Actress Janhvi Kapoor religiously visits Tirupati and seeks blessing from the Lord. It is a tradition that her late mother Sridevi would also follow. On Monday, video of Janhvi visiting the temple in Andhra Pradesh surfaced. She was accompanied by her rumoured boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya. 


Janhvi was captured by the paparazzi as she exited the temple after darshan. She was dressed in a lilac half saree for the temple visit and had her hair tied in a plait. While she is usually accompanied by a family member, this time she was seen with her rumoured boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya. Shikhar was seen in a traditional white veshti and angavastram. 


The actor often visits the Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple. Last year she went there to celebrate her birthday and also offered prayers a few months ago. However soon after the video surfaced, a quiet storm of rumours emerged as whispers of Janhvi Kapoor's engagement started making the rounds. The reality behind the buzz was far from a flashy headline—it was a tale deep connection to her mother's legacy. Janhvi Kapoor had previously shared in interviews that the Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple held a poignant place in her heart. Every year, Janhvi embarks on a pilgrimage to Tirupati, a tradition she observed to honor her late mother, the legendary Sridevi.

This year, on her mother's birthday, Janhvi found herself engrossed in the shooting of Ulajh in Bhopal. Her commitment to her craft led her away from the birthday celebrations she held dear. Janhvi also wore her mother's jewelry and made her way to the temple. Amidst the rumors of a possible engagement, the real story was one of Janhvi's connection to her mother. 

While Janhvi has never openly spoken about her relationship, she is often spotted with Shikhar in public. Last month, Janhvi and Shikhar were seen arriving together in the same car at the former's half-brother Arjun Kapoor's house. Shikhar was also seen attending the NMACC opening earlier this year with Janhvi's father Boney Kapoor. He was also seen with Boney Kapoor at different events.  Shikhar is the grandson of former Maharashtra chief minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, and is an entrepreneur.
