Television actor Kushal Tandon recently confirmed that he and actress Shivangi Joshi broke up five months ago. The couple, who won hearts with their on-screen and off-screen chemistry, had made their relationship public last year. However, Kushal’s recent Instagram post has stirred up a lot of conversation, especially because of its timing.
Kushal Tandon and Shivangi Joshi’s Relationship Began During Barsatein Shoot
Kushal Tandon and Shivangi Joshi met on the sets of Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka and quickly became close. Their chemistry on-screen led to dating rumors, which Kushal later confirmed in October 2024. He even mentioned in an interview that while they were in love, they were taking things slow. Kushal shared that his mother wanted him to get married soon, but he wasn’t in a rush.
Breakup Announcement via Instagram Story
On June 9, Kushal took to his Instagram Stories to share that he and Shivangi were no longer together. In his message, he wrote, “To all the people I love, just wanted to say, me and Shivangi are not together anymore. It’s been 5 months so yes.”
The story was deleted soon after being posted, but fans had already taken screenshots and shared them widely on social media.
Fans React Strongly to Timing
The announcement didn’t sit well with many fans, especially because it came just one day before Shivangi’s new show, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 4, was set to premiere. Some called Kushal’s post “insensitive” and accused him of trying to draw attention to himself. One fan commented, “Just a day before her big premiere, really? That’s so low.”
Others felt it was a publicity stunt, saying it looked like they were trying to move on publicly to create buzz for something new.
Shivangi’s Loving Birthday Message Raised Questions
Even though Kushal claimed the breakup happened five months ago, fans pointed out that Shivangi had posted a sweet birthday message for him in March 2025. In her post, she wished him happiness, success, and lots of love. This left many confused, with some questioning whether the breakup was recent and the post was just damage control.
Moving Forward in Their Careers
While Kushal and Shivangi may no longer be a couple, both actors are moving ahead in their careers. Shivangi will soon be seen opposite Harshad Chopda in the fourth season of Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, which starts on June 16 on Sony TV and Sony LIV. Fans are excited to see her back on screen in a new role.
Kushal, on the other hand, hasn’t shared much about his upcoming projects yet but continues to stay in the spotlight.
Breakups are never easy, especially when they play out in the public eye. Whether the timing was intentional or not, it’s clear that Kushal and Shivangi have gone their separate ways and are now focused on their individual journeys.
