“We are nothing alike — the kind of people that we are, the kind of content that we watch, the kind of music that we listen to, the way we react to happy or tough situations, etc.”
Prajakta further admitted that their relationship had never been easy. However, they never gave up on each other despite the tough times. That commitment is what brought them to this point. As per reports, the 31-year-old YouTuber and actress will tie the knot in 2025.
