India is currently in the midst of the world's worst coronavirus surge, with the country's medical system reportedly suffering from desperate shortages of basic supplies like oxygen and its crematoriums also beginning to become overwhelmed.
While India is currently recording over 300,000 new positive coronavirus tests per day, experts suspect the actual number of cases is much higher.
Goa, the Indian state in which Sumit and Jenny currently reside, has recorded the second-highest per capita number of coronavirus cases in the country, trailing only Delhi.
However Jenny and Sumit's relationship appears to be thriving despite the pandemic, as they frequently post photos of each other on their respective Instagram accounts.

"Our love is way stronger than you think," Sumit wrote alongside a photo of the couple smiling on April 3.
He added the following hashtags to his post, "#Love #stronglove #fightforlove #lovequonquersall #loveislove #90dayfiance #90daytheotherway #tlc #tvshows #loveall #peace."
Jenny revealed an update on her visa and marital status during a January episode of 90 Day: Bares All on Discovery's new discovery+ streaming service.
"When the pandemic hit, it shut the borders and no flights in, no flights out. So I just applied for an extension every month, so that's the way I've been doing it," Jenny explained.

"Every month, [I file] a new extension," she added.
90 Day: Bares All host Shaun Robinson noted it seemed like Jenny didn't really know what was going to happen in the future and was living month to month.
"My visa can expire, and if they don't want to extend it, that's when I'm probably going to have to leave the country," Jenny said.
Jenny, however, acknowledged she'd be able to stay in India with no problem if she and Sumit actually got married -- which had been the couple's plan all along.
"So, why don't we just do that?!" Shaun asked in regards to tying the knot.

"Sumit doesn't seem to want to separate from his family, so [that's it]," Jenny shared with an angry look on her face.

Sumit remained silent as Jenny spoke and just nodded his head in agreement as he sat beside her.
"Are you satisfied with the relationship with Sumit, just not being married?" Shaun asked for clarification.
"No," Jenny confirmed.
Sumit apparently had no comment and seemed nervous and sweaty.
Jenny and Sumit initially met on Facebook and Sumit catfished Jenny, but once she discovered his true identity, she still wanted to be with him.
The couple starred on the first two seasons of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.
The first season featured Jenny moving to India with the intention of marrying Sumit and staying there permanently, but she later discovered Sumit had been married to another woman for two years and his family was ashamed and furious over Sumit's affair with Jenny.
On Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, Sumit divorced his wife and ended up giving Jenny a promise ring to symbolize his commitment and lifelong devotion to her.
Sumit claimed he wanted to marry Jenny more than anything, but he decided not to go through with a wedding in order to avoid ruining his relationship with his disapproving parents completely.

Sahna threatened to commit suicide if Sumit made Jenny his wife, and so Sumit changed his mind and disappointed Jenny once again.
