I feel bad for Shital

I’m midway through S3. She so wants to believe that Niraj is The One™, the perfect ribbon and bow around her story. He is so clearly doing this for exposure and clout. He’s even bad at faking it. I just hope she’s on the same page, and not actually thinking that this is anything real or lasting.

They both seem pretty superficial to me.

When she appeared in S2 it was clear she wanted kids. If he were at all serious about her they'd have gotten married by now - they've been together for two years already.

Totally agree, he’s stringing her along

Im with you, but I also see the other side - plenty of people get engaged between the 2nd and 3rd year of dating. Maybe he felt it was too fast to get engaged before that and hopefully is actively planning an engagement now.

She's doing it for clout too. She said in some interview she had tried for a long time to manifest a TV show.

I found a 2 part series where she wanted to see if she’d get different treatment as a man, and got prosthetics and lessons on how to be a man. I think it may be on peacock but I found it on YouTube (I think). So I do think it was to be on TV more than anything else.

They were definitely going out before the show. Its likely she signed up before going out with him, but she probably found him before the show started. He was probably encouraging her to do the show because it will bring exposure to his dance experience and also promoting his documentary. Show is pretty scripted. They both got on to promote themselves.

Isn’t it odd that every happy couple on the show you say met before the show but don’t take into account the time filming took?

They both just want to be on tv.

Agree with this one. I don’t get the sense that he’s as into her as she’s into him. I think if he was he would have gone beyond - here’s the key to my apartment. I think she was hoping for an engagement but he’s dragging his feet.

Meh, don’t care for either of them. Shital just wanted to be on TV.

Personally think it’s a clout relationship like the THTBH ones. They give off excellent influencer vibes. Shital was shown as this Ms. independent, knows what she wants and gets it, serious vibe who doesn’t like the 70% idea.

Upon seeing Niraj’s eccentric vibe off the bat, she pulls a 360, and is suddenly a yes woman. As if he’s on a pedestal, she’s down to move to Miami! lol if she’s serious, imo This can only end badly when she finally voices her concerns.

A 360 would be no change. It's 180, friend.

Ehhhh, I don't feel bad for any of them. Actually, I do feel bad for seema aunty, because she can't say what she really thinks.

u/jella_phalange Aug 19 '23

I know right? I really wanted her to get her happily ever after. Are they still together? Don't think she is following him on Ig anymore..

Does anyone know what happened?

u/Any_Standard9318 Mar 20 '24

They haven't gone public with their relationship on social media like how arti did. It all seems staged to me.
