During a group interaction on the show, which premiered on Netflix on May 20, the couple faced repeated questions about marriage and engagement plans. Responding to the speculation, Tejasswi said, “I have a boyfriend, but it is not necessary that I get married. Of course, it affects me. I do think about whether it is time for us to get married. I don’t even know if I’m getting engaged.”

She added, “We have been living together, spending time together, and it has been so smooth. I am not clingy. I don’t want to be.”

Later in the episode, Tejasswi was asked about cheating allegations that had surfaced online in connection with Karan’s previous relationship. Addressing the matter, she said, “We all have our pasts. Somebody’s past is out there in public. Whether he cheated or not, we don’t know, because he has told me his side. He thought, ‘I don’t care if the world knows, you need to know the real thing.’”

About Karan-Anusha's relationship

Karan and Anusha dated for over three years before ending their relationship in 2020. While Anusha never named him directly, she spoke last year about being cheated on by a former boyfriend during an appearance on a podcast.

Recalling the incident during an interview, Anusha said, “The most incredible experience I had with dating apps was when I was signed to do campaigns for a dating app, and at the time, I got my boyfriend the deal as well. It was the most he had ever been paid for a campaign in his life.”

She further alleged, “He used the dating app to talk to and meet girls while we were doing the campaign together. We were supposed to be the faces of the campaign, but he was using it to talk to girls and meet girls, which I found out much later.”

The reality show episode also featured a major moment in Karan and Tejasswi’s relationship. After more than four years together, Karan proposed to Tejasswi on the show. He went down on one knee, said she had brought out the best in him, and proposed with a diamond ring.

Pictures and clips from the proposal soon went viral on social media. Shortly after, Anusha shared an Instagram note that read, “I am thanking God. #Iykyk.” Many online linked the post to Karan’s proposal and the renewed attention around his past relationship.
