Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, who is gearing up for the release of her film ‘Mr & Mrs Mahi' with Rajkummar Rao is dating Former Chief Minister of Maharashtra Sushilkumar Shinde's grandson Shikhar Pahariya. In a recent interview, Janhvi opened up about the strangest rumour she had heard about her.

Janhvi told ETimes, "I read something very stupid just recently where they said that I have confirmed some relationship aur 'med shadi aise hone wall hai'. People mixed up some 2-3 articles saying I'm getting married. They are getting me married in a week which I'm not okay with (laughs). I want to work at the moment."

While neither Janhvi nor Shikhar has officially confirmed their relationship, glimpses into their alleged romance have surfaced from time to time. Janhvi's appearance on Karan Johar's talk show 'Koffee With Karan' provided subtle insights into their bond, with the 'Dhadak' actor sharing endearing anecdotes about Shikhar's presence in her life.

Moreover, her father Boney Kapoor's public admiration for Shikhar further solidifies the speculation surrounding their relationship. Shikhar Pahariya hasn't shied away from expressing his affection for Janhvi either. Recently, at a recent screening of the film 'Maidaan', wearing 'Shiku' necklace gave the subtle nod, which sent fans into a frenzy, reigniting discussions about the alleged romance between the two. The 'Shiku' necklace not only caught the eyes of onlookers but also fueled speculation about the depth of her relationship with Shikhar.

Meanwhile, the much-anticipated sports drama 'Mr & Mrs Mahi' will be released on May 31, 2024. It is directed by Sharan Sharma, who is known for his directorial debut 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl.' 'Mr & Mrs Mahi' marks the second collaboration between Janhvi and Sharan. It also marks the second collaboration between Janhvi and RajKummar. The duo was earlier seen in 'Roohi'. The film is backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

Janhvi also has 'Ulajh' which will be released on July 5. Directed by National Award winner Sudhanshu Saria, the patriotic thriller film also stars Gulshan Devaiah and Roshan Mathew, of 'The Poacher' fame, in lead roles. The project follows the journey of a young IFS officer, belonging to a prominent family of patriots, who gets embroiled in a dangerous personal conspiracy while far from her home turf, at a career-defining post.
