Social media has been buzzing with engagement rumours involving Elvish Yadav and Jiya Shankar after the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner shared a cryptic Instagram Story that quickly caught fans’ attention.
On February 5, 2026, Elvish posted a close-up image showing himself holding a woman’s hand, with a diamond ring clearly visible on her finger. The caption read, “Gave love another chance & I found my,” and he tagged Jiya Shankar—a move that immediately sparked speculation about a possible engagement.
The intrigue deepened when Jiya reshared the same story on her Instagram, adding only a heart emoji, further fuelling rumours across social media platforms. Fans were quick to interpret the combination of the ring, the romantic caption and the mutual tagging as a subtle confirmation of their relationship taking the next step.
However, it is important to note that neither Elvish Yadav nor Jiya Shankar has officially confirmed being in a romantic relationship or getting engaged. No formal announcement has been made by either of them so far.
As reported by Times Now, there is also speculation that the post could be part of a promotional teaser for an upcoming project, a strategy often used by influencers and celebrities to generate online buzz through ambiguity.
Jiya Shankar was previously linked to fellow Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant Abhishek Malhan, though those rumours were dismissed last year by her team, who stated that she was focused on her work and uninterested in speculation-driven narratives.
Professionally, Jiya has earned recognition for her performance in the Marathi film Ved and as the lead actor in Colors TV’s supernatural drama Pishachini. Her participation in Bigg Boss OTT 2—including her interactions with Elvish Yadav—also played a notable role in shaping the season’s dynamics before her eviction just ahead of the finale.
Until an official clarification arrives, fans will have to wait and watch whether this viral moment marks a real-life milestone or simply a cleverly timed tease.
