Recent allegations have surfaced regarding the relationship between Anusha Dandekar and Karan Kundrra, leading to a renewed wave of discussion and controversy surrounding their 2020 breakup. The catalyst for this resurgence is a resurfaced video clip from Anusha's YouTube podcast, "Unverified," where she indirectly accused an ex-partner of infidelity. While Dandekar did not explicitly name Karan Kundrra, she alluded to him "sleeping with all of Mumbai" during their relationship.
In the podcast, Dandekar recounted an experience where she and her then-boyfriend were signed to do a campaign for a dating app. She claimed that her boyfriend used the app to communicate with and meet other women, despite them being the faces of the campaign together. Dandekar expressed feeling betrayed upon discovering this alleged infidelity.
Karan Kundrra responded to these allegations via an Instagram post, which he later deleted. In the post, Kundrra questioned why "cruel elite women" with connections to Bollywood families are able to make accusations without facing consequences. He expressed frustration over what he perceives as systemic harassment and mental badgering. Kundrra also alluded to the impact of such accusations on men, suggesting that they can erode confidence and fracture strength.
The online response to the controversy has been divided, with fans taking sides and reacting to the accusations and defenses. Many have speculated that Dandekar's comments were indeed directed at Kundrra, pointing to the fact that the two were once brand ambassadors for the dating app Bumble.
Dandekar and Kundrra were in a relationship for three and a half years, from 2016 to 2020. During their time together, they co-hosted the reality show MTV Love School, where they helped other couples resolve their relationship issues. In 2021, when asked about the reason for their breakup, Dandekar stated that she "chose" herself, implying a need for more honesty, love, and happiness. She has also previously hinted at being cheated on and lied to, which Kundrra has denied.
Kundrra, in past interviews, has refrained from discussing the details of their breakup out of respect for the relationship. He is currently dating actress Tejasswi Prakash, whom he met on Bigg Boss 15.
This recent controversy has brought renewed attention to Dandekar and Kundrra's past relationship and breakup. Dandekar has spoken about the challenges of being open about her personal life and the criticism she faced after the breakup. She has also emphasized the importance of taking accountability for making relationships public.
