Fans were quick to pick up on the awkward scenes
*Warning: Contains spoilers for Love Is Blind UK Season 2*
Love Is Blind UK fans admitted the “can’t watch” after an awkward scene played out between one couple.
The popular dating show returned to screens earlier this month, with five new couples throwing themselves into the experiment and getting engaged. However, the biggest test for the pairs came this week when they moved in together to plan their upcoming nuptials.
With that, also came meeting one another’s friends and family. But for one couple, this did not go down as well as hoped.
Kal and Sarover immediately hit it off in the dating pods, but their differing backgrounds meant potential trouble for the two. Sarover grew up in a modern Indian family and has never had a serious relationship or dated outside of her ethnic background before.
For Kal, his dad is Pakistani and his mother is English and he is part of a large, close-knit family. But fans have been rooting for the pair as they quickly became firm favourites amongst viewers.
Worried about meeting Sarover’s parents, Kal admitted it was “unsettling” as he said he doesn’t “know which way it’s going to go”. Sitting down with Sarover’s mum and sister, he said: “I know you’re a bit sceptical about me because obviously we’ve never met.”
When asked what was unique and different about Sarover, Kal replied: “Erm, a couple of things to be honest”, before Sarover’s mum asked: “That would be good to hear.”
He went on to say: “So, I’ve never dated a southern girl before, I’m gunna be honest I like the posh Southern accent. Something new and exciting for me, and then, so yeah.” After an awkward silence, he added: “We’re both obviously into fitness.”
When asked if he was 100% ready for marriage and the commitment, Kal replied: “I want to settle down, I want kids, family, all that. Hopefully with this beautiful lady who’s your daughter.
“Good work by the way, and yeah, I just I don’t know, just can’t wait for the wedding now, I’m a lucky guy.” He later added: “The universe does work in mysterious ways sometimes.”
And fans were quick to pick up on the awkward scenes. Taking to X, one fan wrote: “Omg Kal messed that up so badly in front of her family I am screaming?! I have secondhand embarrassment I can’t watch this.”
Another said: “Kal saying random stuff in front of Sarover’s mother was awkward. I bought Indian clothes”, alongside a laughing emoji. A third added: “That meeting was so awkward.” A fourth penned: “Kal can’t even say what he likes about Sarover but is shocked her mum might oppose him… okay.”
One viewer commented: “Nah I can’t believe Kal has come to tell Sarover’s family rubbish. This is deeply embarrassing for her.” Branding it a “tough watch” one fan said: “As much as I’m rooting for Kal & Sarover, that *first* scene of him meeting her family was a tough watch…”
Will Kal and Sarover have their happy ending? Viewers will have to wait until August 27 to find out, when the final two episodes are released.
