Janhvi Kapoor and Shikhar Pahariya have been linked for several years. Reports suggest the two started dating in 2016 before reportedly parting ways after Janhvi made her Bollywood debut in 2018.

Rumours of their relationship began again in 2023 after they were spotted together on several occasions. Since then, they have often been seen attending public events, visiting temples and spending time together, further adding to speculation about their relationship.

On the work front, Janhvi was recently seen in ‘Peddi.’ The film sparked debate after a section of viewers criticised the portrayal of her character as being “hypersexualised.” Following the backlash, director Buchi Babu Sana apologised to audiences and made changes to the film.

Meanwhile, producer Boney Kapoor’s daughter Anshula Kapoor married her longtime boyfriend Rohan Thakkar on Monday. The couple got engaged in July 2025 after Rohan proposed during a romantic getaway. They had shared the happy news with fans by posting pictures from the special moment. (ANI)
