Anusha Dandekar, the popular VJ and actress, has recently addressed her past relationship with Karan Kundrra and the subsequent breakup, which remained a topic of public discussion for quite some time. In a recent interview, Dandekar opened up about the consequences of making personal relationships public, the challenges of maintaining privacy, and the mixed reactions she faced online.

Dandekar and Kundrra, who co-hosted the reality show MTV Love School, reportedly dated for approximately 3-5 years before ending their relationship in late 2020 or early 2021. Dandekar confirmed their split with an Instagram post, expressing that she had given her all to the relationship but had been cheated on and lied to, also mentioning that she never received an apology. While she didn't explicitly name Kundrra in the recent interview, she alluded to their shared history on the "love show," acknowledging the public nature of their romance.

Dandekar stated that she doesn't entirely blame the media for the attention her breakup received. She explained that by sharing aspects of her life on Instagram and hosting a show about love, she willingly opened herself up to public scrutiny. Dandekar believes that if the public is aware of a relationship, they deserve to know about the breakup as well. She stated, "I am not going to blame only the media. We are accountable; we made it public. You are on your Instagram, showing it off, and it is public. You made a decision to make it public. You have to have a balance of privacy and publicity. But you have to take the hits when it is not working out".

Dandekar also addressed the criticism she faced after the breakup, noting that while she received a great deal of support, she was also subjected to hate, surprisingly often from other women. She found this particularly perplexing. Despite the challenges, Dandekar said she felt relieved to be out of the situation.

Karan Kundrra, in an earlier interview, responded to Dandekar's allegations of cheating by refuting them and emphasizing his respect for her and their relationship. He stated that he chose to remain silent "out of respect for the relationship" and that he didn't want to say anything that could hurt either family. Kundrra has been in a relationship with actress Tejasswi Prakash since 2021, after they met on Bigg Boss 15.

Dandekar's willingness to speak openly about her experiences reflects her belief in being authentic with her audience. She acknowledged that being a "Love Professor" on television meant sharing her own imperfections and struggles, and showing her followers that "stuff doesn't work out for me either". Dandekar's sister, Shibani Dandekar, previously commented on the breakup, acknowledging it was a difficult period for Anusha and praising her for taking a stand for herself despite being in the public eye.

Anusha Dandekar continues to focus on her career and personal growth. Her openness about her past relationship serves as a reminder of the complexities of navigating love and loss in the public sphere.
