Janhvi Kapoor Says Marriage to Shikhar Pahariya Is 'Two to Three Years' Away on Koffee With Karan
Not for another two to three years.
Mark
What did Janhvi actually say about marriage?
Mimi
That it isn't happening soon. Two to three years, in answer to Karan asking how long she expected to wait.
Luke
Worth noting that's a loose estimate said on a talk show, not an announcement or a plan with a date.
Mark
She also talked about Shikhar and her mother's death.
Mimi
Yes. She said he came back from London to Mumbai, stayed with his father in South Mumbai, then with a friend in Juhu for about a month, just to be close by.
Luke
That's her account of it, and she said she learned of his reasoning later. She wasn't seeing him daily.
Mark
And the line about separate breakups?
Mimi
She said they managed with each other through their own breakups with other people. It frames the bond as something that held through other relationships.
Mark
Then the concert remark about Veer Pahariya.
Mimi
Rapid-fire round. Karan asked for dating advice for Veer, and she said never take her to a concert.
Luke
Careful here. The reported Veer and Tara split in January 2026 is unconfirmed as to cause. The AP Dhillon video circulated, but it doesn't show why they broke up, and Janhvi didn't explain her joke.
O Pulso
- Janhvi Kapoor told Koffee with Karan 9 that marriage to Shikhar Pahariya is two to three years off, not imminent.
- Her account of their bond surviving separate breakups keeps the couple's private history in the spotlight.
- A joke about never taking Tara Sutaria to a concert lands amid unconfirmed reports of Veer Pahariya's split.
- A circulating clip of Sutaria with AP Dhillon has stoked online chatter, though it explains nothing about why the pair parted.
On a late-night talk show, Janhvi Kapoor offered a measured answer about her future: marriage to Shikhar Pahariya is still two or three years away, and not something to rush. In telling how their bond has held through separate heartbreaks and through grief over her mother's death, she sketched a relationship built on steady presence rather than public declarations. The moment also drifted into the familiar ritual of celebrity gossip, where a joke about a cousin's love life becomes a stand-in for a story no one has fully confirmed. What remains is a clear statement of intent, set against the noise of speculation.
Asked how long she expected to wait before marrying, Janhvi Kapoor gave a short answer on Koffee with Karan 9: not for another two to three years. Sitting on the couch alongside Varun Dhawan, she was speaking about Shikhar Pahariya, and she framed the matter as a timeline rather than a date.
Karan Johar then widened the conversation to other couples, naming Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora, Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina, and Veer Pahariya and Tara Sutaria. Janhvi said she and Shikhar had kept their bond intact through separate breakups with other people, managing each other through those periods with a practiced ease. She also recalled how Shikhar came back from London to Mumbai after her mother Sridevi died, staying first with his father and then in a friend's Juhu home for about a month. She was not seeing him daily, but he wanted to be close in case she needed him.
Varun Dhawan, married and a father of one, was asked whether he could comfortably meet his exes. He said his ex can live her life, and that he is happy where he is now.
The lighter moment came in the rapid-fire round, when Johar asked what dating advice Janhvi would give Veer Pahariya. Her reply was brief: never take her to a concert. The line landed because Veer and Tara reportedly ended things in January 2026 after about a year together. The reason has not been confirmed, and a viral video of Sutaria performing with AP Dhillon, in which he hugs and kisses her cheek, has only fed speculation.
The clip does not establish why the couple parted, and Janhvi's game-show quip is not an explanation. What stands on the record is her own outlook: marriage to Shikhar is a few years ahead, not now.
Asked how long she expected to wait before getting married, Janhvi Kapoor gave a short answer on Koffee with Karan 9: not for another two to three years. She was sitting on the couch with Varun Dhawan, and host Karan Johar had steered the conversation toward their personal lives. The answer was about her relationship with Shikhar Pahariya, and it came with a timeline rather than a date.
Johar then widened the question to other celebrity couples. He named Arjun Kapoor and Malaika Arora, Khushi Kapoor and Vedang Raina, and Veer Pahariya and Tara Sutaria. Janhvi spoke about her own history with Shikhar in that context. She said the two had kept their bond intact through separate breakups with other people. In her words, they managed with each other through those periods, and they are good at managing.
She also described what Shikhar did after the death of her mother, Sridevi. According to Janhvi, he came back from London to Mumbai so that he would be nearby. He first stayed with his father in South Mumbai, then moved into a friend's home in Juhu, where he remained for about a month. She said she was not seeing him every day, but learned later that his reasoning was simple: in case she needed him, he wanted to be around.
Varun Dhawan, a husband and father of one, was asked whether he is comfortable meeting his exes. He pointed to his present life. He said he is married, that his ex and whoever she is with now can do what they want, and that he is happy where he is.
The lighter moment came in the rapid-fire round. Johar asked Janhvi what dating advice she would give Veer Pahariya, Shikhar's relative by name. Her answer was brief: never take her to a concert.
The line drew attention because of reports that Veer Pahariya and Tara Sutaria ended their relationship in January 2026 after dating for about a year. The reason for the reported split has not been confirmed. Online speculation grew after a video circulated of Sutaria performing with singer AP Dhillon at a Mumbai concert. In the clip, Dhillon hugs Tara and kisses her on the cheek. Veer's reaction to the moment also made the rounds online and fed discussion about the couple.
The video, however, does not establish why the two reportedly parted. Janhvi's remark, delivered in a game-show setting, is not an explanation either. What the episode does put on the record is her own outlook: marriage to Shikhar is something she sees a few years ahead, not now.
