Before Janhvi Kapoor and ‘shiku’, these celebs confirmed their relationship without actually saying the words

Earlier this year on Koffee With Karan, the actor revealed that her beau Shiku, who is the grandson of the former CM of Maharashtra Sushil Kumar Shinde, is on her speed dial. She also stated that he used to sing ‘nadaan parindey ghar aaja’ for her when they were broken up. But last night at the premiere of her father Boney Kapoor’s film Maidaan, Janhvi confirmed that she is dating Pahariya when she arrived wearing a necklace which said ‘shiku’.
