Love Is Blind: Shake Defends Physical Attraction Views In Reunion Preview
In the latest sneak peek for the Love Is Blind season 2 reunion special, Abhishek «Shake» Chatterjee is doubling down on his controversial stance on physical attraction. Shake has become rather infamous online for his behavior in the latest season of Love Is Blind. Starting out in the pods, he rubbed women the wrong way by constantly asking them questions that alluded to their weight. The show doesn't ignore physical attraction but tries to create an environment where it comes secondary to a couple's core connection, something Shake was trying to skip over as he kept asking woman after woman if he would be able to lift them, in an effort to see if they were skinny enough for him.
No one was more offended by this than his soon-to-be fiancé, Deepti Vempati, who called it out right away. Once Shake realized his tactic wasn't as subtle as he hoped, he began to apologize to Deepti. The two did find common ground within their cultural background and ended up getting engaged. When they met for the first time, Shake even seemed overjoyed by how beautiful Deepti was, but this didn't last long. Seemingly out of nowhere, Shake began telling everyone from the cast and the crew and even to his own mother that while Deepti was pretty, he wasn't sexually attracted to her. This did not sit well with Shake's mother, who clearly sided with Deepti, saying, "She doesn't deserve someone who gives her even half a percent less." This line of conversation continued all the way up until the wedding day, with Shake even telling his groomsman about the problem. Despite Shakes' issues, it was Deepti who rejected him at the altar, instead deciding to choose herself over someone who makes her feel less-than.
