After announcing their breakup on social media, Puneesh talked to ETimes about why they took this step. He shared, "Bandgee and I were together for five years. There is no specific reason for ending the relationship. Bandgee is serious about her career in Muumbai and I am mostly in Delhi because of my business. My parents are also in Delhi. They are growing old, and hence I decided to stay with them in Delhi. I have been shuttling between Mumbai and Delhi as I have opened a production house. It is not possible for me to be stationed in Mumbai." After being in a relationship for almost five years, the news came as a shock to the fans of the Bigg Boss contestants. "We decided that the long-distance relationship won't work in the long run and that's why we decided to go our separate ways;" added Puneesh.
