Despite their initial spark, their relationship ultimately came to an end due to compatibility issues. In her Instagram post, Viral acknowledged that sometimes love doesn't go according to plan. She encouraged her followers not to let the end of a relationship define them, but rather to see it as a sign that better things are on the horizon.
She wrote, "Sometimes love lifts us. Sometimes love teaches us. And sometimes love leaves us. It’s all a part of the journey - one that I shared on two seasons of #IndianMatchmaking, and one I will continue to share with the world authentically and honestly. When things don’t go as planned, we usually question what went wrong. But remember, that is not the defining part of the relationship, and it is NOT the defining part of you. It’s the Universe telling you that better things are down the road, somewhere else, with someone else." Viral ended her post with a message of hope, expressing her belief that the best was yet to come. She affirmed her commitment to finding love that aligned with her values, beliefs, and mindset. "I believe that I’ll meet it soon, with the grace and optimism of knowing what is meant to be," she wrote. "I believe that the best is yet to come 🩷 and for that, I am forever grateful." Despite the end of her relationship with Aashay, Viral's words serve as an inspiring reminder to keep moving forward and to always remain hopeful for what the future holds.
