Actress Janhvi Kapoor who is making her debut in Telugu films with 'Devara', has reportedly 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.
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. Shikhar Pahariya is the grandson of politician and Maharashtra’s former Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde.
