The relationship status of Pranali Rathod, best known for her role in "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai," has become a hot topic of speculation among fans, particularly regarding Aashay Mishra. Recent social media activity and sightings have fueled rumors that the two actors are dating.
The speculation gained momentum following a Holi celebration video that surfaced online earlier in the year. The video, shared by Aashay Mishra, showed him and Pranali enjoying the festive spirit with friends. However, their close and affectionate interactions in the video sparked widespread speculation about their relationship status. From Aashay lifting Pranali in his arms to their cozy poses, the video led many fans to believe that they had made their relationship "official."
Adding fuel to the fire, Pranali Rathod also archived her photos with her "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" co-star, Harshad Chopda, from her Instagram account. Previously, Pranali and Harshad were rumored to be in a relationship due to their on-screen chemistry. This move led to further speculation that Pranali had moved on.
More recently, Aashay Mishra's Instagram post has once again stirred up the rumor mill. The post featured a series of photos taken on Mumbai streets, with the last image in the carousel showing Aashay with a girl whose face was partially covered. Fans were quick to identify the mystery girl as Pranali Rathod, further intensifying dating rumors.
Despite the widespread speculation, neither Pranali Rathod nor Aashay Mishra have officially confirmed or denied the rumors. When approached by India Forums in March 2025, Aashay Mishra responded to the dating rumors by saying, "I don't want to comment on this. It's personal. We are co-actors and good friends. That's all I want to say."
Adding another layer to the speculation, a photo of Pranali Rathod and Aashay Mishra having dinner together recently went viral. The photo, shared by their friend Pratika Bhosale, led to further discussion among fans about whether the two are dating. While some found their chemistry cute and considered it an "official hint," others speculated whether it was simply a friendly gathering.
Before these rumors with Aashay Mishra began, Pranali Rathod had addressed previous rumors linking her to Harshad Chopda. In September 2024, she clarified that she and Harshad are just good friends and that there was nothing romantic between them. She stated that she was single and had no plans to marry anytime soon.
Pranali Rathod and Aashay Mishra have worked together on Colors TV's show "Durga – Atoot Prem Kahani." Their on-screen chemistry was well-received, and their off-screen bond has since captured the attention of fans.
While fans eagerly await an official statement from either Pranali or Aashay, the dating rumors continue to circulate, fueled by social media posts and public sightings. Until then, fans can only speculate and observe as this rumored romance unfolds.
