Shikhar Pahariya MISSING from Janhvi’s birthday dump while his Insta wish sparks buzz

Actor Janhvi Kapoor rang in her 29th birthday in a deeply spiritual way this year. Instead of a glamorous bash, the actor chose devotion and quiet celebration as she visited the sacred Tirumala Venkateswara Temple on March 6. Janhvi undertook the traditional Alipiri footpath trek, climbing nearly 3,500 steps barefoot to reach the hilltop temple. The journey reportedly stretched over several kilometres and took a few hours to complete. Dressed in a simple white floral kurta during the climb and later seen in a graceful pink half-saree, the actor’s videos from the pilgrimage quickly began circulating online. Fans praised her dedication and the calm, grounded way she chose to begin her special day.

Inside her birthday dump — friends, decor and candid moments

Later in the day, Janhvi treated fans to a birthday photo carousel on Instagram, offering a glimpse into her intimate celebrations. The collection of pictures featured moments from her Tirumala visit along with glimpses of her cosy birthday setup at home.

The photos showed thoughtful decorations, balloons, party caps, and a beautifully arranged dinner table. One of the sweetest details was her birthday cake that read “Happy Birthday Ladoo.”

Along with the décor, Janhvi also shared cheerful snapshots with friends who accompanied her on the temple trip. In some photos, she glowed in a pink saree while posing for the camera, while others captured relaxed, candid moments in traditional outfits like an elegant anarkali.

While the post was filled with warmth and laughter, fans quickly noticed one person missing from the photo carousel, her rumoured boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya, who is often seen accompanying the actor on temple visits and vacations.

Shikhar’s sweet birthday wish and love from close ones

Even though he did not appear in the birthday photo dump, Shikhar still made sure to send Janhvi a heartfelt wish. Taking to Instagram Stories, he shared a cute picture of the actor and wrote a simple “Happy Birthday,” adding a red heart emoji.

The actor also received plenty of love from family and friends. Sister Khushi Kapoor posted adorable unseen moments with Janhvi, while cousin Sonam Kapoor joined the list of celebrities wishing her on social media. Her upcoming co-star Ram Charan also sent warm birthday greetings.

On the work front, Janhvi is gearing up for her next big release, Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The sports action drama is scheduled to hit theatres on April 30 and marks her second Telugu project after Devara: Part 1 with Jr NTR.
