Kalki Koechlin says she had to maintain distance from Anurag Kashyap after their divorce: ‘Therapy alone not helpful’ | Bollywood News

Kalki Koechlin has long been vocal about mental health awareness and has never shied away from speaking about her personal experiences in the public eye. Now, the actor has once again opened up, this time about her relationship with ex-husband Anurag Kashyap, and how they have worked towards maintaining a healthier dynamic after the breakdown of their marriage. In a conversation with NDTV, Kalki admitted that the journey has been far from easy, revealing that it took years of effort, including therapy. But she is clear that therapy alone isn’t a complete solution. “I don’t think therapy alone helps. Firstly, when you’re going through a lot of grief, it’s sometimes even hard to do therapy because you need to feel your grief for some time. Therapy helps in the long term, and I highly recommend it.” She elaborated further on the process of healing and letting go. “In the long term, if you don’t want to hold grudges against some people who’ve hurt you, it’s a wonderful tool to go back way in the past …

SC hikes wife`s maintenance, rules EMIs cannot override duty to maintain spouse

The Supreme Court has enhanced the monthly maintenance payable to a woman from Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000, holding that a husband’s financial commitments, such as loan repayments for asset creation, cannot take precedence over his statutory obligation to maintain his spouse.  A bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and AG Masih passed the order while allowing an appeal filed by Deepa Joshi against her estranged husband, Gaurav Joshi, challenging the adequacy of maintenance fixed by courts below. The apex court modified a June 26, 2025, order of the Uttarakhand High Court, which had earlier enhanced the maintenance from Rs 8,000 to Rs 15,000 per month. In its order, the Justice Karol-led Bench noted that the husband, employed as a Manager with Canara Bank, was drawing a gross monthly income of Rs 1,15,670 and had a regular source of earnings. It also recorded that the wife has no independent source of income and has been living separately shortly after the marriage. “Repayments of loans, particularly where such repayments result in creation or acquisition of assets, partake …
