Starting with where the duo met for the first time, Kalki wrote, “We met at a petrol station on the way to the Dead Sea and started a conversation that lasted us several years of togetherness and a baby. We did the Bombay-Jerusalem commute every month for a couple of years where I used to pack fresh coconuts in my suitcase to Israel and he brought kilos of oranges and avocados to India (sic).”
Sharing an adorable photo with Guy, she further spoke about how they overcome cultural differences through food. She wrote, “He got me to eat middle-eastern salad for breakfast, I got him to eat three regular meals a day. He learned to make biryani and I, shakshuka. He took Hindi classes and watched French films, I started online Hebrew classes and learned to listen to western classical music. He likes his coffee with cardamom, I like my chai with milk and sugar (sic).”
Talking about her interfaith love story and how they don’t follow any religious rites, she continued further, “He’s Jewish, part Russian, part Polish, part Iranian. I’m of French origin, born and brought up in India. My first name is Hindu, my last name is Protestant. We have a daughter with a Greek name to whom we speak in Hebrew, French, Hindi, and Tamil. We don’t follow any religious rites at home but we share our different customs and food. We fight every day about whose turn it is to do the dishes and we always split our dessert into equal parts (sic).”
In the end, it’s the love that counts and it’s beyond any religion, caste, or creed. It’s always about being with the right person over dating or marrying into the same religion. What matters is being a good human being and respecting each other’s views.
Sending only love and good wishes to this duo.
