Recently, actress Jiya Shankar grabbed attention after sharing a picture with a mystery man. While she did not reveal his identity, the photo was enough to set social media buzzing. Soon after, rumours began linking the man in the picture to Bigg Boss OTT 2 fame Abhishek Malhan, popularly known as Fukra Insaan.
As expected, fans and gossip pages were quick to draw connections. Many assumed that Abhishek was the mystery man, and some even went a step further by suggesting that the two were engaged.
The speculation gained momentum after Abhishek Malhan and Jiya Shankar shared screen space on Bigg Boss OTT 2, where their bond was closely observed by viewers. However, Abhishek has now decided to address the rumours directly and put an end to all assumptions.
Taking to social media, Abhishek Malhan shared a strong, clear message, requesting people to stop linking his name to anyone. Without naming Jiya Shankar directly, he made it evident that the engagement rumours were baseless and unnecessary. His statement reflected frustration but also a desire to move forward without being pulled into gossip.
In his post, Abhishek clarified that he was part of a reality show three years ago and that phase of his life ended there. He reminded everyone that his choices and stance were very clear even back then, and nothing has changed since. By saying this, he emphasised that revisiting old narratives serves no purpose and only creates confusion.
What caught attention was Abhishek pointing out that such rumours have become a pattern. He mentioned that almost every year, similar stories resurface without any reason or context.
Ending his statement, Abhishek requested everyone to respect his personal space and let things rest. He expressed disappointment that his name is linked so often without his consent and stressed the importance of boundaries, even for public figures.
Jiya Shankar, on the other hand, has not reacted to the speculation or Abhishek’s statement so far. Her post with the mystery man remains unexplained, and she continues to focus on her professional commitments.
This episode once again highlights how quickly rumours can spread in the digital age. A single photo can lead to multiple assumptions, often at the expense of the individuals involved.
