Janhvi Kapoor, currently dating Shikhar Pahariya, frequently makes headlines with their public appearances. The couple was also spotted together at the Ambani-Merchant wedding, where a clip featuring Janhvi and her sister Khushi Kapoor posing with their respective partners went viral, practically confirming their relationships. The younger Kapoor sibling, Khushi, is rumored to be dating her ‘Archies’ co-star Vedang Raina. The pair has been seen together on numerous occasions and are active in supporting each other on social media platforms.
In a recent interview with Mirchi Plus, Janhvi Kapoor spoke about her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya, saying, “He has been in my life since I was 15 or 16.

‘Ulajh,’ directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sudhanshu Saria, also stars Gulshan Devaiah and Roshan Mathew, known for his role in ‘The Poacher.’ The movie, produced by Junglee Pictures, follows the story of a young IFS officer from a distinguished patriotic family. She finds herself entangled in a dangerous personal conspiracy while stationed abroad at a critical juncture in her career. Written by Parveez Shaikh and Sudhanshu Saria, with dialogues from Atika Chohan, ‘Ulajh’ presents a fresh spin on the thriller genre, promising something unique for the audience.
Janhvi Kapoor expressed immense enthusiasm about her role in ‘Ulajh.’ Discussing the project, she said, “When I first read the script of ‘Ulajh,’ I was immediately drawn to it. As an actor, I am always seeking roles that push me out of my comfort zone. Playing a character within the esteemed realm of the Indian Foreign Services met that criterion perfectly. The title itself ‘Ulajh,’ which means ‘entangled,’ points to the multiple layers, emotions, and intricacies in the story and my character. It has been challenging yet exciting to adopt this new persona envisioned by Sudhanshu. He brings an innovative approach to the genre. Additionally, working with such talented co-actors and a respected production house like Junglee Pictures for the first time has been an incredible experience.”
As Janhvi Kapoor juggles her personal and professional commitments, her candid response to the paparazzi and her dedication to her craft only add to her fan base.
