Only at 23, Jannat Zubair has already become one of India’s best-performing and highest-paid TV actresses. She is reportedly paid lakhs per episode. But she has also been successful in her personal life—her love life has been a subject of much discussion, especially her reported affair with TikTok sensation and social media influencer Faisal Shaikh, commonly referred to as ‘Mr. Faisu.’

Speculations regarding their split gained traction when eagle-eyed fans spotted that Jannat had unfollowed Faisal on Instagram. It wasn’t only Jannat—her brother Ayaan Zubair and mother Nazneen unfollowed him too, making the rumors all the more real.

Interestingly, Faisal Shaikh continues to follow Jannat, her brother, and her mother, adding more drama to the picture.

Jannat Zubair’s Cryptic Instagram Post Worries Fans

While all the “follow-unfollow” drama was happening, Jannat Zubair shared a set of images on Instagram on March 11, 2025. In them, she looked barefaced, sporting a cream-coloured shawl. Though she smiled, the smile betrayed an intensity of thinking.

Alongside the images, she wrote:

“Accept what is, let go of what was, and trust in what’s to come.”

This cryptic post left fans speculating if there was something amiss in her personal life. The comments space was soon filled with reactions. One of them wrote:

“Jannat, Ayaan, and Aunty have unfollowed Faisal? I can’t believe it!”

Another asked:

“Jannat, you should have stood by Faisal! Looks like Gourav won ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ and Faisal may be upset. You shouldn’t have abandoned him!”

Faisal Shaikh’s Hint at Marriage

Earlier, though the couple never publicly confirmed their relationship, their relationship was frequently discussed. On the show Celebrity MasterChef, Faisal made a comment that left the fans thrilled.

When his culinary skills were complimented on the show, Faisal jokingly said:

“After this show, my marriage is definitely happening!”

Although he did not mention anyone, acclaimed director Farah Khan jokingly replied:

“I’ll give you a tour of Jannat” – a play on words referencing Jannat Zubair’s name.

Who is Jannat Zubair?

Jannat Zubair gained fame on television and eventually became an online sensation on apps such as TikTok, Dubsmash, and Musical.ly.

She began her career as an actor in 2007 with Dill Mill Gayye, made her appearance in Mattie Ki Banno in 2010, and achieved success in the character of Phulwa in 2011–2012.

Though she also appeared in Bollywood movies such as Luv Ka The End and Hichki, she failed to leave a lasting impression in the movie industry. Rather, her social media supremacy assisted her in creating a huge fan base, rendering her one of India’s most powerful digital celebrities.
