ToggleKalki Koechlin early life

Kalki was born on the 10th of January 1982 to her French parents Joel Koechlin and Armanadie Koechlin in France but had moved to Pondicherry, India. Her zodiac sign is Capricorn she currently is thirty-eight years old and she has lived most of her early life in Tamil Nadu since her father had established a business there and her family was ardent devotees of Sri Aurobindo.

After their divorce, Kalki barely talked about her personal and love life since she felt targeted during her separation from her ex-husband.
In the year 2019, she made her relationship with an Israeli musician (classical pianist) named Guy Hershburg public. The couple later welcomed their first child together in the year 2020.
What was interesting about the birth of their daughter, Sappho was that, unlike many other actresses, Kalki chose to go for the water birth of her daughter rather than having her delivered in a hospital.
