Kalki Koechlin: 'Non-communication is key to post-breakup healing'
22 Apr
Summary
- Kalki recommends therapy and non-communication for healing.
- She believes in taking time away from an ex to process grief.
- Kalki and Anurag Kashyap maintain an amicable bond post-divorce.
Actress Kalki Koechlin shared her insights on navigating post-breakup healing, drawing from her own experience after divorcing filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. She advocates for a multi-faceted approach that includes therapy and crucial periods of non-communication.
Koechlin stresses that while therapy is beneficial in the long term, immediate post-breakup raw emotions require a phase of no contact. She suggests that this period of separation should ideally be equivalent to half the duration of the relationship, allowing individuals to process anger and pain without engaging the ex-partner.
She further explains that once intense emotions subside, recalling positive memories from the relationship can signal readiness to re-establish an amicable connection. Koechlin and Kashyap, who were married from 2011 to 2015, have successfully maintained a friendly bond and have collaborated professionally multiple times since their divorce, including on projects like 'Sacred Games 2' and 'Goldfish'.
