Janhvi Kapoor discusses how her boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya, supported her after the death of her mother, actress Sridevi, in 2018. Kapoor says that, while studying in London at the time, Pahariya put his education on hold so he could be there for her, and she describes this support as happening even before they were officially dating.
The reports, all centred on Kapoor’s comments connected to her appearance on Karan Johar’s talk show “Koffee With Karan,” present the same broad storyline: Pahariya’s willingness to be nearby and his decision to step back from studies to provide comfort. Across outlets, the emphasis is on the relationship’s long-running nature and the circumstances around the period after Sridevi’s passing.
While details are largely consistent, one outlet also adds more specific background about where Pahariya stayed during that time and how Kapoor later learned he had moved closer to her. Other coverage keeps the focus more tightly on the emotional support and education pause.
