Love isnt blurry for those of us obsessed withDeepti Vempati.
And apparently that was just the watered-down version.
I dont mind if someone is not physically attracted to you.
Chemistry should be natural, and you shouldnt have to force that, Vempati told Vulture over Zoom.
But its the way you talk about somebody that really speaks to your character.
And I think he disrespected me.
At the reunion, Shake was so out of line he made Shaynes behavior seem normal.
Happily ever after in this case was actually just some veterinarians Joker origin story.
And to talk to Shake and let him know my feelings watching the show.
It was a nice, healing moment.
Now that the show aired, theres no hope for a friendship there.
The reunion gave us an opportunity to see the bonds you have with your other cast members.
Even during filming and off camera, he would talk to them about it.
He distanced himself more on the intimacy level.
But we were building such a friendship and such a bond.
We had good conversations.
How did it feel to watch the reunion drama?
I was shocked Nick Lachey didnt tackle Shake.Yes, yes!
Theyre watching the show just like the rest of the world.
They thought they saw some growth in Shake.
I dont need to change.
I want to be myself.
It was shocking for us to hear that.
Vanessa brought up his mom taking your side.
And I do, too.
Shes such a sweetheart.
It was really cool to see her also be supportive because she understands.
And he admitted, Yeah, I do love my mom, but my viewpoint is opposing.
Its interesting to see the balance.
One of the most exciting moments was Kyle professing his love for you!
He was my No.
2 person, so it wasnt out of the blue.
We do have this foundational bond.
It was heartwarming and so sweet to hear.
Were playing with them a little bit, but its funny.
Kyle and I have such a beautiful friendship.
Were just figuring it out.
One comment I keep seeing is Deepti forBachelorette.
Netflix also has a million dating shows.
It would have to be the right dating show.
I cant be kissing a bunch of guys onscreen.
Thats why I didLove Is Blind.
I dont know Im open to it!
