Shake made headlines after he made a connection with Deepti in the “Love Is Blind” pods during Season 2, but continuously told the other contestants on the show that he wasn’t attracted to her. Vempati eventually caught wind of his behavior, and turned him down at the altar.
He went on to publicly apologize, posting on Instagram, "I'm sorry, @lifewithdeeps. I'm ready to take accountability for my actions and be better. While I've reached out privately, I think it's also important I apologize publicly for the sake of your family and friends that I've upset as well."

Meanwhile, Deepti may have found love as well after reconnecting with fellow contestant Kyle Abrams after the show.
Deepti told Elite Daily, “Kyle and I, we are figuring it out. Not a lot of people know that we had a really strong connection in the pods.”
In the “Love Is Blind” reunion, Kyle opened up about one major regret, saying, “I have a huge regret. Biggest regret is I should have asked Deepti to marry me. That’s what I learned the most. I f**ked up. I should have tried harder for you. I love her so much, she’s the best. And I wish I saw what was right in front of me and that’s my biggest regret. I’m sorry… Yeah, and it pisses me off because [Shake] wasted such a good opportunity.”

Of the future, she said, “We'll see where life takes us.”
Vempati also explained why her relationship with Shake didn’t work, stressing, “I started to realize, you know, towards our last couple of dates that… there's so many qualities that I'm looking for in a husband that he doesn't have, one of them being self-awareness.”
Deepti discussed “getting signs” that the relationship wasn’t going to work, saying, “Someone should make me feel differently. They should make me feel loved, and I wasn't getting that from him. It was very, you know, surface-level.”
In his interview with Katie, Kyle also noted that he was “single,” as well as explaining why he regretted proposing to Shaina.
He admitted, “It was the one [engagement] I was willing to do. Like, I’ve been pressured in past relationships… but now this time, I went for it and it didn’t work out.”
He described his current relationship with Shaina as “strangers,” like the engagement “never even happened.”
