On International Women’s Day 2025, Shikhar Pahariya shared an emotional Instagram post honoring the important women in his life. Among the heartfelt messages, his tribute to girlfriend and Bollywood actor Janhvi Kapoor stood out, as he praised her resilience, strength, and fearless nature.
In his post, Shikhar reflected on the true meaning of celebrating women, questioning whether people genuinely understand their impact. He described women as his pillars of strength and guiding forces, mentioning his grandmother Ujwala Shinde and mother Smruti Shinde.
When speaking about Janhvi, Shikhar expressed admiration for her ability to remain unshaken under pressure. He wrote, “From Janhvi—a woman who defies every expectation, whose fire refuses to dim—I learnt to be unshaken.” He highlighted her rare determination, emphasizing that she does not break under scrutiny or bow to societal pressures. “She loves fiercely, dreams boldly, and proves, every single day, that resilience isn’t about surviving—it’s about thriving,” he added.
The post included several personal photos of Janhvi. One showed her with her pet dog, while another was a behind-the-scenes moment from her 2020 film, Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl. Another image captured a family moment featuring Shikhar, Janhvi’s sister Khushi Kapoor, and her father, filmmaker Boney Kapoor.
