"Love Is Blind" star Deepti Vempati charmed viewers with her intriguing journey with self-love in the Netflix series' second season!
Vempati, 31, was set to walk down the aisle with Abishek 'Shake' Chatterjee on the reality series, but as she and the viewers soon learned she and Chatterjee were absolutely not a match made in heaven.
Chatterjee shocked viewers with his frequent comments about his ex's physical appearance, and would regularly voice his opinions about his preferences for the opposite sex.
Since the second season premiered on Netflix earlier this winter, Vempati has regularly spoken about her journey with self-love and the lessons she has learned since leaving Chatterjee at the altar.
Moving On And Moving Forward: Inside Vempati's Experience Coming To Terms With Heartbreak
Vempati is understandably more than ready to move on from her "Love Is Blind" experience, and close the chapter involving Chatterjee once and for all!
Most recently, Vempati publicly spoke about the world's inability to allow her previous relationship to fade away.
According to The Blast's report from a month ago, Vempati spoke to E! and detailed the internet's fascination with preserving her defunct relationship.
"People would just be randomly tagging me in things," she revealed, "And I'm like, 'that's old energy that I don't need to deal with. It's time to move on and do fresh, new things.''
The reality star has also been forced to come to terms with the world's obsession with her physical appearance.
In June, Vempati took to social media to encourage the internet to lay off with the jabs concerning the size of her nose.
She and her extremely close friend and fellow "Love Is Blind" season two castmate Kyle Abrams, made a TikTok together where she addressed the matter.
According to our June report, Abrams made a few cracks at his own nose to appease the situation!
Vempati candidly told cyber-space, "You guys, this is my real nose. Stop making fun of it. This is how I was born. I'm not changing it," she passionately expressed per an Us Weekly article.
