Popular Gujarati celebrities Dhruvin Shah and Kinjal Dave have welcomed the year 2026 with a tranquil and love-filled vacation in the Maldives. The couple, who recently got engaged, shared glimpses of their peaceful getaway on social media, sending their fans into a frenzy of admiration and support.
A Peaceful Escape to the Maldives
The trip, described by fans as a "fresh and peaceful beginning," showcased the couple enjoying the sun, sea, and sand. Their Instagram feed turned into a visual diary of relaxation, featuring serene shots of the blue waters and open skies. Dhruvin Shah perfectly captured the mood by captioning one set of pictures as "Sea Sand Sun Serenity." Earlier, they also posted a video simply titled "Love Entering 2026," which was flooded with affectionate comments from followers.
Scuba Diving Fun and a Important Clarification
Among the holiday highlights were pictures from their scuba diving adventure. The couple shared these exciting moments set to the romantic song "Tum Ho." However, a particular post led Dhruvin to address his followers directly. He noticed some confusion among fans regarding their diet.
To set the record straight, Dhruvin commented, "Those who believe we are eating eggs despite being Jain and Brahmins are not like that. This is litchi. Our diets and thoughts are purely vegetarian." This clarification was met with overwhelming support from their fanbase.
Fans quickly rallied in the comments section. One wrote, "Most loved couples ever," while another defended, "Everyone deserves to live their life their own way without being trolled." The incident highlighted the couple's connection with their audience and their commitment to their beliefs.
Simple Styles and a Blossoming Love Story
Throughout their vacation, Dhruvin and Kinjal opted for effortless and comfortable beachwear, making their holiday appear genuine and unforced. Kinjal was seen in a light, sleeveless pink and white checkered dress, accessorized with sunglasses, while Dhruvin kept his look casual. Their natural chemistry was evident in every frame.
The couple's journey to this romantic getaway has been a topic of much discussion. Kinjal Dave, who was previously engaged to Pavan Joshi, announced her engagement to Jo-Jo app founder Dhruvin Shah on December 6. Their 'Gol Dhana' reception was later held at the YMCA Club in Ahmedabad, attended by many luminaries from the Gujarati entertainment industry.
Their union, however, also faced challenges. Kinjal's Brahmin community announced a boycott of her family following her engagement to Dhruvin. After days of silence, her father, Lalit Dave, posted a strong message on Instagram stating, "We don't have any complaints. Those who don't find us worthy should kindly stay away from us. We are happy in our own world. We don't need anyone's certificate."
Standing by her family, Kinjal also spoke up, saying, "When my father's self-respect is questioned, I cannot stay silent as a daughter." This show of familial solidarity adds a deeper layer to their public narrative, making their current happiness in the Maldives a significant moment of personal joy and resilience for the couple.
