Ishqbaaaz has been one show which made headlines for many reasons, be it the production value, the storyline, the power pack performance by Nakuul Mehta, and Surbhi Chandna or the sizzling chemistry they brought on-screen as Shivika.
The show went off-air in 2019. Nakuul, Surbhi, Leenesh Mattoo (Rudra) remember it thanking fans for their unconditional love and support.
Nakuul Mehta shared a video on his Instagram and captioned, “When your audience celebrates a fictional character’s birthday – SSO ❤️ You gaiz are NUTS! Thank you for keeping the memories alive. 😊 #Repost @procrastinator.sara
Celebrating the birthday of a man who is a legacy! ❤️ thanks to @hajiraprvn @swetha_v8 @priyaasankar @nehabpandya sharmagunjan16 @pribhadra12 @officiall_shivika24 @arizaash and many others ❤️ @nakuulmehta thank you for embracing Shivaay and making him a part of our heart forever! 💘💛”
Nakuul and Surbhi as Shivaay and Annika won hearts like never before and their offscreen camaraderie was equally loved.
The two continue to be good friends outside work and while Nakuul went on to do web series and experimental work, Surbhi is currently seen in Naagin 5 as Adi Naagin.
