Shake has been criticised in how he described Deepti’s physical appearance on the show, often lamenting the lack of sexual attraction and even comparing her to his “aunt” on one occasion.
It’s something Deepti felt was troublesome, deciding to leave Shake at the altar during their wedding day.
Deepti herself has since spoken out about how disappointed she was when she watched some of Shake’s comments to camera when the programme dropped on Netflix.
“Shake and I had conversations about how physical intimacy and that chemistry was lacking between us,” she told BuzzFeed.
“But to watch it back and see how he did it — it was kind of like, 'Oh, look at me, I'm this cool dude that's just gonna talk s**t about you to my friends.'
“You don't talk about somebody who is your fiancée, let alone a best friend — or even just a real friend — that way."
Deepti’s family were also thoroughly unimpressed with Shake’s behaviour. Taking to Instagram, Deepti’s older brother Sunny wrote: “Now normally I don’t get involved in drama but I’mma defend my sister here: ‘Shake’, you’re a loser.
“You minimised my sister’s life by making some awful and cringeworthy comments about her. You made these statements knowing your own mom would one dat watch it; my parents and my entire family had to sut through you talking behind my sister’s back about insecurities she faced her entire life.”
Sunny continued: “In spite of your best efforts to pretend this was all fictional and it was because of the ‘edit’, no one forced you to say those words. We welcomed you into our home and you saw it as an opportunity for clout; so forgive me if I’m not sympathetic towards you and the hate you’re receiving.
“Good luck with the rest of your life; and stay the f*** away from my sister.”
Looks like that reunion show is going to be #awks.
Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix.
