Shake Chatterjee Says Deepti Vempati Plays 'Victim' After 'Love is Blind' Season 2
Love Is Blind made Shake and Deepti instant reality stars during Season 2 when they got engaged. But it wasn't long before viewers turned on Shake after seeing him say several disrespectful things about Deepti behind his back. At one point, he told his co-star that he didn't find Deepti "physically attractive" and "I feel like I'm with my aunt or something."
The 31-year-old IT analyst was unaware of Shake's comments before the episodes aired. But luckily, she called off the wedding because he didn't have what she was looking for in a life partner.
During a recent appearance on The Domenick Nati Show, Shake accused his ex of playing the "victim" since the end of Season 2.
"I'm like, hurt, that she was playing this victim thing so hard when we had so much fun, and I took [such] good care of her," Shake said.
He has a new girlfriend, but can't stop talking about Deepti Vempati
Shake revealed that he and Deepti had spoken since the Love Is Blind season 2 reunion. But he doubled down on his comments about his attraction to his ex. Shake said he "wasn't attracted enough" to Deepti to "make that commitment to her."
The vet also opened up about his new girlfriend Emily Wilson, who he just went Instagram official with. He says that despite their relationship being so new, they have already talked about marriage.
"We talked about it, yeah," Shake said. "I mean, not like when are we getting married, but rather, I'm not going to spend my time with someone I'm not ready to fully commit to now." Like, I'm not going to make it official with someone I'm not ready to be serious with.
'Love is Blind' Star Shake Says He Wants a 'Forever Partner'
Shake insists he was "ready to get married" when he appeared on Love Is Blind season 2. And while things didn't work out with Deepti, he's still at some point in his life where he is ready for his "forever partner".
"...I want a forever partner and basically [Emily and I] kind of cut those points down pretty quickly," he said. “Let me just say, this is the happiest I've ever been. I am totally in love,” he said.
Meanwhile, Deepti has sparked romance rumors with compatriot Kyle Abrams. He proposed to Shaina Hurley on the show, but they ended up calling off their engagement. During the Season 2 reunion, Kyle confessed to hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey that he should have proposed Deepti instead of Shaina.
Kyle and Deepti have not gone public with their alleged romance. But they were recently spotted walking around Chicago together.
Love is Blind seasons 1 and 2 are available on Netflix.
