Overview
- Kundrra said he discussed his proposal plans with his parents and siblings, and that revealing this sparked heavy online criticism.
- In interviews he defended consulting family as a normal step for major life decisions, asking rhetorically, “If you do not ask your parents or siblings, whom will you ask?”
- Kundrra said Tejasswi Prakash had no objection to his approach and described the backlash as coming largely from anonymous social media users rather than people close to the couple.
- He mocked critics with a reference to the Kardashians to underline a contrast between Western celebrity norms and Indian family expectations, and insisted parents retain an important place after a partner enters one’s life.
- Kundrra repeated that marriage with Tejasswi is likely in the future and that the couple will marry when they feel the timing and plan are right, while warning that anti-family narratives online could influence young people.
