Shikhar's importance in Janhvi's life

Despite their frequent public appearances, Janhvi remains reserved about discussing their romance. She has mentioned that Shikhar has been part of her life since she was a teenager and plays a supportive role similar to her late mother, Sridevi, and her father, producer Boney Kapoor. Their bond is deep, with Janhvi revealing that Shikhar is the only person who has ever broken her heart, only to mend it again.

The couple often shares affectionate pictures and comments on each other's social media posts. They have known each other since their school days, evolving from high school sweethearts to a committed couple. Their romance began in 2016 while Janhvi was studying at Ecole Mondiale World School. However, their relationship faced a break when Janhvi moved to Los Angeles for further studies. During the filming of her debut movie 'Dhadak' in 2018, she dated her co-star Ishaan Khatter. After their breakup, Janhvi rekindled her relationship with Shikhar during Diwali 2022, sparking dating rumours with their public appearance together.

Janhvi has openly discussed the ups and downs of their relationship, including frequent breakups followed by passionate reunions. She candidly shared that during her teenage years, she would break up with Shikhar every month due to hormonal changes, only to reconcile with him shortly after. This pattern, although extreme, strengthened their bond over time.

Most recently, during a movie screening of Ajay Devgn's 'Maidaan' in April 2024, Janhvi was seen wearing a necklace with Shikhar's name, 'Shikhu,' further confirming their relationship.
