Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor has finally made her relationship with Rahul Mody Instagram official. The actress took to her Instagram Stories to share a selfie with Rahul, confirming the long-standing rumors about their romance. In the picture, both are seen twinning in white, with Shraddha holding Rahul’s arm and smiling, while Rahul makes a goofy expression. The caption read, “Dil rakh le, Neend toh vaapis de de yaar,” which translates to “Keep my heart, but at least return my sleep,” accompanied by smiley face and red heart emoticons.
The couple has been dating for a while, reportedly getting close while working on the film “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.” Rahul Mody, a writer on the film, and Shraddha met on the sets, and their friendship soon blossomed into love. This public declaration marks the first time Shraddha has shared her relationship status with her followers, making it official.
Rumors about their relationship started circulating earlier this year when they were spotted together on several occasions. The actress was also seen wearing a necklace with the initial ‘R,’ which fueled speculations that it was a gift from Rahul. Shraddha, known for her roles in films like “Aashiqui 2” and “Stree,” has always kept her personal life private, making this post a significant moment for her fans.
The couple was first spotted together in Jamnagar, attending Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding festivities. They were also photographed post a dinner rendezvous in Mumbai last year. A source close to the couple revealed that they were ‘shocked’ at being photographed together, as they wanted to keep their relationship private. “They want to have a private affair and not fret about going public with the relationship,” said the source.
In March, Shraddha was seen wearing a pendant with the initial ‘R’ on it, adding more fuel to the romance rumors. The couple has been spotted together multiple times, including a dinner date in 2023. Despite their efforts to keep the relationship under wraps, their public appearances have grabbed a lot of attention.
Rahul Mody is a producer-writer who has been a frequent collaborator with filmmaker Luv Ranjan. He has co-written hits like “Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2,” “Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety,” and “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.” According to industry insiders, it was on the sets of “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar” where Shraddha met Rahul. Shraddha had joined the film while dealing with her breakup with photographer Rohan Shrestha. Rahul and Shraddha started as actor-writer collaborators and soon became close friends.
Rahul keeps a low profile in the media and is rarely seen at social events. During the promotions of “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar,” Rahul made a rare public appearance where he interacted with the media but wasn’t spotted with Shraddha. Rahul, who also runs a production house, has multiple projects in development, one of which is said to be headlined by Shraddha Kapoor. The film is touted to be a drama, and Shraddha will soon decide when she can begin the movie.
On the work front, Shraddha Kapoor is gearing up to return to the big screens with “Stree 2” in August. The film will bring back Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha in the horror-comedy universe. The teaser of the film was released with “Munjya” last week. Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, “Stree 2” is part of the producer’s horror-comedy universe, which includes films such as “Stree,” “Roohi,” and “Bhediya.” “Stree 2” will release on August 15.
Shraddha Kapoor’s confirmation of her relationship with Rahul Mody has delighted her fans, who have been eagerly waiting for this news. The couple’s journey from colleagues to lovers has been a topic of much speculation, and their public declaration has finally put all rumors to rest. As Shraddha continues to shine in her professional life, her personal life seems to be equally fulfilling with Rahul by her side.
