Shivangi Joshi, widely recognized for her role in Star Plus’s hit show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, recently made headlines due to dating rumors involving her Barsaatein co-star, Kushal Tandon. Joshi decided to break her silence on these rumors and took to Instagram, a platform she frequently uses to connect with her fans, to set the record straight.
On her Instagram story, Shivangi shared a heartfelt message addressing the misinterpretation of her words. She expressed her disappointment, saying, “I’m very disappointed by a group of people for misconstruing my words and misinterpreting them. Recently, at an event, I was asked a generic question about a lot of rumors going around, to which I said, ‘That’s what rumors are for, right? They come and go.’ Unfortunately, my response was tweaked with voiceover, and the outcome was a lot of uncalled-for remarks and statements causing emotional turmoil for my family and me. I’ve always kept my personal life private and refrained from talking about it in open forums. Hence, I request you to kindly respect my privacy. When the time is right, you will know. But taking advantage of someone’s generic statement and bashing them and their families is not at all human. I respect everyone, and I expect the same in return.”
The rumors about Shivangi Joshi and Kushal Tandon began while they were working together on the popular show Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka. Shivangi plays Aradhana Sahni, and Kushal portrays Reyansh Lamba. Their strong on-screen chemistry and close off-screen friendship have sparked speculation about a possible romantic relationship, with some reports even suggesting they might get engaged soon. However, both actors have consistently denied these rumors.
Despite their denials, a recent vacation video of the duo went viral on social media, reigniting fans’ curiosity and further fueling interest in their relationship.
