Their friendship slowly turned into a romantic relationship but later, they went through many struggles to enter marital bliss. Apparently, Arpitha's parents didn't accept their love, and she was even beaten by her family members for going against them to marry Keerthi.

These questions were haunted…” he wrote in a note on Instagram in February 2023. However, he deleted the post later from his Instagram account.
