Boney Kapoor is looking forward to the release of his upcoming film Maidaan, a sports drama featuring Ajay Devgn as the late Indian football coach Syed Abdul Rahim. During a recent interview, he also touched upon the topic of his daughter Janhvi Kapoor’s rumoured boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya.
Speaking to Zoom, Boney Kapoor said, “I love him (Shikhar) and in fact, in between a couple of years back Janhvi was not seeing him but I was still friendly to him. I was convinced he can never be an ex. He’ll be around. When any person is there for you in any capacity whether it’s for me, whether it’s for Janhvi, whether it’s for Arjun, he is friendly to all. So I feel we’re blessed to have somebody like him in our set up.”
Janhvi Kapoor has not formally accepted her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya, but she never shied away from stepping out with him on lunch and dinner dates. The rumoured lovebirds recently partied together as Shikhar attended Janhvi’s sister Khushi Kapoor’s birthday bash. They even took a vacation to the Maldives together and Shikhar was also present at Janhvi’s uncle, Anil Kapoor’s birthday party. On her 27th birthday last month, Janhvi, along with Shikhar and close friend Orry, aka Orhan Awatramani, visited the Tirupati Temple. Several pictures of the trio from the temple premises also surfaced on the internet,
Shikhar Pahariya is the grandson of politician and Maharashtra’s former Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde. Reportedly, Shikhar and Janhvi were in a serious relationship earlier but then broke up. Karan Johar in Koffee With Karan season 7 almost confirmed the dating rumours, but Janhvi then maintained that she was single. The duo reportedly patched up last year. They are often spotted together now and Shikhar has also posed for paps with Boney Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor on several occasions.
