She was also a contestant in the reality show. This is no secret as Puri has always showered praises on the 'Uttaran' actress in the past as well. Akanksha got an opportunity to meet Desai recently and the former took the opportunity to hug her and expressed gratitude for always supporting her choices even when she was a part of the reality show. The 2 divas united in a fashion show being held in Mumbai by Bombay Times.
A clip has gone viral from the event where we can see Puri approaching Rashami as she was clicking pictures with some people. Puri later hugs Rashami because of which she looks startled as she wasn't able to recognise her. Akanksha wastes no time in introducing herself, after which Desai greeted her warmly. They exchange a few words and Akanksha is heard thanking the former contestant for taking her side when she was within the reality show. After this quick banter, Puri leaves.

Puri was in a relationship with Paras Chhabra when he entered the Bigg Boss house. Their relationship suffered and eventually had to end as Chhabra was seen getting close to Mahira Sharma, another contestant from the show. Paras was often seen bad-mouthing his ex-girlfriend which made the relationship they shared appear very messy.
