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.” [6] [5]citation |

- One of the reasons in their troubled married life was Kashmera’s closeness with 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…”

- After staying in a live-in relationship for many years Kashmera and Krushna got secretly married in June 2012. They kept it secret for two years until Kashmera was spotted wearing a sindoor in an event in 2014. The couple got married in Las Vegas, where she had married her first husband. 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 and Krushna were blessed with twin boys; Rayaan and Krishaang in 2017 through surrogacy. In an interview, she said that Salman Khan had suggested her to go for surrogacy. She talked about the reason behind adopting 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.”

I have never cheated on Krushna. Yes, I did cheat on Brad (Listermann) by falling in love with Krushna, but I told him of this immediately as I loved Brad as a person too much to keep him in the dark. I went through hell because I was honest. I lost my worldly possessions like my house and my car but I got love instead… not a bad bargain!
- She is an animal lover, and her cats’ names are Mercy, Mercedes, Chanel, and Manya, and her dogs’ names are Bhatku and Boo.
- In ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ in 2020, she appeared as a guest in which she talked about her first meeting with Krushna, she said,
Before we landed on the sets of a film we were to do together, I didn’t even know him (Krushna). I knew I was to work with Govinda’s nephew in the film, that’s all. I never carried high heels hence. It was a one-night stand for both of us.” Maine isko pucha tha ki which is your forthcoming film? Toh isk jawab aaya tha ki ye meri 4th nahi ye meri third film hai.”
