Love professors, Karan Kundra and Anusha Dandekar, had carefully handpicked nine couples for Love School Season 2 when the show began in November. The idea was to choose couples who were going through a rough patch in their relationships and help them sort out their issues. However, recently the duo learnt that a couple, Ranjana and Bhuvan, were faking it and lost their cool.

After catching Ranjana on a phone (phones are not allowed) and reading her messages, an angry Anusha said, “It’s a waste of time for us and is making me really angry. You do not disrespect my time.”

Karan asked the couples to “own up” and was on the verge of hitting the contestant when Anusha steered him away. Urging Ranjana to reveal the truth, she said, “Give it to me straight. This is your chance to look like a woman because right now you look pathetic.”

Unable to control his anger, Karan walked out of the show, saying, “Everything will stop until I get to know the truth.” Seeing him so upset, Anusha added, “I am done too. Lots of lies, lots of truths! My heart is racing and I hate seeing Karan so upset.”

Speaking to Mirror, Karan reasoned, “The idea of the show is to put the nine couples through experiences so they understand the value of relationships. But some people treat it like another reality show and jump on board to be seen on TV. What annoyed me was that we chose them over genuine couples who actually needed help. Anusha almost had a breakown. I had no option but to walk out till they refused to admit they’d lied.”

Mirror (September 3) had reported that Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover had opted out of hosting MTV's reality show, Love School. Now, VJ Anusha Dandekar and beau Karan Kundra have stepped in and even shot the first promo on Wednesday dressed in school uniforms. "Anusha wore hers from the seventh grade, it still fits her. Amazing!" raves Karan who's working with his lady love for the first time. Talking about his role as a love guru, the 31-year-old actor admits he's played cupid in real life as he was a matchmaker in college. He rues that while some schools have sex education classes, nobody teaches you about love and a lot is left unsaid between couples because of a communication gap.

Anusha and he first met at the airport when the channel was flying them to Europe for a shoot. It's been over a year now and long absences, like Karan's monthlong trip to Bhutan for a Roadies shoot or Anusha's two-month stay in LA, have only made the heart grow fonder. The Punjabi lad is even trying to learn Marathi to converse with his mulgi. "I can't speak it well yet but I understand what is being said. Anusha often drops in on my sets and starts chattering in Marathi since everyone from the director to staff are Maharashtrians. When I fail in my attempt to recriprocate, I get strange looks," he signs off.

Buzz is B-town newlyweds, Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover, are set to take over hosting reigns this time as they dole out relationship advice to the participating couples.

Talks had been on for a while and the makers received a positive response recently. We are now waiting for the duo to return from their Bali vacation to complete the formalities. Auditions calls for contestants will be announced in a week's time. The show is most likely to be shot in Goa."
