Here’s Whether Shake & Deepti From ‘Love Is Blind’ Are Still Together After the Shocking Finale

After their rocky start in The Pods, viewers want to know if Shake and Deepti are still together from Love Is Blind season 2 or if they couldn’t look past their differences once they returned to the real world.

Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee and Deepti Vempati are two of 30-plus contestants on Love Is Blind season 2. Love Is Blind, which first premiered on Netflix in February 2020, follows 30 men and women over the course of 10 days as they speed-date in “Pods,” where they can talk to each other but not see each other. During the 10 days, the couples can decide if they want to get engaged—still sight unseen. After the proposal, the couples meet face-to-face for the first time and go on vacation at a resort in Mexico, where they learn more about each other and meet the other couples. After the trip, the couples, who all live in the same city, return to the real world and move into an apartment together as they meet each other’s families and friends and prepare for their weddings. At the altar on their wedding days, the couples must decide whether to marry or breakup as they answer the age-old question of if love can be truly blind.

Since the premiere of Love Is Blind, the show has become one of Netflix’s highest-rated series, with more than 30 million views in its first two months.”Across the world, everybody feels the same way: Everyone wants to be loved for who they are on the inside. It doesn’t matter where you live, what you look like, how old you are, what your background is, which class you know, or social structure you feel like you’re a part of, everyone wants to be loved for who they are,” creator Chris Coelen told Variety in 2020. “In today’s society we’ve got all these ways to find love through dating apps and technology. Those things sort of counterintuitively have made people feel disposable. They’ve made people feel like it’s all surface level. It does the opposite thing it was supposed to do. So we thought, what if we took everybody’s devices away, how could we get them to focus on connecting with other people?”

Coelen also told Variety about how the connections on Love Is Blind was based on choice, which is why the relationships were that much stronger. “It was incredibly scary because nobody had to do anything, versus a show like we do Married at First Sight, you sign up and you know, you’re getting married to a stranger. Here, nobody had to do anything. It was if you find someone, if you choose. Which is so scary. They don’t have to go through with the wedding ceremony,” he said. “But assuming they found someone, could that love overcome any judgment in the real world? That’s an incredibly fascinating question. And that’s what we set out to try to examine.”

Are Shake and Deepti still together from Love Is Blind season 2?

SPOILER: Are Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee and Deepti Vempat still together from Love Is Blind season 2? Deepti, a 31-year-old information data analyst, and Shake, a 33-year-old veterinarian and house DJ, met and got engaged in The Pods on Love Is Blind season 2, but broke up at their wedding during the finale when Shake couldn’t give Deepti the security she needed in their relationship. Though there were fans who wondered if Shake and Deepti got back together after Love Is Blind season 2 finished filming, Deepti’s brother, Sunny Vempati and his partner, Hina, confirmed that her family and Shake aren’t on good terms after what he said about Deepti on Love Is Blind.

“Deepu, we are SO incredibly proud of you!!! We’ve witnessed you grow into such an incredible and beautiful woman, you’ve inspired so many people to realize their self worth and demand what they deserve and settle for nothing less. We wish you didn’t pick that [clown] but despite his childishness, you carried yourself with grace and continued to see the good in people,” Sunny wrote in an Instagram post on February 2022. The post continued,“Now normally I don’t get involved in drama but I’mma defend my sister here: ‘Shake’, bruh, you’re a loser. You minimized my sister’s life by making some awful and cringeworthy comments about her. You made these statements knowing your own mom would one day watch it; my parents and my entire family had to sit through you talking behind my sister’s back about insecurities she fought her entire life. Despite your comments on and off camera about her body, she continued to only ever be supportive of you, despite our best efforts to convince her to see through your BS. THAT’S the person she is.” The message concluded: “In spite of your best efforts to pretend this was all fictional and it was because of the ‘edit’, no one forced you to say those words. We welcomed you into our home, and you saw it as an opportunity for clout; so forgive me if I’m not sympathetic towards you and the hate you’re receiving. Good luck with the rest of your life and stay the f–k away from my sister.”

During episode 1, Shake and Deepti, who are both of Indian descent, related over how they’ve mainly dated white people in the past. “You’ve never dated an Indian girl,” Deept asked Shake, to which he responded, “Honestly, no.” Deepti added, “That’s so funny. I also go for the blondes. I’ve actually only dated white guys before.” Shake then joked, “We’re both brown people who have only dated white people.” The conversation took a turn, however, when Shake asked Deepti if she liked music festivals and to be on her significant other’s shoulders. Deepti responded, “Yeah, you’re up for the challenge. You can pick me up?” Shake responded, “Yeah. But will I have trouble picking you up?” The question offended Deepti, who responded, “Actually, that comes off very superficial.” She added in a confessional interview, “Shake doesn’t understand how Love Is Blind is supposed to work here. The whole point is about finding out who we are as people. Not, can you carry me?”

Shake and Deepti’s relationship recovered, however, and they got engaged and met face-to-face for the first time before they went on a retreat in Mexico. During episode 4, Deepti and Shake reach a rough patch when Shake realizes how much faster Deepti is moving than him. “I’m trying to take it one hour at a time,” he said. He added in a confessional interview about how he wasn’t sure about his and Deepti’s physical connection. “First night together, honestly, feeling a little apprehensive. Spending that physical time touching one another. I don’t know if I’m feeling the type of body connection that I wanted to feel,” he said. “There’s things that I said like, ‘We’re gonna get married. We’re gonna have babies,’ and stuff like that and hearing that back from Deeps, at times, it feels amazing to hear that, but then at times, it feels really scary. There’s just moments where I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ Maybe this is a little commitment phobia rearing its head.”

Shake and Deepti broke up during their wedding in episode 10 after Deepti realized that Shake didn’t care as much about her as she did for him and couldn’t give her what she wanted. The episode saw Deepti leave the altar and reunite with her parents who told her how “proud” they were of her for her decision, as Shake stayed at the wedding and partied with the guests. At the time Love Is Blind season 2 premiered, Deepti and Shake both followed each other on Instagram. (They’ve since unfollowed each other.) Deepti also liked Shake’s Instagram post, where he announced that he was a part of the Love Is Blind season 2 cast. She also liked other Love Is Blind-themed Instagrams he’s posted.
