Too cute to be just co-stars? Shanaya & Abhay’s bond gets the netizens talking

Bollywood’s newest on-screen pair, Shanaya Kapoor and Abhay Verma, are grabbing all the attention and this time, it’s not just for their upcoming work. A heartwarming video from the screening of Shanaya’s film Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan is currently doing the rounds on social media, sparking chatter among fans who can’t get enough of their adorable chemistry off-screen.

The clip shows a tender moment between the two actors as they interact during the star-studded premiere. Abhay and Shanaya can be seen holding hands, sharing a light moment while he appears to be praising her performance in the film. Their easy camaraderie and natural comfort with one another have left fans speculating that there’s more to their bond than just being co-stars.

The two are currently working on an untitled project, a romantic drama helmed by Rock On 2 director Shujaat Saudagar. Shanaya and Abhay began shooting for the film in Goa earlier this year and have been spotted multiple times around the city since then.

A few weeks ago, the duo was seen stepping out for a movie together, further fueling buzz around their off-screen rapport. While they kept things low-key and avoided the paparazzi, fans were quick to share videos online, only adding to the excitement around their pairing.

Shanaya Kapoor, making her big-screen debut with Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan opposite Vikrant Massey, seems to be off to a flying start. She’s also part of Bejoy Nambiar’s survival thriller Tu Yaa Main with Adarsh Gourav, slated for a Valentine’s Day 2026 release. Meanwhile, Abhay Verma, who impressed audiences in Munjya, is reportedly gearing up for a major role in Shah Rukh Khan’s action film King, co-starring Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone.

Whether it’s a budding friendship or something more, one thing is clear, Shanaya and Abhay are fast becoming a fan-favourite duo to watch out for.
