Television actress Jiyaa Shankar has sparked rumours about a possible split from her fiancé, US-based entrepreneur Kaaran Dhanak, after reportedly unfollowing him on Instagram. The social media activity, noticed between October 29 and 30, 2026, has drawn attention from fans, with many questioning whether the couple’s relationship has run into trouble.
The actress has also been sharing several cryptic messages and emotional posts on social media. These posts, combined with the reported Instagram unfollow, have further fuelled speculation about the couple’s relationship status.
Jiyaa Shankar and Kaaran Dhanak’s Engagement
Jiyaa Shankar and Kaaran Dhanak had announced their engagement a few months ago, making headlines with their relationship reveal. On August 5, 2026, Jiyaa shared romantic photographs from their proposal, expressing her happiness at finding love unexpectedly.
While sharing the pictures, she also spoke about their long-distance relationship and how their conversations made her feel connected despite the distance. Her caption read, “Every conversation with you even though you were thousands of miles away from me, felt like home.”
Kaaran Dhanak, popularly known as KD, is a US-based entrepreneur who was reportedly introduced to Jiyaa’s followers as her partner. He is also reported to run a hookah parlour.
The engagement announcement came after Jiyaa had dismissed rumours linking her romantically with her Bigg Boss OTT 2 co-contestant Abhishek Malhan earlier in 2026. At the time, she clarified her commitment to Kaaran.
Cryptic Instagram Posts Add to Breakup Rumours
Following the reported unfollow, Jiyaa’s Instagram stories and reposts have attracted considerable attention. Several messages shared by the actress appear to reflect difficult emotions and challenging experiences.
Some of the statements she recently reposted include:
- “Two things I know for sure: Prayers work, and tables eventually turn.”
- “Some nights I don’t want healing. I want the universe to admit that what happened was cruel.”
- “Randomly bursting into tears because genuinely wtf did I do to deserve this.”
These emotional messages have prompted fans to connect her social media activity with the ongoing speculation surrounding her engagement.
Engagement Pictures Still Visible on Instagram
Despite reportedly removing Kaaran from her following list, Jiyaa has not deleted her original engagement announcement from August 2026. The post, which features photographs of the couple and her diamond engagement ring, was still available on her Instagram profile as of October 29, 2026.
The fact that the engagement pictures remain online while the reported unfollow has attracted attention has left fans with more questions about the situation.
No Official Confirmation From the Couple
Fans have been expressing concern for Jiyaa on social media, with many discussing the possibility of a separation. However, the reasons behind the reported change in their Instagram activity remain unclear.
Neither Jiyaa Shankar nor Kaaran Dhanak has made an official statement about their relationship status so far. Until either of them addresses the speculation, reports of a possible breakup remain unconfirmed.
