Anusha Dandekar faces backlash after a viral podcast clip discussing situationships, reigniting controversy over her past with Karan Kundrra and allegations of cheating.
Anusha Dandekar and Karan Kundrra were in a relationship earlier.
Anusha Dandekar is trending again, and this time, it’s because of something she said on her podcast that’s got the internet buzzing. A clip from her show, where she opens up about what she thinks a “situationship” is, has gone viral and fans aren’t holding back. Many feel she admitted to using her ex, Karan Kundrra, for perks like trips, parties, and, well… more intimate things.
Old clip of Anusha Dandekar goes viral
In the episode, Anusha offered her definition of a situationship, saying, “For me it is like a placeholder, you are warming the seat until the better option comes along. It’s basically like you are filling that gap with a temporary person, using them for your weddings, companionship, travel, birthdays, exciting things, sex, whatever. You are still waiting for that better person to come along. And you can say, ‘This is just a situationship’. And once the better person comes along, then you move the placeholder out and the real relationship begins. That’s what I think is situationship.”
An edited portion of the discussion circulated widely on social media, leading to criticism from users who interpreted her words as suggesting she had used Karan Kundrra.
Netizens bash her
“She was never in love, used guys for sex, birthday, travels and then moved to next,” one user wrote on X. Another commented, “The whole episode is embarrassing, she keeps on repeating how all her past relationships were just to temporarily fill a void. You do you girl but then why drag others.”
Other responses were more direct, with one saying, “Admitting all her relationships were actually situationship for her.. Anusha Dandekar is disgusting.. no respect for any person or relation.” Another user added, “So her bf was using the same dating app they were promoting together to find new girls while she was just using him for sex, free trips and gifts and waiting to find someone better! Audacity to call her bf cheater. Peak feminism.”
Anusha has not publicly responded to the viral clip as of now.
Background: Relationship with Karan Kundrra
Anusha and Karan were reportedly in a relationship from 2016 to 2019, before officially ending things in late 2020. In previous interviews, Anusha hinted at infidelity being a factor in their breakup, stating that she was cheated on and lied to, which impacted her self-respect.
On her YouTube podcast Unverified – The Podcast, she recently spoke about a campaign she did for the dating app Bumble, where she revealed that her then-boyfriend had also joined the project. She said,
“The most he’s ever been paid for this campaign, ever in life. And he used the dating app to talk and meet with girls, and we’re doing the campaign together.”
She further commented, “Apparently, I am the gold digger. Even though I used to give him work. He would tell people that he is with me just for work.”
Anusha added that while they were both representing the app, she later discovered that he had been using it to meet other women, “Like, we are supposed to be the faces together, but he’s using it to talk to girls and meet girls, which I found out much later when I found out he was sleeping with all of Mumbai.”
Karan Kundrra is currently in a relationship with actress Tejasswi Prakash, whom he met during their time on Bigg Boss 15.
