Television actress Jiya Shankar has set the internet abuzz with speculation about her love life after sharing a cryptic yet romantic video featuring a mystery man. This comes shortly after she publicly dismissed ongoing rumours of an engagement with her Bigg Boss OTT 2 co-contestant, Abhishek Malhan, popularly known as Fukra Insaan.
From Denial to New Romance Buzz
Recently, strong rumours circulated on social media suggesting that Jiya Shankar and Abhishek Malhan were set to tie the knot. However, both parties swiftly shut down these claims. Abhishek Malhan issued a furious denial on his social media, explicitly asking people to stop linking his name with others. He clarified that his association with Jiya ended with the reality show three years ago.
Following suit, Jiya also addressed the rumours, confirming she is neither dating nor engaged to Abhishek. Instead of leaving it at that, she intriguingly hinted at being in a relationship by posting a photo with an unidentified person, cleverly hiding their face.
The Mystery Man and the Viral Clip
The plot thickened with Jiya's latest social media post. The actress, known for her roles in Meri Hanikarak Biwi and Kaatelal and Sons, shared a video of herself walking hand-in-hand with a man. While his face was not revealed, the intimate clip was captioned with lyrics from the song 'Dil Tu Jaan Tu' and a red heart, sending fans into a frenzy of curiosity about his identity.
According to a report by Bollywood Shaadi, speculation is rife that the man in question could be Kaaran Dhanak. Reports suggest Dhanak runs a hookah parlour in the United States and has been linked to legal issues concerning the vape and cannabis business. It is crucial to note that there is no official confirmation from Jiya Shankar about dating Kaaran or anyone else at this moment.
Career Front and Public Appearances
Amid the personal life chatter, Jiya Shankar continues to maintain her professional commitments. Her career portfolio includes popular TV shows and a feature in Riteish Deshmukh's directorial debut film, Ved. The actress was also recently spotted visiting the Siddhivinayak Temple, drawing attention from her followers.
The sequence of events—from a strong denial of engagement rumours to teasing a new romance—has successfully kept Jiya Shankar in the news. While fans eagerly await an official reveal of her boyfriend's identity, the actress has mastered the art of keeping the public guessing, proving that her life off-screen is as engaging as her on-screen performances.
