In 2014, after participating in Bigg Boss 8, Karishma Tanna had met actor, Upen Patel, and their PDA on the show had grabbed the headlines. Their fans had started calling them ‘UpMa’ and their steamy lip-lock inside the Bigg Boss house had skyrocketed the TRP. Upen was seen wearing his heart for Karishma during the show and when he had re-entered the house for the actress, the two had made their relationship official.
After Bigg Boss, Upen and Karishma had participated in Nach Baliye 7 where he had proposed to her on national television to marry him. The two had also hosted MTV’s show, Love School and their fans were eagerly waiting for them to tie the knot. However, in 2016, the two had mutually decided to part ways.
Upen Patel had decided to announce the news of their breakup on Twitter. He had shared two tweets, announcing the same. His first tweet had read:
“2 much has come 2light & shown its true colours. love is never easy and when a certain foundation is broken it's impossible 2move forward.”
In another tweet, Upen had confirmed the news of their break-up, stating that they had mutually agreed to part ways. His tweet could be read as:
“Me and Karishma have both agreed to part ways. Thank you for all your love.”
On the other hand, Karishma Tanna had kept mum over their split for quite a long time. In 2016, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Karishma had opened about her relationship with Upen Patel. She had revealed the reason behind their break-up and had said:
“Sometimes there is no answer to what went wrong. Sometimes two wonderful people or good souls are not meant to be together. That’s what happened to us. Upen is a wonderful soul. We connected very strongly, but things didn’t move the way we wanted it to. It’s not that I don’t want to settle down or I am jumping from one relationship to another. We both wanted to settle down, but if we don’t see our future together then its better to part ways.”
