Actor Tejasswi Prakash has publicly defended her partner, Karan Kundrra, addressing long-standing rumors regarding his past relationship with VJ Anusha Dandekar. The revelation came during an episode of Desi Bling (a Dubai Bling spin-off), which premiered on Netflix on May 20, 2026.
Tejasswi’s Stance: “We All Have Our Pasts”
When questioned on the reality show about the cheating allegations that surfaced following Karan’s 2020 breakup with Anusha, Tejasswi emphasized trust and privacy within their relationship:
-
Transparency Over Public Perception: Tejasswi stated that Karan prioritized clearing the air with her directly rather than fighting public speculation.
-
In Her Words:
“We all have our pasts. Somebody’s past is out there in public. Whether he 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.’”
The Backstory: Anusha Dandekar’s Previous Claims
Karan Kundrra and Anusha Dandekar dated for over three years before parting ways in 2020. Following the split, Anusha heavily implied infidelity on her YouTube channel, Unverified – The Podcast, detailing a highly specific incident:
-
The Campaign Irony: Anusha claimed that while they were securely booked as the joint faces of a dating app campaign, her partner used that very app to connect with other women.
-
The Allegation: She alleged discovering much later that he was stepping out on the relationship extensively throughout Mumbai during their time together.
A Major Milestone for “Tejran”
Despite the retrospective drama, the couple—who first met and fell in love on Bigg Boss 15 in 2021—reached a major milestone on the Netflix reality show. After over four years of dating, the latest episode of Desi Bling featured Karan going down on one knee to propose to Tejasswi, sealing a major moment for the fan-favorite TV couple.
