Overview
- Abhishek Malhan issued a firm Instagram Story saying people should stop linking his name with anyone and that a past reality-show chapter is over.
- He called the rumours a recurring pattern that surfaces every year without basis and asked for respect for his boundaries so he can focus on work.
- Jiya Shankar posted a photo with a mystery man and captioned it, “Let’s leave false rumours in 2025,” distancing herself from the engagement claim.
- Coverage traces the claim to a viral entertainment post, named by one report as Telly Khazana, with further amplification on X by users repeating unverified assertions.
- The pair’s Bigg Boss OTT 2 history and a post-show music video have long fuelled speculation, though Jiya said in 2024 they were only friends and that even that bond ended.
