After being in a relationship with Shikhar Pahariya for some time, Janhvi Kapoor has finally come clean about it. The actress was present at the Mumbai screening of Maidaan, her father Boney Kapoor’s latest film, on Tuesday night. All eyes were drawn to Janhvi’s customized necklace, though, since it had her boyfriend’s nickname, “Shikhu.”
Shikhar Pahariya, along with actress Janhvi Kapoor, has been seen in several events together, such as temple visits, displaying public affection, and attending Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash. There have been speculations about their relationship for quite some time, and now the actress appears to have confirmed their romantic involvement at the special screening of the Ajay Devgn-starrer ‘Maidaan.’

Janhvi looked amazing posing for the photographers on the red carpet in an all-white jumpsuit and matching heels. She also took pictures with her brother Arjun Kapoor and father. However, her necklace and the fact that she was showing it off in public had fans drooling over it.
Who is Shikhar Pahariya?
The relationship between Jhanvi Kapoor and Shikhar Pahadia has been approved by the actress’s father Boney Kapoor. Because of this, Shikhar has become a part of every discussion these days. Not only this, Khushi Kapoor had already given a hint about the relationship between Jhanvi and Shikhar in Koffee with Karan. Talking about Shikhar’s background, he comes from a political family.
Shikhar Pahariya is the grandson of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde. Talking about Shikhar’s profession, he is a businessman. He has no connection with Bollywood but he definitely has many friends in the industry.
Initial hints at koffee with Karan
Janhvi had revealed that one of the three individuals on her speed-dial list was her boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya, also known as “shiku,” during an episode of Koffee With Karan earlier this year. Janhvi was asked to “identify three persons on your speed-dial list” by host Karan Johar. Janhvi quickly corrected herself and said, “Papa, Khushu, and Shiku,” realizing her error.
Janhvi Kapoor is never afraid to show her affection for Shikhar. The actress’s romantic relationship with Shikhar has been acknowledged by her father, Boney Kapoor, a film producer. But when Janhvi neglected to post a birthday wish for her lover on social media, it caught us off guard. On April 3, Shikhar celebrated his birthday. On Janhvi’s birthday last month, Shikhar, on the other hand, shared a romantic picture of the two of them on his Instagram stories.
In a recent interview, Boney talked extensively about how much he liked Shikhar. “I love Shikhar, and a few years ago, even though Janhvi kapoor was not seeing him, I was still cordial with him.” I really believed that he could never be an ex. He will be present. He is friendly to everyone when they support you in any way, whether it be for myself, Janhvi, Arjun, or something else entirely. Thus, I think it is a blessing that we have someone with his caliber in our team,” Boney said to Zoom.
Shikhar and Janhvi allegedly had a significant relationship at one point before calling it quits. According to reports, the two made up last year. They are frequently seen together. Shikhar has also frequently appeared for pictures with Arjun and Boney Kapoor.
