Mumbai, Jan 20: Coining together the names Bigg Boss's latest couple Upen and Karishma, host Farah Khan said that since the two have expressed their feelings on the show, the TRP's have gone up. She also said that she was relieved that such was the case, because otherwise she might have been blamed for possible the drop in ratings.

Since his return, Upen has made sure that he expressed his strong feelings towards co-contestant Karishma Tanna more than evident. Karishma too seemed reciprocate positively despite having up until that point maintaining that she had a boyfriend on the outside who she would like to marry at some point. Literally joint at the hips, Upen did not leave Karishma alone with Rahul Mahajan at all, even though Karishma and Rahul were handcuffed together as per the punishment meted out to them by host Farah Khan.

While talking to Rahul, Upen confessed that he didn't think Karishma was aware of how profoundly he felt towards her. Rahul in turn, asked Upen if he was insecure with regards to Karishma, to which Upen replied that he was merely sentimental. Rahul, opined that Karishma had a good choice and she wouldn't leave Upen high and dry at the end of the show.

Karishma too cleared the air saying that her relationship outside the house was not a complete one and that Upen was a positive force in her life that she would like to be. Karishma cried in response to Dimpy and Mehek's comments wherein they called her a opportunist who questioned her turn coat reactions towards Rahul and Upen.
