Elvish Yadav once again finds himself at the center of internet chatter, proving that it doesn’t take much for the influencer-musician to send social media into overdrive. While his professional projects frequently keep him in the news, it is often his comments and personal life that draw the most attention. This time, however, the buzz wasn’t sparked by speculation alone—Elvish himself lit the fuse.
A single Instagram story shared by Elvish Yadav was enough to trigger widespread rumors, with many fans convinced that wedding bells were about to ring.
The Instagram Story That Started It All
The viral moment began when Elvish posted a photo holding a woman’s hand, prominently featuring a large diamond ring on her finger. What truly set tongues wagging was the fact that he tagged actress Jiya Shankar in the story. Almost instantly, social media was flooded with questions: Was Elvish Yadav announcing his engagement? Had he and Jiya secretly taken the next big step in their relationship?
As excitement grew, a closer look revealed that the image may not be what it initially appeared to be.
‘Gave Love Another Chance’: Caption Fuels Speculation
Soon after the ring photo went viral, another post attributed to Elvish added fuel to the speculation. The caption read, “Gave love another chance and I found my heart.” The emotional message sent fans into a frenzy, with many interpreting it as a heartfelt confirmation of an engagement or a serious relationship milestone.
Screenshots circulated rapidly, and discussions around Elvish Yadav and Jiya Shankar’s relationship once again dominated fan pages and gossip forums.
Bigg Boss OTT 2 Connect Keeps Rumors Alive
The timing couldn’t have been more intriguing, especially given the duo’s history. Elvish and Jiya, both former Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestants, have long been rumored to be dating. However, despite repeated speculation, they have consistently maintained that they are “just friends,” never officially confirming any romantic involvement.
Their off-screen bond has remained under public scrutiny ever since the show ended.
Insiders Dismiss Engagement Talk, Point to Collaboration
Amid the growing buzz, a report by Times Now offered much-needed clarity. According to insiders quoted in the report, there is no engagement and no romantic development to announce. Sources firmly denied any personal involvement between Elvish Yadav and Jiya Shankar, including claims of a secret proposal or wedding plans.
Instead, the report stated that the viral image is connected to an upcoming professional collaboration featuring the two. Insiders added that the photograph hints at the romantic tone of the project, which likely explains the intimate visual and emotionally charged caption.
Jiya Shankar’s Past Dating Rumors Resurface
Jiya Shankar’s personal life has also been a subject of public curiosity in the past. She was earlier rumored to be dating fellow YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 runner-up Abhishek Malhan, popularly known as Fukra Insaan. Jiya, however, firmly denied those claims.
Shortly after, she shared a photo with a mystery man on social media, sparking fresh speculation—though the identity of the person was never revealed.
Who Are Elvish Yadav and Jiya Shankar?
Elvish Yadav and Jiya Shankar were first linked during Bigg Boss OTT 2, the reality show hosted by Salman Khan and streamed on JioHotstar from June 17 to August 14, 2023. Elvish emerged as the winner of the season, while Abhishek Malhan finished as the runner-up. Jiya was eliminated on Day 54, just weeks before the grand finale.
Since then, every interaction between Elvish and Jiya has been closely watched by fans.
Buzz Continues, But No Wedding Bells—Yet
