Kalki Koechlin has shared her love story with her Israeli boyfriend Guy Hershberg and how they are raising their daughter Sappho with whom they speak in Hebrew, French, Hindi and Tamil. Kalki has also revealed that they continue to fight every day to wash the dishes, but they still split dessert at dinner.
While Kalki is of French origin and was born and raised in India, Guy is a religious Jew with Russian and Polish roots. The couple have given a Greek name to their daughter born earlier this year.
Sharing the story of how they met, Kalki wrote for India Love Project on Instagram: “We met at a gas station on the way to the Dead Sea and started a conversation that spanned several years of togetherness and a baby. We did the Bombay-Jerusalem commute every month for a couple of years where I used to pack fresh coconuts in my suitcase to Israel and he would bring kilos of oranges and avocados to India.
Speaking of how they took pleasure in giving and receiving from each other’s culture, she further wrote: “He made me eat a Middle Eastern salad for breakfast, I made him eat three regular meals a day. He learned to make biryani and I, shakshuka. He took Hindi classes and watched French movies, started Hebrew classes online, and learned to listen to Western classical music. He likes his coffee with cardamom, I like my chai with milk and sugar ”.
Kalki also said that they do not follow any religious rites at home, but share their different customs and food. “We fight every day over whose turn it is to wash the dishes and we always divide our dessert equally,” she said.

Kalki chose a water birth. I had written a long note to clarify the pain women suffer during childbirth. She said: “I respect all women going through the intense and gruesome experience of childbirth, whether vaginal or cesarean, many of whom do not receive credit or support for the greater challenges they face, but are expected to do so. it’s for some kind of duty. The process has a great psychological and physical cost and must have the support of an entire community to really heal ”.
