Indian television and film actress Jiya Shankar has been making a lot of noise on the internet recently. It’s not just her acting that is being talked about, but also the rumours about her personal life that have been circulating. 

Who Is Jiya Shankar?

Jiya Shankar is a popular Indian actress who has been part of the small screen and Marathi movies. She is known for her characters in the serials “Meri Hanikarak Biwi”, “Kaatelal & Sons”, and the supernatural drama “Pishachini.” She was also a contestant on the reality show “Bigg Boss OTT 2”.

Where Did the Rumours Start?

During their time on Bigg Boss OTT 2, Jiya and Abhishek Malhan shared a strong on-screen rapport that caught fans’ attention. Videos of them together, including long drives and collaborations like vlogs fuelled speculation that they might be more than friends. Entertainment pages later posted claims saying the pair had made their relationship public and that an engagement might be on the cards, which quickly spread across social media.

Jiya Shankar’s Response to the Rumours

Jiya Shankar has firmly denied any marriage plans with Abhishek Malhan. She chose to address the speculation in her own way, sharing a photo with someone else described as a mystery man, signaling that the rumours linking her to Abhishek are untrue. 

The Reality Behind Their Relationship

While Jiya and Abhishek were close during their Bigg Boss OTT 2 stint and even appeared together in a music video, neither party has ever officially confirmed a romantic relationship or engagement. In fact, Jiya has previously clarified that their connection was just friendship, which eventually faded as they pursued separate lives outside the show. Abhishek Malhan himself has described Jiya as a friend in past interviews, and this background makes the marriage rumours even less substantiated.
