Janhvi Kapoor will be the next guest on Koffee With Karan Season 9 where she will be sharing the couch with actor Varun Dhawan. In the episode, as per a report in The Times of India, Janhvi is set to speak about the support her partner Shikhar Pahariya gave her after the demise of her mother, veteran actor Sridevi, in 2018.
In the episode, Jahnvi will recall how Shikhar, who was studying in London at the time, took time off from his studies to be in Mumbai. They weren’t dating then but she said that she learnt that he had moved into a friend's house in Juhu for a month, simply so he could be around if she needed him.
“I think he was studying in London and he took like half a semester off. He came to Mumbai, and he used to stay in town with his dad then, and I only found out much later that he moved to his friend’s house in Juhu for a month. Not that I was seeing him every day, but later on I just found out that he was like, ‘No, in case she needs me, I just want to be around,” she said.
In 2024, Janhvi appeared on KWK with her sister Khushi Kapoor, where she became emotional while recalling the night they learnt about their mother's death. She remembered how Khushi put aside her own grief to comfort her elder sister. “When I got the call, I was in my room, and I could hear wailing from Khushi’s room, and I think I barged into her room howling and crying. But what I do remember is, the minute she looked at me, she stopped crying. She just stopped crying. She sat next to me and started comforting me. And I have never seen her cry about it since.”
Janhvi and Shikhar have been linked for several years, although the two have largely kept their relationship away from an official public announcement.
