In the ever-churning rumor mill of Bollywood, Janhvi Kapoor, the vivacious starlet, isn't one to let hearsay dictate her personal narrative, especially when it comes to her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya. Recent speculations swirling around social media suggested that Janhvi and Shikhar were on the verge of tying the knot in a traditional ceremony at Tirupati Temple. However, Janhvi wasted no time in playfully shutting down the gossip with a witty retort.

Responding to the post on an Instagram paparazzi account, Janhvi quipped, "Kuch bhi (What even!)," eliciting a wave of laughter emojis from her followers. Fans joined in on the banter, with one commenting, "@janhvikapoor aapko pata bhi nhi (You don’t even know)," followed by a laughing emoji, while another jokingly remarked, "@janhvikapoor jabardasti karwayenge ye log (They will force you to get married)."

Shikhar Pahariya, the grandson of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, shares a longstanding connection with Janhvi. Although the couple reportedly went through a brief split at one point, they have since reconciled and have been spotted together on multiple occasions.

While Janhvi has chosen to remain tight-lipped about her romantic life, she did offer a glimpse into her affection for Shikhar during an appearance on Koffee with Karan. When quizzed about the three most important people in her life, Janhvi hesitated before affectionately mentioning Shikhar, whom she fondly calls 'Shikhu,' revealing their intimate bond in the process.

Earlier this year, Janhvi and Shikhar were captured offering prayers at Tirupati Temple, further fueling speculation about their relationship. Additionally, Janhvi's public display of affection was evident when she attended the premiere of "Maidaan" in Mumbai, donning a white suit accessorized with a necklace bearing the name "Shikhu," a clear declaration of her love for her beau.

Janhvi's father and producer, Boney Kapoor, has also expressed his fondness for Shikhar, affirming, "I love Shikhar." He recalled maintaining a friendly relationship with Shikhar even during the period when Janhvi was not romantically involved with him, emphasizing that he believed Shikhar could never be just an 'ex.'

As the rumor mill continues to churn, Janhvi Kapoor remains unruffled, confidently navigating through the speculations with her signature charm and wit, asserting her agency over her personal life amidst the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry.
