You can’t argue with unreasonable people: Kashmera

Ever since Govinda’s wife, Sunita Ahuja, gave an explosive interview saying that their family has broken all ties with Govinda’s nephew, actor Krushna Abhishek, and his wife, actor Kashmera Shah, over a tweet from the latter (Kashmera had joked about ‘people who dance for money’, and Sunita felt it was about her family) things have turned ugly between the families. Recently, when Krushna was quizzed about it, he said that his wife was at fault and must apologise to Sunita. Now, Kashmera has decided to break her silence. Excerpts:

Are you upset that a family matter was brought out in the open?

I’m not upset with anyone anymore. It’s a waste of my time. You can’t argue with unreasonable people. If I put up a post last year, which was not even for them, why didn’t they clear this with me then instead of bringing it up a year later? I’m a logical woman and won’t resort to washing dirty linen in public. I have enemies that I don’t care about.

Sunita said that there’s no scope for reconciliation this time. What do you have to say?

That’s her decision and it’ll change according to her mood. I can’t live my life according to anyone else’s schedule. I’m busy with my two small kids, besides directing my film.

Did you confront Krushna on why he changed his stand and said that you were at fault?

Krushna is caught in the middle of an unreasonable couple [Govinda and Sunita] and his strong wife. I stand by him because I know he has to take a stand for his family even if they’re wrong. He told me that he’s being hassled and that Govinda is angry because Krushna had earlier said that Sunita was wrong. He’s being pressured by someone to say this, or else why would Krushna want to look like a spineless person just 10 days after saying that I wasn’t at fault.

Sunita said that they wouldn’t have come to your kids’ first birthday party even if invited, because of your behaviour...

I have no idea what behaviour she is talking about. Our kids were born a year ago and they never came to see them in the hospital, not even when one of them was fighting for his life. Why drag them now in this unhealthy environment? My kids may grow up not knowing a couple of family members but I am okay with that now.

Do you feel all this family drama is affecting your marriage?

Nothing will affect my marriage. We’ve been through hell and back in the past two years. We have a new family and I want to bring up my boys in a world with no hatred.
