The 31-year-old actress, celebrated for her roles in shows like Meri Hanikarak Biwi and Kaatelal & Sons, has also been sharing a string of cryptic and emotionally charged posts on her social media handles, further intensifying the breakup rumours.
Jiyaa Shankar's Romance Takes a Troubled Turn
Jiyaa Shankar and Kaaran Dhanak made headlines just a few months ago when they publicly announced their engagement. On August 5, 2026, Jiyaa shared a series of romantic pictures from their dreamy proposal, capturing hearts with her heartfelt caption about finding love when she least expected it. She had then revealed details of their long-distance relationship, writing, "Every conversation with you even though you were thousands of miles away from me, felt like home."
Kaaran Dhanak, identified as a US-based entrepreneur reportedly running a hookah parlour, was introduced to her followers amidst much fanfare. The engagement news had come after Jiyaa had previously debunked rumours of a romantic link-up with Bigg Boss OTT 2 co-contestant Abhishek Malhan earlier in 2026, clarifying her commitment to Kaaran.
Cryptic Posts Fuel Breakup Speculation
Since the unfollow, Jiyaa Shankar's Instagram stories and reposts have become a focal point of discussion. The actress has been sharing messages that hint at profound emotional pain and challenging times. Some of her recent reposts include poignant statements such as:
- "Two things I know for sure: Prayers work, and tables eventually turn."
- "Some nights I don't want healing. I want the universe to admit that what happened was cruel."
- "Randomly bursting into tears because genuinely wtf did I do to deserve this."
Despite the removal of Kaaran Dhanak from her 'following' list, it is notable that Jiyaa's original engagement post from August 2026, featuring her flaunting her diamond ring and pictures with Kaaran, remains visible on her Instagram feed as of October 29, 2026. This inconsistency has added another layer of mystery to the unfolding drama. ‘Lets Leave False…’: Is Jiya Shankar Getting Engaged to Abhishek Malhan Aka Fukra Insaan? ‘Bigg Boss OTT 2’ Fame Actress REVEALS Amid Viral Rumours (View Post).

As of now, neither Jiyaa Shankar nor Kaaran Dhanak has issued an official statement regarding their relationship status, leaving fans to ponder the future of their highly publicised romance.
