How the Engagement Rumours Started

The speculation began after a viral post by a popular entertainment page claimed that Jiya Shankar and Abhishek Malhan had made their relationship public and were planning to take the next step. The post suggested that an engagement announcement could be imminent, triggering excitement among some fans.

Soon after, several posts on X went a step further, claiming that the duo was already engaged. These unverified claims spread rapidly, prompting confusion and debate across fan communities.

Jiya’s Instagram post now appears to be a direct response to this wave of misinformation.

Jiya Shankar and Abhishek Malhan’s History

Jiya Shankar and Abhishek Malhan first became associated after participating together in Bigg Boss OTT 2. Their on-screen chemistry and friendly bond inside the reality show quickly caught viewers’ attention, leading to speculation about a possible romantic connection.

The buzz intensified when the two later collaborated on a music video, further fueling rumours of a relationship beyond friendship. However, both had maintained a largely reserved stance regarding the nature of their bond.

Jiya’s Earlier Clarification on Their Relationship

In 2024, Jiya Shankar had already addressed rumours linking her romantically to Abhishek Malhan. In a strongly worded statement on social media, she clarified that their relationship never went beyond friendship and that even that bond no longer existed.

She expressed frustration over meme pages and rumours targeting her personal life, stating that she was self-made and did not owe her success to anyone else. Jiya also condemned comments directed at her character and family, making it clear that she would not tolerate such narratives.

That statement had temporarily calmed speculation, though rumours resurfaced recently following the viral engagement claims.

Public Reaction and Fan Response

Following Jiya’s latest clarification, many fans expressed support for the actress, applauding her for drawing clear boundaries and addressing misinformation directly. Others criticized gossip pages for spreading unverified claims that can impact celebrities’ personal lives.

Where Things Stand Now

With Jiya Shankar explicitly calling the engagement rumours with Abhishek Malhan “false,” it appears that the actress has put the matter to rest. Her recent Instagram post strongly indicates that she is not dating Abhishek Malhan, contrary to viral claims.

For now, both celebrities seem focused on their respective careers, and fans will have to wait for official confirmations rather than relying on speculation.
