His dating rumors with Jhanvi Kapoor began when the photos of the duo kissing each other went viral on the internet in 2016.
When Jhanvi Kapoor’s dating rumors with Shikhar were in full bloom, she was going to start her career in Bollywood. Reportedly, to avoid such rumors and let Jhanvi focus on her career, her mother, Sridevi induced a ‘no dating clause’ on her daughter, which led to their breakup.
After the debut of Jhanvi Kapoor with the film “Dhadak” (2018), Shikar posted the logo of her film on his Instagram story.
In 2018, Shikhar posted a photo of two silhouettes at Italy’s Lake Como on his social media accounts. Soon, after she posted the video, many started to speculate the silhouettes to be of Shikhar and Jhanvi Kapoor, based on news of Jhanvi being in Italy for the wedding of Isha Ambani.
He is a good friend of Sara Tendulkar, and Javed Jaffrey’s daughter Alaviaa Jaaferi.
