However, beyond reality television, Pradhyuman's romantic journey took an unexpected turn.
In 2020, he found his match in Ashima Chauhaan, an encounter that transpired outside the show's scripted framework and blossomed into an off-screen relationship that fans could celebrate.
Pradhyuman's willingness to delve into his personal life transcended to the show's second season, where he joyously announced his relationship with Ashima Chauhan.
Yet, the narrative has now taken a sad twist, casting a shadow over the seemingly promising union.
Recent developments have revealed that Ashima, who chose to build a life outside the cameras with Pradhyuman and married him during an episode of the second season of Indian Matchmaking, has lodged a First Information Report (FIR) against him.
Allegations of both physical and emotional abuse have surfaced, sparking a disheartening divergence from the once-hopeful trajectory of their relationship.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, advocate Anmol Bartaria, who is reportedly representing Ashima, stated
"The allegations with FIR lodged are grave and concerning, with domestic violence and constant mental, physical abuse at its core. The matter is in the investigative stage and should be carried out in full swing. Ashima is in the process of taking appropriate legal proceedings against the accused in accordance with the law."
However, contrary to what Ashima's lawyer said, Pradhyumanhe was unaware of such development.
"I don¡¯t know about it. To the best of my knowledge, we are in settlement talks with lawyers to resolve our marital issues amicably."

Sima Taparia, the matchmaker, had introduced him to model Rushali Rai on the show, but that connection didn't progress.

Speaking about the FIR, Rushali commented,

¡°He doesn¡¯t seem like that person. I heard they were breaking up but didn¡¯t know about domestic violence. As far as I¡¯ve known him, this can¡¯t be true.¡±
Ashima, a model, and actor, has appeared on several reality shows, including MTV Love School and Ace of Space.
While celebrating their first wedding anniversary together, the couple shared a post with the caption:

"May you always be the one who notices the little ways light pours through, reminding me there¡¯s more to life and more to you within the chaos. A year and many more to go."
The turn of events serves as a stark reminder of the complexities that underlie even the most curated narratives as the spotlight shifts from the glitzy world of reality TV to the harsh realities of their personal lives.
