Janhvi Kapoor went barefoot at Siddhivinayak Temple.
Actress Janhvi Kapoor was seen paying a visit and seeking blessings at the revered Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai in the wee hours of Tuesday on the occasion of Gudi Padwa. And she was not alone; in fact, she was accompanied by none other than her boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya’s mother, Smruti Shinde.
Janhvi Kapoor was accompanied by Shikhar’s mother.
Janhvi visited the temple around 6 a.m. on Tuesday to avoid the commotion of fans and inconvenience to the locals later. She looked beautiful without makeup in a simple salwar suit and was barefoot as she got off her car. The actress walked all the way from Bandra to Siddhivinayak barefoot with Shikhar’s mother, and a member of the temple trust was seen escorting them inside. Janhavi could have prayed for his father’s next release, “Maidaan,” which is slated to release on April 11, 2024.
Janhvi is very religious and spiritual.
Janhvi is often seen visiting various temples and religious places, and during most of her trips, Shikhar accompanies him, but this time he chose to give it a miss. This time, she was seen with his mother.
Boney Kapoor confirmed their relationship.
Meanwhile, Janhvi’s father, Boney Kapoor, had recently confirmed the actress’ relationship with Shikhar during an interview and stated that he was blessed to have him in their lives. “He is, and any person who has been there for you in any capacity, whether it is for Janhvi, whether it is for me, whether it is for Arjun, he is friendly to all. I feel we are really blessed to have somebody like him in our setup,” the producer said.
Boney Kapoor did not pose with Shikhar.
Recently, Boney was seen flying out of Mumbai with Shikhar. The producer was also seen posing for the paparazzi; however, when asked to pose with Pahariya, he refused to do so. Responding to this, Boney said that Shikhar did not want to be clicked. “He probably wanted me to have the limelight, so it wouldn’t be diluted by him being there. Or the headlines would have been ‘Shikhar and Boney’ instead of just Boney.”
Janhvi went to Tirupati Balaji Temple on her birthday.
On Janhvi’s birthday too last month, Shikhar was seen accompanying her to Tirupati Balaji temple, and the two of them climbed the steps of the temple on their knees and walked miles barefoot to seek blessings from Lord Ayappa.
