In an interview with PEOPLE’s Every Day podcast, Deepti shares her views on Shake’s apology. She explains that she didn’t take Shake’s criticism by heart. She said, “I don’t fault Shake for not finding me physically attractive or having that chemistry. Like, you can’t really fault someone for that. If you have a connection, you have a connection. If not, at least we built a friendship and a bond.” 

She further added Shake is not the physical type that she normally goes for. She says, “I had reservations also. It’s not like it was just like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so confident in that this is going to be it.’”
