Love Is Blind star Abhishek ‘Shake’ Chatterjee defiantly defended himself after critics slammed his behavior toward his fiancee Deepti Vempati. 

On Tuesday, the 33-year-old veterinarian posted a video on his Instagram page and expressed his thoughts on the controversy.  

‘I mentioned earlier that there are certainly things that I want to work on for myself or get better at but one thing I don’t feel inclined to do is to pretend I’m sad or sorry about certain things — certain things that were out of my control, certain things that I can’t necessarily even speak about,’ Shake said.

‘I’m just not going to do that. I’m not sorry. I’m not sorry.’

The part-time DJ, who was seen shirtless as he walked around his apartment in the clip, continued, ‘I think I handled the situation as best as anybody in my situation could.

‘And at the end of the day, I’m going to live my best life going forward. And you don’t have to like me. Only I have to like me, thankfully. And that’s real life.’

Shake and Deepti, who starred on the show’s second season, appeared to share a strong emotional connection but he expressed to others that he did not feel a strong physical attraction to her. 

In one episode, Shake told fellow cast member Jarrette Jones, ‘I’m not physically attracted to her, man. It feels like I’m with my aunt or something.’ 

Deepti eventually left Shake at the altar during the show’s finale last Friday.

Deepti said, ‘Shake and I had conversations about how physical intimacy and that chemistry was lacking between us.

‘But to watch it back and see how he did it — it was kind of like, ‘Oh, look at me, I’m this cool dude that’s just gonna talk s**t about you to my friends.’ 

 

‘You don’t talk about somebody who is your fiancé, let alone a best friend — or even just a real friend — that way.’ 

 She added, ‘It was kind of disappointing and hard to watch, especially because my parents were so impacted by it. We welcomed him into our home.’       

Meanwhile, Deepti’s brother revealed he is ‘proud’ of her for ending her relationship with Shake.  

The reality star’s sibling, Sunny Vempati and his partner, Hina, called out Shake for ‘making some awful and cringeworthy comments about her.’

‘Deepu, we are SO incredibly proud of you!!! We’ve witnessed you grow into such an incredible and beautiful woman, you’ve inspired so many people to realize their self worth and demand what they deserve and settle for nothing less,’ the couple began in a statement via Instagram on Saturday.

They continued: ‘We wish you didn’t pick that [clown] but despite his childishness, you carried yourself with grace and continued to see the good in people.’ 

Nodding to the remarks Shake made about not being attracted to Deepti,  Sunny said he doesn’t ordinarily ‘get involved in drama’ but was had to defend his sister. 

‘Bruh, you’re a loser,’ he fired. ‘You minimized my sister’s life by making some awful and cringeworthy comments about her. You made these statements knowing your own mom would one day watch it; my parents and my entire family had to sit through you talking behind my sister’s back about insecurities she fought her entire life.’

Sunny continued: ‘Despite your comments on and off camera about her body, she continued to only ever be supportive of you, despite our best efforts to convince her to see through your BS. THAT’S the person she is.’

‘In spite of your best efforts to pretend this was all fictional and it was because of the ‘edit’, no one forced you to say those words. We welcomed you into our home, and you saw it as an opportunity for clout; so forgive me if I’m not sympathetic towards you and the hate you’re receiving,’ he concluded.  

In his final sentence, Sunny wrote: ‘Good luck with the rest of your life and stay the f**k away from my sister.’
