Janhvi Kapoor looked stunning as always at the screening of the movie “Maidaan” wearing a white pant suit, but what caught everyone’s attention was her diamond necklace with “Shikhu” written on it, which is her rumored boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya’s nickname. Apparently, Janhvi Kapoor calls her boyfriend “Shikhu.” At Karan Johar’s show “Koffee with Karan,” Janhvi had mentioned that Shikhar was on her speed dial and that she calls him “Shiku” and that’s where netizens zeroed in on Shikhar Pahariya as her boyfriend.
Maidaan is a movie which stars Ajay Devgn, Priyamani, Keerthy Suresh, Boman Irani among others and would get released on April 11, 2024. At the screening, Janhvi posed with her father Boney Kapoor and brother Arjun Kapoor. The screening of “Maidaan” took place on April 9, in Mumbai and was attended by the film’s cast and crew along with Pooja Hegde, Arjun Kapoor, Javed Akhtar, Shabana Azmi, Chunky Pandey, Neena Gupta, Sanya Malhotra, showing up to show their support for the movie which is backed by Boney Kapoor.
Who is Shikhar Pahariya, Rumored Boyfriend of Janhvi Kapoor?
Janhvi Kapoor and Shikhar have known each other for quite a few years now. Interestingly, Janhvi and Shikhar had dated a few years earlier and had broke up, but now seem to be back together. Shikhar is 28 years old and the grandson of former Maharashtra chief minister Sushil Kumar Shinde. He is a businessman and runs an entertainment and gaming company.
Here’s a video from the Maidaan movie screening event:
Shikhar and Janhvi are seen togther often, making appearances at awards and events, going on family vacations, and making trips to the temple. Recently, they were seen together at Radhika Merchant-Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar.
Last year, when Orry had shared a video of a party on instagram that Shikhar had attended, Janhvi Kapoor had commented “Shikhu” followed by a heart emoji. Then, Janhvi asked Shikhar in another comment about a girl wearing pink in the video, calling her the “pink girl.” Orry joked around and told the girl in pink, Tasheen Rahimtoola, to run playfully. But the cutest part is what Shikhar replied to Janhvi (though he later deleted his message). He told Janhvi, “I am all yours,” which was really cute and almost confirmed their relationship. This whole conversation showed that they were teasing each other in a friendly way.
