Abhijeet Sawant was on Tinder

In a no-holds-barred chat with Hindi Rush, Abhijeet spilled the tea about his low-key presence on the dating app. It all started during a trip to the US with a friend who introduced him to the concept of dating apps. Curiosity got the better of him, and he made a profile using his real name. “I never met anyone in real life, but I liked to check it out occasionally,” he revealed.

Apparently, the singer has always been someone who enjoys deep conversations, especially with women. He confessed that he matched with two or three people and would engage in thoughtful chats. According to Abhijeet, the app felt a bit weird, but the thrill of connection and conversation kept him coming back, for a while at least.

What was wife’s reaction?

And where was his wife, Shilpa Sawant, in all this? Completely unaware. “She had no idea what Tinder even was,” he said. That is, until now. Abhijeet casually added that now that it is all out in the open, it is fine. “If you are going to do something, do it openly,” he said, standing by his ‘no shame’ policy.

Twitter eventually outed his profile, which made him uncomfortable enough to delete it. “It wouldn’t look good,” he acknowledged, but by then, the swipes had already been made.
