Rumours can spread faster than facts especially in the world of social media. Actor Jiya Shankar recently found herself at the centre of one such storm after reports claimed that she was all set to marry influencer and YouTuber Fukra Insaan also known as Abhishek Malhan. The buzz picked up so much pace that Jiya finally decided to speak up and clear the air once and for all. The speculation began after a popular entertainment page shared a post claiming that Jiya and Abhishek had made their relationship official and were planning to take the next big step. The post even congratulated the duo calling them a “cute couple” and hinting at an upcoming engagement. Naturally fans were quick to react and the internet went into overdrive. So what really happened? Soon after the rumours started doing the rounds Jiya took to Instagram and shared a picture that instantly caught attention. In the photo she was seen with a man who kissed her on the forehead sparking even more curiosity. However she made it clear without naming anyone that the man in the picture was not Abhishek Malhan. The post subtly but firmly shut down the wedding gossip. What did Jiya say about Abhishek Malhan? This isn’t the first time Jiya has had to address rumours linking her with Abhishek. Last year she had already spoken strongly about the issue after repeated speculation following their stint on Bigg Boss OTT 2 and their music video collaboration. In a strongly worded note Jiya had clarified that there was never any romantic involvement between her and Abhishek. She wrote that their equation was purely friendly and even that friendship no longer existed. She also expressed her frustration over meme pages and gossip accounts spreading false narratives for views and engagement. Why did she speak up now? Jiya made it clear that while she usually ignores online noise dragging her name character and family into baseless rumours crosses a line. She stated that she is self-made proud of her journey and does not owe anyone explanations for made-up stories. Her message was firm emotional and unapologetic. What’s the truth behind the rumours? Simply put there is no wedding no secret relationship and no engagement. Jiya Shankar has once again clarified that the stories linking her romantically with Fukra Insaan are completely false. As social media continues to blur the line between fact and fiction Jiya’s response stands as a reminder that not everything trending online is true. Sometimes a loud rumour needs an even louder truth and this time she made sure her voice was heard
