After the first six-episode drop of Love Is Blind Season 10, fans were dying to see more of Priyanka Grandhi, a core member of the Women’s Quarters squad, who wasn’t featured in the pods.
Now that Episodes 7-9 are here, Priyanka has reentered the narrative, and we could not be more thrilled. During her appearance at the first Pod Squad get-together in Ohio, an engaged cast member even admitted that he knew Priyanka before they entered the experiment.
Below, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about Love Is Blind Season 10’s Priyanka Grandhi, who she dated, who she knew before the pods, and more!
Who is Priyanka Grandhi on Love Is Blind?
Priyanka Grandhi is a 34-year-old recruiter from the Ohio season of Love Is Blind, whose friends and family often call her a “socialite.” On both social media and in her pre-season interview with Netflix, Priyanka revealed that she only wants to be with someone who can add value to her life. She told Netflix, “I’m a firm believer that bringing someone into my life is an added value and doesn’t complete me.” That’s why she’s spent the last 11 years single.
According to her LinkedIn, Priyanka is a senior recruiter at Setpoint Technologies. Before starting her career, Priyanka attended Miami University, where she got a B.A. in Psychology.
Did Love Is Blind‘s Alex Henderson know Priyanka Grandhi outside of the pods?
Yes, Alex Henderson, who got engaged to Ashley Carpenter during Season 10, revealed that he knows Priyanka from outside of the experiment. He explained that they were in the same friend group in Chicago, telling viewers, “She’s been in my friend group for a little while.” According to Alex, he knew he was talking to Priyanka in the pods, but “wanted Priyanka to have her experience untarnished.” That’s why he didn’t tell her that they knew each other at the time.
While it’s clear that Alex and Priyanka didn’t date in the pods, he can be seen in the preview for future episodes telling someone, “[Ashley’s] the inverse of what I like. I want that brunette, brown-eyed girl.” Of course, that’s not too specific. But when you factor in the following clip of Ashley fired up, telling Alex, “You’ve been in contact with her for years,” it seems like they both may be referring to Priyanka.
Who did Priyanka Grandhi date in the pods?
At this time, Priyanka has not revealed who she dated in the pods. However, she did say that she dated a few of the guys viewers have gotten to know. She told her Instagram followers, “Yes, I was dating. No, I was not the hired counselor in the lounge, though that was a hilarious theory.” She confirmed, “There are a couple guys that are being featured who I did have a connection with, and they were probably like my top three to four people. So I was actively dating as well.”
Priyanka revealed, “Ultimately, I did end up with one person. We made it to the end of the pod dating experience.” However, Priyanka chose not to get engaged. She explained, “I think it just wasn’t — or I wasn’t — fully aligned. I didn’t feel like this was a slam dunk.”
Right now, we don’t know who Priyanka’s final guy was, since he sounds like it was also someone who wasn’t heavily featured. Responding to the question, “After the experiment, did you meet in person the guy you didn’t stay with?” on an Instagram Q&A, Priyanka told her followers, “This and names of my connections are being asked a lot. I will give these details soon.”
