Sharing the clip, he wrote, “I see the vision now,” tagging Janhvi Kapoor. The viral video caught the actress’ attention, who commented “Shiku” with a heart-eyes emoji.

Janhvi and Shikhar were childhood friends whose bond eventually blossomed into a relationship. Rumours about their relationship first surfaced in 2016, though neither confirmed nor denied them.

According to reports, the two parted ways shortly after Janhvi made her Bollywood debut in 2018, something she later hinted at during an appearance on Koffee With Karan. However, the couple reportedly reunited in 2022 and have been going strong since, often making joint public appearances.

Earlier, while speaking to Mirchi Plus, the actress talked about her beau and said that Shikhar has been in her life since she was 15 years old. “I think my dreams have always been his dreams, and his dreams have always been my dreams. We’ve been very close. We’ve been each other’s support system, almost as if we’ve raised each other,” added the actress.

Shikhar also seems to share a strong bond with Janhvi’s family and is often seen at their family gatherings and celebrations.
