Mumbai : Janhvi Kapoor has finally confirmed her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya after dating him for a while now. On Tuesday night, the actress attended the screening of her father Boney Kapoor’s new production, Maidaan, in Mumbai. However, what grabbed everyone’s attention was Janhvi’s customised necklace which had her boyfriend’s nickname “Shikhu” on it.
Janhvi looked stunning in an all-white pantsuit and matching heels as she posed for the paparazzi on the red carpet. She also posed with her father and brother Arjun Kapoor. But fans couldn’t stop gushing over her necklace and the fact that she was flaunting it publicly.
Earlier this year, during an episode of Koffee With Karan, Janhvi had mentioned her boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya AKA “shiku” as one of the three people on her speed-dial list. Host Karan Johar had asked Janhvi “to name three people on your speed-dial list.” Janhvi promptly replied, “Papa, Khushu and Shiku,” immediately realising the oopsie she made.
Janhvi Kapoor never shies away from expressing her fondness for Shikhar. Recently, her father and film producer, Boney Kapoor, also confirmed that the actress is in a romantic relationship with Shikhar. However, it came as a surprise when Janhvi skipped sharing any birthday greeting for her boyfriend on social media. Shikhar celebrated his birthday on April 3. Shikhar, on the other hand, had posted a loved-up photo of them on his Instagram stories to mark Janhvi’s birthday last month.
During a recent interview, Boney spoke at length about his fondness for Shikhar. “I love him (Shikhar) and in fact, in between a couple of years back Janhvi was not seeing him but I was still friendly to him. I was convinced he can never be an ex. He’ll be around. When any person is there for you in any capacity whether it’s for me, whether it’s for Janhvi, whether it’s for Arjun, he is friendly to all. So I feel we’re blessed to have somebody like him in our set up,” Boney told Zoom.
Shikhar Pahariya is the grandson of politician and Maharashtra’s former Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde. Reportedly, Shikhar and Janhvi were in a serious relationship earlier but then broke up. The duo reportedly patched up last year. They are often spotted together. Shikhar has also posed for paps with Boney Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor on several occasions.(Agency)
