Shikhar Pahariya, the rumoured boyfriend of Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, recently called out a social media troll who attempted to demean him over his caste. The entrepreneur and socialite didn’t hold back in addressing the regressive mindset displayed by the commenter.

Shikhar Pahariya’s response to casteist remark

Shikhar Pahariya had shared heartwarming pictures of his pet and Janhvi Kapoor from their Diwali celebrations last year. Under his post, a social media user wrote, “Lekin tu toh Dalit hai (But, you’re a Dalit).” Noticing the comment, Pahariya hit back, condemning the troll’s prejudiced mindset.

Sharing a screenshot of the offensive remark on his Instagram Story, Shikhar wrote, “It’s honestly pathetic that in 2025, there are still people like you with such a small, backward mindset.”

He further emphasized India’s strength in diversity, stating, “Diwali is a festival of light, progress, and unity—concepts that are clearly beyond your limited intellect. India’s strength has always been in its diversity and inclusivity, something you clearly fail to grasp. Maybe instead of spreading ignorance, you should focus on educating yourself, because right now, the only thing truly ‘untouchable’ here is your level of thinking.”

Shikhar Pahariya’s message of inclusivity

Shikhar Pahariya had originally shared a heartfelt Diwali post, writing, “Happy Diwali from us to you. May the arrival of Lord Ram bring a year of light and prosperity, may good reign over evil, and may we have the strength and wisdom to always pick the path of righteousness. Blessed are those who have the ability to help, uplift, and protect those who need it.”

Who is Shikhar Pahariya?

Shikhar Pahariya is the grandson of former Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde. His mother, Smruti Shinde, is an actress, and his elder brother, Veer Pahariya, recently made his Bollywood debut with Sky Force, alongside Akshay Kumar, Nimrat Kaur, and Sara Ali Khan.

While neither Janhvi Kapoor nor Shikhar Pahariya has confirmed their relationship, they continue to be seen together at parties, events, film screenings, and family gatherings, fueling ongoing speculation.

The much-anticipated Bollywood superhero film Krrish 4, starring Hrithik Roshan, has hit another roadblock as director Siddharth Anand and his banner Marflix have exited the project. Reports indicate that the film’s budget, reportedly touching ₹700 crore, has made it difficult for production houses to move forward with the project.

Adding to the uncertainty, Rakesh Roshan, who directed the previous installments of the Krrish franchise, has decided to step away from directing the film, choosing to “pass on the baton” to a new director.

Production struggles continue

Krrish 4 has faced multiple delays over the years, and with the exit of Siddharth Anand, the situation has become even more complicated. Hrithik Roshan, who had wanted Anand to direct, is now left looking for a new team to take the project forward.

Although there are reports suggesting that the film’s ₹700 crore budget is the reason for the hurdles, another source has denied these claims, stating that the “astronomical figures doing the rounds are completely untrue.”

New production plans in motion

While Marflix will no longer be part of the film, FilmKraft, the production house owned by the Roshan family, is reportedly looking for a new studio to back the film. With no director or confirmed production house in place, it remains to be seen how and when the film will move forward.

For now, Krrish 4 remains in limbo, with fans eagerly waiting for an official update on its future.
