Warning! SPOILERS ahead for Love Is Blind season 2 episodes 1-9 below!

After struggling to break through over the course of the season, Shake finally broke down and showed some very real vulnerability to Deepti Vempati on Love Is Blind season 2 episode 9. Fans were introduced to Deepti as a 31-year-old data analyst and Abhishek Chatterjee a.k.a. Shake as a 32-year-old veterinarian and house DJ.
