Tejasswi Prakash on Karan Kundrra's past relationships

Before Tejasswi, Karan was in a relationship with VJ Anusha Dandekar. During a podcast last year, Anusha accused Karan of cheating on her. When asked about it on the show, Tejasswi defended Karan and said, "We all have our pasts. Somebody's past is out there in public. Whether he has cheated or not, again, we don't know, because he has told me. He thought, ‘I don't care if the world knows, you need to know the real thing.'"

Responding to repeated questions about marriage, Tejasswi said, "I have a boyfriend, but it is not necessary that I get married. I mean, of course, it affects me. I do think about whether it is time for us to get married. Even I don't know if I'm getting engaged. I feel like we have been living together, we are spending time together, and it has been so smooth. I am not clingy, I don't want to be."

About Anusha Dandekar's allegation

Anusha and Karan dated for three-and-a-half years before breaking up in 2020. Last year, Anusha reflected on her past relationship and revealed on a podcast, "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, to do the campaign with me. It was the most he had ever been paid for a campaign in his life. And he used the dating app to talk to and meet girls while we were doing the campaign together."
