New Delhi:
Boney Kapoor, who made his big acting debut in the film last year Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, recently expressed his fondness for his daughter Janhvi Kapoor’s rumored boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya. In a candid interview with Zoom, Boney Kapoor stated, “I love Shikhar, in fact, a few years ago Janhvi wasn’t seeing him but I was still friendly to him.” He added: “He will be around. If someone is there for you in any capacity, whether it is for me, whether it is for Janhvi, whether it is for Arjun, he is kind to everyone. So I think we’re blessed to have someone like him in our organization.”
Last month, Janhvi Kapoor, who is a frequent visitor to the Tirumala Swami Temple in Andhra Pradesh, also offered prayers on her 27th birthday. She was accompanied by rumored boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya and best friend Orry. Several videos from the temple grounds went viral and fan pages dedicated to Janhvi Kapoor shared them on X (formerly known as Twitter). The videos show Janhvi going to the temple with Shikhar and Orry. You see them laughing and talking to each other. As she returns from the temple, Shikhar is seen escorting Janhvi to her car. Look:

Earlier, Shikhar Pahariya wished Janhvi a happy birthday and posted a beautiful picture on his Instagram story. In the photo, the rumored couple is seen standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, with their backs to the camera. Shikhar simply wrote, “Happy Birthday” and left a heart emoji.
For those unfamiliar, Shikhar Pahariya is the grandchild of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde. Janhvi Kapoor and Shikhar Pahariya are often spotted at restaurants, pubs and events. They have not publicly acknowledged their relationship until now.
