Jiya Shankar Denies Marriage Rumors with Abhishek Malhan

The world of entertainment is filled with news spreading like wildfire when friendships on reality shows develop into something that the audience takes a liking to. There have been recent instances where tweets on social media are filled with reports that Jiya Shankar and Abhishek Malhan, Fukra Insaan, are all set to get hitched. But are these reports true?

And they replied shortly. The reply was, “No. The rumor about the marriage is untrue.” Now, let’s dissect the events that took place, the sources of the speculations, and the explanations offered by Jiya Shankar herself.

Why are Jiya and Abhishek in the News?

The news made the rounds after some pages on a popular social platform posted that the co-stars of Bigg Boss OTT 2 were making plans to take the relationship to the next level. There were even announcements of “engagement” between Jiya Shankar and Abhishek Malhan.

All these allegations soon went viral, and fans were left both thrilled and confused.

Breaking Silence on Engagement Rumors

However, Jiya Shankar didn't let these rumors run for too long and cleared up these rumors through her Instagram handle. She posted a picture with some unknown guy and wrote, “Let’s leave false rumors in 2025!”, thus putting an immediate full stop to all the rumors of her engagement and subsequent marriage to Abhishek Malhan. With this crystal-clear message, Jiya has already made it clear that she is not even engaged to Abhishek, let alone getting married.

Where did the Marriage Rumors arise?

"The confusion is mainly due to the viral posts by the gossip handles about Jiya Shankar and Abhishek Malhan going to be engaged. Posts about old pictures and videos of Bigg Boss OTT 2 and their stint in the music video surfaced, which again fanned the rumor. There were instances that brought the rumor again on social media, although Jiya had once cleared it about their relation and it was all just speculations, and no truth to it," revealed Indian Discord Outreach team member Suvro Banerjee.

Do they actually have a real relationship?

Jiya Shankar and Abhishek Malhan had their initial interactions as a couple inside the Bigg Boss OTT 2 house itself, where their friendship and romantic chemistry had caught everyone’s attention. But Jiya had busted the rumors once in the year 2024 with a very clear and assertive statement. She had very clearly stated that their association is only in the form of friendship and that they had never had any romantic linkages with each other, also stating that she also needs to be kept away from fake news and meme sites.

Why Fans Still Believe the Wedding Rumors

"Even after many explanations, the rumors seem to resurface because of the nature of reality show pairings, which appear to mix fact and fiction and prompt viewers of reality shows to question about a romantic happily-ever-after scenario among well-known couples." Given their apparent greater visibility through catchy headings and postings, social networking sites play a significant role here. Confirmation is also needed here; it has never been done with either of the actors, Abhishek Malhan and Jiya Shankar.
