Actor Jiya Shankar has firmly put an end to swirling rumours about her alleged engagement to YouTuber and reality TV star Fukra Insaan, also known as Abhishek Malhan. Taking to Instagram on Tuesday night, Jiya addressed the speculation head-on with a post that left little room for doubt.
The actress shared a romantic photograph featuring herself and a mystery man, instantly catching fans’ attention. In the image, the unidentified man is seen gently kissing Jiya on the forehead as the two pose closely for the camera, radiating intimacy and affection. The post strongly suggested that Jiya is not romantically involved with Abhishek Malhan, contrary to recent viral claims.
What truly sealed the message was her caption. Directly calling out the rumours, Jiya wrote, “Let’s leave false rumours in 2025!”—a clear dismissal of reports linking her to Abhishek. Her post came just a day after entertainment page Telly Khazana shared a viral update claiming that Jiya and Abhishek had made their relationship official and were planning to get engaged soon. The post even hinted at a possible wedding, sending fans into a frenzy. Around the same time, several users on X also claimed that the two were already engaged, further fuelling the speculation.
Jiya and Abhishek first became close during their stint on Bigg Boss OTT 2, where their on-screen chemistry quickly caught viewers’ attention. The duo later collaborated on a music video, which intensified rumours of a romantic relationship off-screen. However, Jiya has consistently denied these claims.
In 2024, she issued a strong statement clarifying that she and Abhishek were never more than friends—and that even the friendship no longer existed. In a sharply worded post, Jiya slammed meme pages and rumour-mongers for spreading false narratives for attention and views. She made it clear that she had no association with such pages and condemned the personal attacks on her character and family.
Declaring herself “self-made, loud and proud,” Jiya emphasized that her success was solely her own and not linked to any individual. She also urged people to stop dragging her name and her mother into baseless controversies.
With her latest Instagram post, Jiya Shankar has once again drawn a firm boundary, choosing clarity over speculation. Whether fans like it or not, the actor has made one thing abundantly clear—false rumours have no place in her life, now or in the future.
