Since Gergana Lazarova has admittedly never romantically said “I love you,” the words now mean more to her than ever before, and she hopes she will only say them to her forever partner. That’s why she joined the cast of Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: Italy’ – she was tired of the messiness as well as the superficiality in modern dating, so she realized this series might help her find her husband. She had no idea it would directly lead her to Parminder “Parmi” Singh, who would truly shatter all her defenses within days by simply being his authentic, calm, gentle, and passionate self.
Gergana and Parmi Connected Despite Their Differences
From the moment 30-year-old Gergana first came across 34-year-old Parmi in the pods, they fell into an easy flow thanks to their decision to initially focus on rather general topics of conversation. They thus discussed their families and careers, with the latter choosing to keep the details of his background private because it might immediately give away his ethnicity/how he probably looks. She understood his prerogative since she herself is Bulgarian, but she didn’t shy away from opening up about it as she wanted to convey the significance of her immigrant parents in her life.
Gergana and Parmi subsequently bonded over their shared childhood dream of being a flight attendant, only for it to come to light that they both actually pursued drastically different careers. That’s when the latter knew she was and would remain his top pick, unaware she would find herself developing an attachment to 36-year-old Event Organizer Giovanni Calvario too. She was hence hurt when he swiftly ended things to build a relationship with 35-year-old Genetic Biologist Giorgia Paselli, just for her to suddenly, unexpectedly find comfort with Parmi. He didn’t pressure her into anything, but he did end up talking about his Indian heritage when the topic of tattoos came up because he has many on his body to represent the same.
It was then that their situation became tense as Gergana revealed that Parmi’s ethnicity might be an issue for her parents and, by extension, her because their opinion means everything. She even divulged they are sadly ill, so there are a lot of expectations, pressures, and responsibilities she is willingly taking head-on, so she needs a partner who would truly support her. The young Bulgarian could never have imagined Parmi’s response – “I’ll stand and fight with you, if you stand and fight with me” – which stole her heart as well as scared her all at once. She still worried about what her parents might think since he doesn’t deserve any hurt, but she also knew she had to follow her heart and thus said yes when he ultimately got down on one knee.
Gergana and Parmi Sadly Seem to Have Parted Ways
When Gergana and Parmi finally came face-to-face for the first time, the energy between them as they melted into one another’s arms before sharing a cozy kiss was perfectly electric. The way he always said the right things, gave her a sense of safety, and made her feel genuinely heard in the pods translated into real-life during their romantic getaway to Morocco further solidified their romance. Therefore, despite his initially having trouble connecting her voice to her face and her manner of being, it was evident that their emotional bond had passed the test of physicality. However, as they returned to Italy to live together, it appears as if outside noise, cultural differences, and the possibility of them being long-distance created a big divide.
After all, while Gergana has happily built a life for herself near her parents in Milan, Parmi’s base is in close proximity to his loved ones as well as his business in Florence. The couple, hence, likely found themselves facing more questions than answers, resulting in them possibly deciding that it would be best if they separate before things go too far. Neither of them has since confirmed or denied their relationship status, yet their social media profiles do indicate they currently lead drastically different lives in different areas of Italy.
Gergana and Parmi Are Proud Professionals in Different Fields
Although Gergana is a native of Bulgaria, she has been an Italian resident since she was a young girl and even finished her primary education at Giordano Bruno Linguistic High School. She then kickstarted her career as a part-time Sales Assistant at Luxottica two years later, in October 2016, following which she joined Angelini Beauty as a full-time Beauty Advisor in July 2017. She served there until July 2019, only to join Giorgio Armani as a Sales Representative for two months, and then moved to Mandarina Duck in the same position until January 2020.
Gergana further held additional Sales jobs at Pomellato from January 2020 to May 2021, Sixt for a month, Furla from July 2021 to December 2021, and Pomellato again until October 2023. That’s when she joined DoDo Jewels as an Assistant Store Manager, just to be promoted to Store Manager within a few months, which is a title she proudly holds to this day. Apart from this, the now 31-year-old – she celebrated her birthday in Germany on October 24, 2025 – is also a rising model as well as a public figure. The travel enthusiast has not only already done work with brands such as Vivaia and McDonald’s, but has attended Milan Fashion Week 2025 too. We should even mention that it seems like she continues to maintain a strong relationship with both her parents.
Coming to Parmi, he still resides in Italy’s Tuscany region, where he is the proud owner-operator of Raja Indian Lounge Restaurant in Prato and a boxing, dance, and gym aficionado. In fact, whenever he is not working, he can be found either focusing on his fitness, enjoying downtime with his cat, spending quality time with his parents, brother, and friends, or traveling the world. He visited Istanbul, Turkey, in August 2022, Budapest, Hungary, in August 2023, Stockholm, Sweden, in April 2024, Wrocław, as well as Warsaw, Poland, in August 2024, and Barcelona, Spain, in August 2024. Since then, the now 35-year-old has also been to the Island of Elba, Italy, in September 2024, Mallorca, Spain, in August 2025, and Puglia, Italy, in August-September 2025.
