Television favourites Jennifer Winget and Karan Wahi found themselves back in the spotlight this week—but not for a new show. Rumours claiming the longtime friends were planning to get married began circulating online, prompting Karan to step in and set the record straight.
And he did it with his trademark wit.
“Thanks for the free PR”: Karan shuts down speculation
On Wednesday, Karan took to his Instagram Stories to directly address the chatter. Reacting to the wedding rumours, he wrote in Hindi, “Free ki PR ke liye bahut bahut shukriya,” clearly dismissing the claims with humour.
He followed it up by sharing a still from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, featuring Ranbir Kapoor’s Bunny and Kalki Koechlin’s Aditi, paired with the line: “Some bonds are greater than love.” Adding a heart and an evil-eye emoji, Karan subtly reinforced what fans have known for years—that his bond with Jennifer is rooted in deep friendship, not romance.
While several reports had suggested that their friendship had “blossomed into love” and that wedding bells were imminent, Karan’s response effectively put those rumours to rest. Jennifer, for her part, has chosen to remain silent on the speculation so far.
A friendship that goes way back
Jennifer and Karan’s equation dates back to their early television days. The two first worked together on the hugely popular medical drama Dill Mill Gaye, which cemented both their on-screen popularity and off-screen friendship. The show was a sequel to Sanjivani: A Medical Boon and featured several well-known faces, quickly becoming a fan favourite.
Years later, the duo reunited on Raisinghani vs Raisinghani, where they played lawyers alongside Reem Sheikh. Their mature chemistry and easy rapport were widely appreciated, once again sparking curiosity about their personal lives—something they’ve dealt with more than once.
Where they stand today
Jennifer Winget was previously married to Karan Singh Grover. The two tied the knot in 2012 but separated in 2014. Grover later married Bipasha Basu in 2016. Both Jennifer and Karan Wahi have been single for a while now, which often fuels speculation—but neither has publicly hinted at anything beyond friendship.
Final words
Once again, a close male-female friendship in the television industry has been mistaken for something more. Karan Wahi’s lighthearted but clear response puts an end to the rumours—at least for now.
For fans, it’s a reminder that not every strong bond needs a romantic label. Some friendships really are just that—solid, enduring, and bigger than love.
