Handshakes in a Party Puzzle

You went to a get together with your wife where three of your friends arrived with their spouses. One couple among your friends were "Raj" and "Kiran". When every one arrived, people shook hands with one another but nobody shook hand with oneself(naturally) or with one's own spouse.

After the party you spoke to each person(except yourself) and asked them how many people they had shaken hands with. Each person replied with a different number.

You shook hands with "Raj". The question is:
1. Did your wife also shake hands with Raj?
2. Did you or your wife shake hands with Kiran?
