Pranali Rathod and Aashay Mishra share sweet moments amid dating rumours

TV actress Pranali Rathod, best known for playing Akshara in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, has once again caught everyone’s attention on social media. This time, it’s because of a cute picture she posted with fellow actor Aashay Mishra, sparking more talk about whether the two are dating in real life.

The photo, shared on Pranali’s Instagram, shows both actors smiling warmly at each other, creating a very affectionate moment. Their closeness in the picture has made fans wonder if there’s more than just friendship between them. Though neither Pranali nor Aashay has confirmed anything about their relationship, their bond has definitely become the talk of the town.

This isn’t the first time fans have noticed something between the two. Earlier, Pranali shared a birthday post for Aashay, which included a collage of unseen pictures where she was seen leaning on him. The caption read, “Pingsss,” along with a sweet birthday message. This post had already started rumours of a possible romantic connection.

Their friendship first became public when they worked together on the TV show Durga – Atoot Prem Kahani, which aired between September 2024 and January 2025. In the show, Pranali played Durga and Aashay played Dr. Anurag Singh Rathore. Viewers loved their on-screen chemistry, and since the show ended, the two have often been seen together at events and on social media.

Things escalated recently when a video of them celebrating Holi went viral. In the video, they looked very close and happy in each other’s company. Many fans commented on how comfortable they seemed, and speculated even more about their real-life bond.

Pranali’s recent post has again flooded the comments section with questions about whether the two are planning to get married or are already dating. However, both actors have stayed quiet and haven’t said anything officially.

At the same time, fans have also remembered Pranali’s earlier link-up with her YRKKH co-star Harshad Chopda. They had great chemistry on screen and were often seen together off-screen. However, when Pranali removed most photos of Harshad from her Instagram, it led fans to believe that something had changed between them—just before the current buzz around Aashay began.

Both Pranali and Aashay have become popular through their television careers—Aashay with shows like Story 9 Months Ki and Shubh Laabh, and Pranali through various popular dramas. While they keep their personal lives private, fans can’t help but notice the closeness they show online.

For now, their sweet moments continue to spark excitement among fans, who are eager to know if love is truly in the air.
