Janhvi shared, "I will say this, he is, not just for me, but for her (Khushi Kapoor), for dad and everyone in our family, he has been there from the start as a friend. Not in a way that made me feel like he is expecting anything or he is a pushover or any of those things. He was just there in a very selfless dignified way and in a way that I have not seen many men capable of being there for another human being."

Despite the strong bond and support, Janhvi was quick to clarify their relationship status. In a lighthearted manner, she affirmed, "Shikhar and I are just good friends."
