Anurag Kashyap is one of the most sought-after directors of Bollywood. With films like Black Friday, Dev D, Gulaal, Raman Raghav 2.0, Manmarziya and many more to his credit, Anurag is known for his unconventional storytelling. Anurag, who has always managed to garner positive reviews for his cult films is regarded as a humble and down to earth man by the women in his life.
The ace director, Anurag and his first wife, Aarti Bajaj had welcomed their daughter, Aaliyah Kashyap in 2001. Anurag and Aarti had separated in 2007 and were granted divorce in 2009, however, despite their separation, the doting parents had never let it hamper their daughter, Aaliyah.

Anurag Kashyap shares a warm bond with both his ex-wives, Aarti Bajaj and Kalki Koechlin. When the director was accused of sexual assault in 2020 by actress, Payal Ghosh, Kalki had defended him with a powerful note. An excerpt from her note could be read as:
"Dear Anurag, don’t let this social media circus get to you, you have fought for the freedom of women in your scripts, you’ve defended their integrity in your professional space as well as in your personal life. I have been witness to it, in the personal and professional space you have always seen me as your equal, you have stood up for my integrity even after our divorce, and you have supported me when I felt unsafe in a work environment even before we got together."

Not just Kalki, but his first wife, Aarti too had come for his support. Calling Anurag a ‘rockstar’ and claiming the charges as the ‘cheapest stunt’, Aarti had written:
“First wife here. You are a rockstar @anuragkashyap10. Keep empowering women as you do and the safest place you create for all of them. I see it first hand with our daughter. There is no integrity left and the world is full of losers and no brains baying for blood of anyone who has a voice. If everybody spends the energy which they use in hating others constructively this world will be a better place. Cheapest stunt I have seen till now. First it made me angry then I laughed so hard as it cannot come more framed then this. I am sorry that you have to go through this. That’s the level of them. You stay HIGH and keep using your voice. We love you."
Well, we love the bond Aaliyah shares with her dad, Anurag's ex-wife, Kalki! What about you? Let us know.
