Janhvi Kapoor Confirms Shikhar Pahariya, Wedding in 2-3 Years
On Koffee With Karan 9, Janhvi Kapoor said she is dating entrepreneur-polo player Shikhar Pahariya and shared when marriage could happen.
Janhvi Kapoor has finally removed the mystery around her bond with Shikhar Pahariya. On the latest episode of Koffee With Karan 9, the actor confirmed that they are dating — and gave a clear, unhurried answer about marriage.
The confirmation came early
Sharing the couch with Varun Dhawan, Janhvi was asked by host Karan Johar whether she was officially dating the entrepreneur and polo player. Her reply was direct: ‘Yeah, I am.’
She then explained why she no longer chooses secrecy. Janhvi said she does not want to attract nazar or reveal everything about her personal life, but she also does not see the point in tiptoeing around a relationship that is already public. As she put it, it is ‘not a big deal.’
A wedding, but not immediately
Karan Johar followed up with the question fans have asked for months: when will they marry? Janhvi was just as plain. ‘Not for another 2-3 years for sure,’ she said.
That timeline gives her and Shikhar a long runway and tells the audience not to expect a wedding this season or next. It also frames the relationship as steady but unhurried.
How Janhvi and Shikhar got here
The relationship has drawn constant attention because so much of it has played out in public.
- Early meeting: They met when Janhvi was around 15 or 16.
- On and off: The two have had an on-and-off equation for years.
- Around 2018: Reports say they parted ways around Janhvi’s film debut.
- 2022: They rekindled their romance and have since been seen at parties, family functions and temples.
Shikhar Pahariya is not a film industry outsider in every sense. He is an entrepreneur and polo player, the grandson of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, and the brother of actor Veer Pahariya.
Why this reveal lands differently
On a show built on candid confessions, Janhvi’s answer still stood out for its ease. She did not frame the relationship as breaking news; she treated it as ordinary. That is a shift from the careful ‘no comment’ era many young stars still follow.
For fans, the clarity changes what they can look forward to: more joint appearances and family moments, but no wedding pressure for at least two to three years.
It is also a reminder that Koffee With Karan remains the default stage for Bollywood’s most-watched personal reveals. By answering two short questions, Janhvi handed the show its headline and left the rest of her private life off-camera.
For now, fans can read the couple’s next public appearance as confirmation that they are comfortable in the spotlight. The next big moment, if her timeline holds, is not a shaadi invitation but a slower, more visible chapter.
