Rumours of Jiya and Abhishek’s engagement

This news follows a viral post from Telly Khazana, which had previously reported that Jiya and Abhishek were planning to get engaged, with a wedding likely in the near future. The post stated, "It's official! Fukra Insaan and Jiya Shankar have made their relationship public, and reports say an engagement could be on the way. Wishing this cute couple love and happiness always (sic)." However, other viral posts on X (formerly Twitter) had already claimed that the pair were already engaged.

When Jiya clarified about her relationship with Abhishek

Jiya and Abhishek, who were both contestants on Bigg Boss OTT 2, further fueled relationship speculation after they collaborated on a music video. However, in 2024, Jiya clarified that their relationship had always been platonic, stating they were never more than just friends.

"Saying this for ONE LAST TIME to whoever it concerns! I've got nothing to do with Fukra Insaan or these meme pages. We shared nothing but friendship, & even that no longer exists. I don't even follow any of these meme pages or have any knowledge of how this works. I always assumed them making this sort of stuff for views, or I've no idea if someone pays for this s***, but if the blame comes on me with nasty comments on my character & family, then hear it, panda gang, I'M SELF MADE, LOUD & PROUD! I'm because of ME and not because of anyone else. Way above these CHEAP STUNTS! So stay in your lane & keep my mother's & my name out of your filthy mouths," she had written.
