In the following few paragraphs, Kalki spoke about how the two did and learnt news things for each other which brought them closer and taught them to respect the other as individuals and also each other's cultures.

"He got me to eat middle-eastern salad for breakfast, I got him to eat three regular meals a day. He learnt to make biryani and I, shakshuka. He took Hindi classes and watched French films, I started online Hebrew classes and learnt to listen to western classical music. He likes his coffee with cardamom, I like my chai with milk and sugar,"
wrote Kalki.

She continued, "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. #love #parenting #India #Israel #interfaith #pyaar #couplegoals #lifegoals #Hindu #Christian #Jew (sic)."

For the unversed, Kalki was married to filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. However, due to personal reasons, the couple parted ways in 2015. Kalki then started dating Guy Hershberg. The couple welcomed their daughter Sappho on February 7, 2020.
