[name_m]Pranav[/name_m] Yagnesh Malhotra (20) is [name_u]Ash[/name_u] 's boyfriend. The couple bonded because they both can relate to being [name_f]Indian[/name_f] and experiencing the cultural shock that comes with moving to [name_u]America[/name_u]. [name_m]Pranav[/name_m] really appreciates having [name_u]Ash[/name_u] as his partner. They always offer a listening ear and helped him feel better about his appearance , especially his darker skintone, which does not fit the beauty standard in [name_f]India[/name_f]. Now he feels a lot more comfortable taking selfies!
[name_m]Pranav[/name_m] met [name_u]Ash[/name_u] through one of their best friends that they live with. He lives in a college dorm room and doesn’t really have many friends at university , always having his nose in the books or learning new coding languages. He is a Computer [name_u]Science[/name_u] major and very passionate about cybersecurity. He thinks that it’s good [name_u]Ash[/name_u] has more interest in humanties like psychology or artistic pursuits like dance - this way, they have the famous opposites attract dynamics.
He thinks [name_u]Ash[/name_u] shouldn’t worry about not treating Khoros as seriously as other members of the group and just because she joined it doesn’t mean she has to give it her all. For him all that matters is that [name_u]Ash[/name_u] is happy and stays optimistic about her future. It annoyed him a little when she named her fish [name_m]Arjun[/name_m] - honestly , he thinks more seriously about her than he would like to admit and hoped that [name_m]Arjun[/name_m] could be a contender for the name of their future son.
