Meet 'Swiping America' Breakout Star Kris Kelkar
READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Kelkar, one of the contestants, is an out man looking for relationship. In the trailer, he is seen going on a few dates with different men, which includes adult film star Diego Sans.
According to Cosmopolitan, the 30-year old's full name is Krishnanand Kelkar, "but you can call me Kris." His occupation is Data Scientist. He told the magazine he likes "photography, museums, and googling how to dye/embroider/alter my clothes...but have never followed through with that (yet!)."
He explained why he joined the show. "This show was a YOLO moment – I never thought I'd do anything like this, but I had just been through a rough break up and funnily enough the guy badly wanted to be on TV, so I was kind of feeling the cosmic irony of it all."
He's excited for viewers to see how "at some point in the season, I wear a wedding dress! I am so excited for viewers to see that."
