Janhvi Kapoor, Shikhar Pahariya Get Cozy In Unseen Birthday Pic; Khushi-Vedang’s Bond Grabs Eyeballs
An unseen photo from Shikhar Pahariya’s 28th birthday bash in Jamnagar has gone viral, capturing Janhvi Kapoor sharing a cozy moment with Shikhar and Khushi Kapoor standing close to Vedang Raina.
Shikhar Pahariya’s 28th birthday turned into a warm, star-studded family affair, and now an unseen photo from the private celebration in Jamnagar is grabbing attention online. The picture, which surfaced recently on social media, features Janhvi Kapoor, her rumored boyfriend Shikhar, her sister Khushi Kapoor, and Vedang Raina—all wrapped up in what looks like an intimate and themed celebration. Adding to the buzz is the obvious comfort between rumored couples, family members, and close friends, giving fans a rare peek into the personal lives of Bollywood’s next-gen stars.
In the now-viral image, Janhvi Kapoor and Shikhar Pahariya are seen seated casually on the floor alongside their pet dog, sharing a candid, affectionate moment. Dressed in coordinated black-and-white outfits, the duo looked effortlessly at ease in each other’s company. Meanwhile, Khushi Kapoor and The Archies actor Vedang Raina, who’ve been fueling dating rumors for months, were seen standing close together in the frame—subtly reinforcing whispers about their relationship status.

Also present at the celebration was producer and proud father Boney Kapoor, who continues to be a consistent presence in his daughters’ lives—and seemingly, in Shikhar’s as well. The vibe of the evening appeared intimate and relaxed, with a likely white-and-black dress code followed by guests, adding a touch of understated glam to the occasion.
Janhvi and Shikhar’s bond is far from a flash in the pan. The two go way back, with their relationship first blossoming during their school years at École Mondiale World School in Mumbai. Their connection, as Janhvi once shared, has weathered its share of breakups and reconciliations. During interviews, the Roohi actress has been refreshingly honest about the emotional rollercoaster they endured—often breaking up during her teen years, only to patch things up shortly after. She even admitted to ending things with him “almost every month" due to hormonal mood swings, highlighting just how young and tumultuous their early relationship was.
Despite the past turbulence, their connection seems to have matured. Janhvi and Shikhar are now often seen together at public events, temple visits, and family holidays. Their chemistry was once again spotlighted when Janhvi wore a necklace with the name “Shikhu"—Shikhar’s nickname—at the screening of Ajay Devgn’s Maidaan in April 2024, sending social media into a frenzy and pretty much confirming what fans had long suspected.
What makes their story even more compelling is how seamlessly Shikhar has been embraced by Janhvi’s family. From family functions to vacations, he’s often photographed alongside Boney Kapoor and her siblings, a sign that his place in her life goes beyond casual dating.
On the other hand, Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina continue to keep their rumored relationship more low-key. The two, who met while filming The Archies, have been frequently spotted together off-camera—at parties, dinners, and now, at family events. While they haven’t publicly confirmed anything, their body language in photos, frequent appearances, and undeniable comfort with each other are more than enough to keep fans intrigued.
