Why are you so desperate? Karishma Tanna asks Upen Patel!

Hey, can you please tell when was it said exactly? Did you yourself saw this lf or was it mentioned by someone else?

No doubt, this has helped him in image correction, plus some money for a vacation, but the way their scenes pan out, the understanding between them, the attraction doesn't seem unreal(except those cheesy and OTT scenes in which they rate each other). The tension and closeness between them was very evident in the last few days before Upen's eviction. Even Mahek has pointed out that Upen told her on Finale shoot to take care of Karishma and sent in a lot of stuff for her. So, it was clear he was head over heels for her plus he was insecure/unsure about her state of mind after her return.

Seeing the response and support KT is receiving outside, he would have rightly felt that KT might not acknowledge and reciprocate. Once she's out, she might get busy with her assignments, projects and life in general and will friend-zone him. If she can forget her bf in 3 months with him, she might come back to her old self in a month without him. So, I think it was a desperate last resort attempt on his part to woo the girl. He knows her inside out, all her good and bad points plus he has been single for last 3 years, probably looking for the right girl. And I think KT comes closest to what he would have wanted. How else can you really find that right partner than at the bIgg boss's house where you are holed up with others 24 hrs 3 months. It was certainly a selfish move but then he was looking at the bigger picture. Of course he ended up ruining KT's image in this process but then as they say, everything is fair in love and war.
