In a recent interview, Karan and Tejasswi opened up about how their romance began and also shared details about their marriage plans.
During a candid chat with Angad Bedi and Neha Dhupia on their YouTube podcast, the duo was asked about the timeline of their relationship. “That (Bigg Boss) is where the fondness started,” Karan smiled and said. Tejasswi chimed in, “When he said that he likes me, I really felt like he seems really honest. I took my time to really test him. I just wanted to make sure that he really means what he is saying, and he proved it every time.”
Tejasswi Prakash’s parents were supportive
Karan Kundrra went on to reveal that Tejasswi Prakash’s mother pushed them to move in together before marriage. “Her mother said that she doesn’t trust her daughter at all, and I should take time to think about her, because she isn’t fine. Her father was okay with our relationship.”
