Relationship, Husband & Children

In 2002, she got married to the Hollywood producer, Brad Listermann at Las Vegas whom she met through an online dating website. Just after meeting once face to face, they decided to tie the knot at Las Vegas. Kashmera had to travel to India for her work from the USA. A story similar to her love affair with Brad is narrated in the Hindi-English film, ‘My Bollywood Bride’ or ‘My Faraway Bride’ which is produced by Brad Listermann and Kashmera is the lead actress in this film.

Later, in 2006 there were rumours that she had left Brad which later, turned out to be true. In an interview, Kashmera said,

He started bringing his work home. He is too much of a perfectionist. He re-shot many scenes. My Bollywood Bride became more important to him than me.”

Apart from their personal and professional misunderstandings, there was another reason for their separation, and it was her closeness with the popular Indian comedian, Krushna Abhishek. In an interview, Kashmera said,

I told Brad that I was getting the same feelings for Krishna which I had once for him. He told me that it was infatuation. I tried to confirm and held myself back; I reasoned with myself that it could be the excitement of returning to films which I was misreading as love…”

While she was in India shooting for the film, ‘Aur Pappu Pass Ho Gaya’ (2006) in Jaipur, she met Krushna for the first time.

Soon, they became friends and fall in love with each other, In 2007, Kashmera got divorced from her first husband, Brad. While she was in ‘Bigg Boss’ house (2006-2007) as a contestant, she talked about her love affair with Krushna. In 2007, Krushna proposed Kashmera for marriage in the couple dance reality show, Nach Baliye amid the rumours of Krushna’s closeness with the Bollywood actress, Tanushree Dutta. Kashmera had confronted Tanushree Dutta while they met at an airport.

After living in a live-in relationship for many years, the couple secretly got married in June 2012. Their secret wedding came into the eyes of the public when in 2014 she was spotted wearing sindoor. In an interview, Kashmera and Krushna said,

We got married at 11.30 am at a church one hour away from Las Vegas. We didn’t even have the time to do proper shopping.”

Kashmera got married to Krushna in Las Vegas, where she had married her first husband.  In 2017, she was blessed with twin boys; Rayaan and Krishaang through surrogacy. In an interview, Kashmera shared why she opted for surrogacy, she said,

I had been trying to conceive for three years but it didn’t work out. It was tough as my twin babies weren’t conceived naturally. I had lost my health. My body went for a toss during the IVF process. I had 14 failed attempts at having kids. The IVF injections are no less than actually being a mother in the pregnancy stage. You have mood swings, put on weight, get annoyed just like any would-be mother. It becomes difficult to lose weight because it’s not natural. My doctor would tell me how I was losing out on my health and becoming extremely temperamental.”

There was a tweet. He (Govinda) wasn’t coming to my show, The Drama Company. I talked to mami (Govinda’s wife Sunita) about it and told them that you guys went to Kapil Sharma’s show and you need to come to my show as well. People are asking me. Then they came and it was a fantastic episode. But then, Kashmera tweeted something wrong for my sister. Govinda thought it was for them. I tried to clarify, but mami got angry. Then I decided to not get in between mami and Kashmera. Then it was the first birthday of my kid. They didn’t come for it, and then I got upset. My mother has raised Govinda ji, so I have all the rights to be upset with him.”
