Well, no one ever imagined that the one love story to come out of this season would be of Namastey London actor, Upen Patel, and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi star, Karishma Tanna.
Since the beginning of the show, Karishma had maintained her “I-have-a-boyfriend-outside” status quite openly; and Upen, like we said before, had flirted with almost every other contestant out there. But, slowly Upen and Karishma’s friendship and proximity grew to an extent that Upen came back on the show after his eviction. He just wanted a chance to declare his feelings for Karishma and to woo her off her feet. And, by the end of the show, he quite successfully did that as well.
Well, after the end of the show, their fans even gave this jodi a cute nickname- UpMa!

And, now Upen Patel and Karishma Tanna will be seen giving relationship advice to 8 real life couples on a new reality show for MTV called Love School.

Throughout this year, rumours have been rife about UpMa walking down the aisle soon. However, the couple haven't yet made their plans official. When asked about the same, Upen had this to say:
“We are prepared for marriage, it’s just that we haven’t fixed a date as yet.”
