YRKKH costars Hina Khan & Shivangi Joshi bury past differences? Former says: ‘Little sister..’

Actor Hina Khan, who is currently undergoing treatment for stage 3 breast cancer, received a warm gesture from Shivangi Joshi, her former co-star from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Shivangi sent her a bouquet of roses, and the moment has since made its way to social media, drawing quiet appreciation from fans.

Hina shared the gift on her Instagram story with a heartfelt note. Alongside a selfie of the two, she wrote, “THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY FLOWERS MY DEAREST SHIVANGI.. PLZ KNOW THAT. I AM ALWAYS ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU LITTLE SISTER. NO MATTER WHAT.. BIG LOVE.” She also tagged Shivangi and added the Bruno Mars track Count On Me, setting an emotional tone.

This brief yet meaningful interaction comes at a time when rumours of friction between the two have been widely discussed online. The reports date back to their days on Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, when Hina Khan played Akshara and Shivangi was introduced later as Naira, Akshara’s daughter, after the show took a generation leap.

Allegations had surfaced that Hina was unhappy with how the leap was handled, especially when it came to scenes that positioned Shivangi’s character in the spotlight. Some reports even claimed that Hina refused to perform scenes that favoured the new narrative arc. However, both actors have maintained in interviews and public interactions that there was no lasting conflict. This recent gesture from Shivangi, and Hina’s warm reply, quietly reinforces that sentiment.

Beyond this moment, Hina Khan has been receiving support from across the industry since sharing her cancer diagnosis. While she continues her treatment, she also recently tied the knot with longtime partner Rocky Jaiswal, marking a personal milestone in the middle of a difficult period. Meanwhile, Shivangi Joshi has also remained active in the television space, with recent roles keeping her in the public eye.

In a space where public relationships often play out with loud headlines and vague denials, this exchange between Hina and Shivangi offered something different — a simple message of care, which spoke more than any press note or statement could. Sometimes, a bouquet really does say it all.
