Anurag Kashyap opens up about his equation with his ex-wives

During a recent interview with Zoom, Anurag Kashyap opened up about his equation with his ex-wives. He shared they've grown to a point where they can admit their past mistakes and have an “honest” discussion about them. He said, “When we were young, we made our mistakes. We are mature enough to admit to our mistakes and address our mistakes. Hota hai, abhi bhi kuch pending nikal aata hai. We are friends, Aarti still edits my work, usko kabhi bhi gussa aa sakta hai. (She can get angry at any point). But we are friends first. The same thing is true with Kalki. There is an age when we are immature, we are blind, but then a time comes when we become mature and understand things. Till we talk to each other with honesty, that bitterness doesn’t stay for long. Bitterness is only between those couples who don’t talk to each other with honesty.”
