The internet is buzzing with speculation: are Jiya Shankar and Elvish Yadav engaged? A recent Instagram story posted by Elvish Yadav has ignited a flurry of rumors, leaving fans eager to uncover the truth. The picture, a close-up shot of hands, features a woman sporting a dazzling diamond ring, with Jiya Shankar tagged in the post. Elvish added fuel to the fire with the caption, "Gave love another chance & I found my love". Jiya further amplified the speculation by resharing the story with a red heart emoji.
Elvish and Jiya previously shared screen space on Bigg Boss OTT Season 2, where their on-screen chemistry caught the attention of viewers. This pre-existing connection has only heightened the curiosity surrounding the potential engagement.
However, amidst the excitement, a source close to the situation suggests that the viral image might be part of a promotional campaign. According to this source, Elvish Yadav and Jiya Shankar are reportedly set to co-host a new season of the JioHotstar show Engaged. The show, previously hosted by Harsh Gujral and Uorfi Javed, is known as a social experiment. If this information is accurate, the ring picture could be linked to the show's theme rather than a personal commitment.
Adding another layer to the story, reports emerged in December 2025 linking Jiya Shankar to Abhishek Malhan, another Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant. However, Jiya's team quickly dismissed these rumors.
Jiya Shankar was born on April 17, 1995, while Elvish Yadav was born on September 14, 1997, making Jiya two years older than Elvish.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation from either Elvish Yadav or Jiya Shankar regarding their engagement status. While the Instagram post has undoubtedly stirred the pot, it remains to be seen whether it's a genuine announcement or a clever promotional stunt. Fans will have to stay tuned for further updates to uncover the truth behind the ring and the relationship between these two Bigg Boss OTT 2 stars. With both personalities maintaining a strong presence in the public eye – Elvish on Laughter Chefs Season 3 and Jiya as a familiar face in the reality show sphere – any developments are sure to capture widespread attention.
