Karan Johar has revealed the guests for the upcoming episode of Koffee with Karan 8 and its sister duo Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor. Karan Johar took to Instagram on January 1, 2024, and dropped a new promo for the upcoming episode of the show. In the promo, Janhvi confirmed that she is dating rumoured beau Shikhar Pahariya.
At the start of the promo, Janhvi said, “Yesterday night at the party I was just going around asking people to ask me rapid-fire questions. Navya (Naveli Nanda) thinks I am not ready. She said, ‘Don’t go.” Later in the clip, Karan asked Janhvi to name three people on her speed dial and with her answer, the actress confirmed that she is dating Shikhar Pahariya.
Karan said, “Name three people on your speed-dial list.” Janhvi promptly replied, “Papa, Khushu and Shiku.” She quickly realised that she had mentioned Shikhar Pahariya and her reaction left Karan in splits. During the same game, Karan asked Khushi about Janhvi’s past relationships. Janhvi said to Khushi, “I have only dated three boys and we stick to that.”
Janhvi Kapoor had not formally accepted her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya earlier, 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.
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. Janhvi and Shikhar 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.
