each other and their connection turning sour, Kalki remarked, 'There is a certain part of you that jeopardise relationships once they start turning bad, but you are like 'oh this happens' because you have witnessed that as a child.'
Further, the actress also expressed how her separation with Anurag Kashyap affected her. Kalki 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 to 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 we are able to catch up once in a while,' concluded Kalki.
For the unversed, Kalki was present at the wedding ceremony of Anurag Kashyap 's daughter, Aaliyah Kashyap, with his first wife Aarti Bajaj. Kalki Koechlin made her Bollywood debut with Dev D. After a couple of years of dating, she tied knot with Kashyap, who was the director of her debut movie and then got separated in 2015.

Bollywood films in the action, romance, comedy, and drama genres, including War 2, Coolie, and Dhadak 2, are expected to provide blockbuster entertainment in August 2025 Sonika Nitin Nimje New Delhi With some big theatrical releases across genres, from heart-pounding action thrillers and heart-breaking romantic dramas to side-splitting comedies and socially conscious stories, August 2025 is expected to be a landmark month for Bollywood. As the Independence Day weekend approaches, movie theatres will experience a surge in footfalls as big stars like Hrithik Roshan, Jr. NTR, Rajinikanth, Sidharth Malhotra, and Triptii Dimri light up the silver screen. Here are a few of the much-anticipated Bollywood flicks that will hit theatres in August 2025. Top 5 Movie releases in August 2025 1. Son of Sardaar 2 Release Date: August 1, 2025 This comedy film, which was directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and co-produced by Ajay Devgn, Jyoti Deshpande, NR Pachisia, and Pravin Talreja, is a spiritual sequel to the 2012 blockbuster Son of Sardaar. Along with Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, and Sanjay Mishra, Ajay Devgn is back in the lead. The main character of the movie is Jassi, who returns to Scotland after a long absence in the hopes of reconciling with his estranged wife. However, rather than a peaceful homecoming, he is entangled in a conflict with the local mafia and a vibrant, chaotic Sikh wedding. 2. Dhadak 2 Release Date: August 1, 2025 Dhadak 2, a romance drama directed by Shazia Iqbal, re-examines the themes of young love and inflexible social norms. Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri play the main roles in this version of the critically acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018). With funding from Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures, the film shifts its focus to a socially charged setting, addressing caste, honour killings, and deeply rooted prejudices in society. Despite being titled Dhadak 2, this instalment adopts a grittier and politically conscious stance than its predecessor. 3. War 2 Release Date: August 14, 2025 War 2, one of the month's biggest movies, will light up theatres as a part of Yash Raj Films' growing Spy Universe. Hrithik Roshan reprises his role as Major Kabir Dhaliwal in the Ayan Mukerji-directed movie. Telugu superstar Jr. NTR, who will play the main adversary in a never-before-seen role, joins him. War 2 promises suspenseful action, spectacular stunts, and intense emotional stakes, with Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Ashutosh Rana completing the cast. Aditya Chopra, Abbas Tyrewala, and Shridhar Raghavan wrote the film. 4. Param Sundari Release Date: August 29, 2025 Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor feature in the romantic comedy Param Sundari, which was written by Tushar Jalota and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Films banner. The Kerala-based film Param Sundari tells the story of a North Indian man and a South Indian woman who fall in love against caste-based and culturally-based family resistance. 5. Coolie Release Date: August 14, 2025 Superstar Rajinikanth and director Lokesh Kanagaraj are collaborating on Coolie, a Tamil action thriller that will also be available in Hindi and Telugu. In addition to Nagarjuna, Upendra, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Soubin Shahir, Sun Pictures is the film's producer.

Saiyaara's Aneet Padda Puts Her Goofy Side On Display In New Vacation Post
In a new snap on Instagram stories, Aneet Padda posted a cute close-up selfie and her glowing skin melted hearts. Aneet Padda is a star now, thanks to the success of her blockbuster film Saiyaara. But how is she celebrating? With a well-deserved vacation, of course. The actress jetted off to a beautiful, exotic location to enjoy her break from work and her fans can't get enough of the glimpses she has been sharing, keeping them posted with her life off-camera. But it is her latest post that has the internet buzzing and that's not because of just her gorgeous looks, though she looks like a dream. In a new snap on Instagram stories, Aneet posted a cute close-up selfie and her glowing skin melted hearts. What stole the attention was the caption as she wrote, 'Raina did not like this picture so I had to edit her out," putting her playful honesty into display. Aneet Padda's Film Journey Aneet Padda is basking in love for her role of Vaani Batra in Saiyaara. Also starring debutant Ahaan Panday, the Mohit Suri-directorial is inching close to Rs 275-crore mark at the box office. Before the romantic drama, the actress also worked in Kajol's film, Salaam Venky and a web series titled Big Girls Don't Cry. Aneet Padda's Struggling Days In an earlier interview with Zoom, Aneet Padda had opened up about her struggling days, revealing that it was difficult for her to make a name in showbiz, given her roots in Amritsar. She had said, 'The most obvious thing for me to say is that wanting to become an actor in a Punjabi household—a girl from Amritsar wanting to make it big in the industry—has been especially difficult because everybody around you asks questions about your decision to do something in the industry. I had decided that if I never put my foot out there and actually tried to make it, I would definitely hate myself. I still don't know if I will." Looking ahead, Aneet Padda has reportedly signed a courtroom drama which also features Fatima Sana Shaikh. The upcoming project, titled Nyaya, produced by Applause Entertainment, will see Fatima in a bold role of a cop fighting for justice for a 17-year-old rape victim, played by Aneet Padda. The show, filmed last year, also stars Arjun Mathur in the key role. First Published: July 31, 2025, 16:43 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
