Janhvi Kapoor has publicly acknowledged her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya, following her father, producer Boney Kapoor’s earlier revelation about her romantic life. After some time of dating, the actress made her relationship with Shikhar official. At the premiere of her father’s latest movie, “Maidaan,” in Mumbai, Janhvi’s accessory of choice, a necklace bearing her boyfriend’s nickname “Shikhu,” caught everyone’s eye.
Donning a chic all-white pantsuit and heels, Janhvi captured the spotlight as she walked the red carpet, posing with her father and brother, Arjun Kapoor. Her necklace, however, became the center of attention, signaling her open affection for Shikhar. Previously, on an episode of “Koffee With Karan,” Janhvi inadvertently mentioned Shikhar, referred to as “Shiku,” as one of her top contacts, alongside her father and sister Khushi, hinting at their close bond.
Janhvi’s expressions of love for Shikhar are no secret. In fact, Boney Kapoor has also expressed his approval of Shikhar, emphasizing his continued friendship with him even during a brief period when Janhvi and Shikhar were not together. Boney praised Shikhar’s supportive nature towards the entire family. Interestingly, despite these public acknowledgments, Janhvi remained reserved about posting a birthday message for Shikhar on social media, although he had celebrated her birthday with a heartfelt post the previous month.
In a recent discussion, Boney Kapoor elaborated on his admiration for Shikhar, describing him as a constant presence and a blessing for the family. Shikhar, who is the grandson of Sushilkumar Shinde, a noted politician and former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has had an on-and-off relationship with Janhvi. The couple, who had previously parted ways, reportedly reconciled last year and have since been seen together frequently, alongside family members like Boney and Arjun Kapoor.
