Khushi Kapoor may have found love again and it is reportedly someone she has known for years. The actress is said to have rekindled her romance with her childhood sweetheart, Aakash Mehta. According to a report in Bombay Times, Khushi and Aakash dated before she entered the film industry and have now reportedly reconnected.
The rumoured relationship comes months after Khushi’s much-discussed romance with her The Archies co-star Vedang Raina. According to the report, Khushi and Vedang were together for around two years before calling it quits earlier this year. The breakup was reportedly difficult for the actress, but she has since moved on and is said to be in a happier space with Aakash.
“Khushi was quite affected by the breakup with Vedang. It happened over the New Years and came as a surprise to Khushi. However, she is in a much better space now. She is happy with Aakash. She doesn’t want to date another actor,” a source told the publication.
While neither Khushi nor Aakash has publicly confirmed their relationship, the reports have certainly sparked curiosity about the person from her past who is now being linked to the actress.
Is Khushi Kapoor Dating Her Childhood Sweetheart Aakash Mehta?
According to the Bombay Times report, Khushi and Aakash have rekindled their romance after having dated during their younger years.
Interestingly, Aakash also appears to have connections within Khushi’s social circle. Khushi’s close friends and family members, including Janhvi Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Orry, Arjun Kapoor, Anshula Kapoor, Shikhar Pahariya, Navya Naveli Nanda and Shanaya Kapoor, reportedly follow him on Instagram. However, an Instagram follow is not confirmation of a romantic relationship.
What Happened Between Khushi Kapoor And Vedang Raina?
Before Aakash entered the picture, Khushi’s personal life was closely linked to Vedang Raina. Khushi and Vedang met while working on Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, which marked both actors’ Bollywood debuts in 2023. Their on-screen pairing and off-screen equation subsequently became a frequent topic of discussion.
According to the latest report, the two were in a relationship for around two years before their reported breakup around New Year. The split was said to have come as a surprise to Khushi, with the source claiming that she was initially quite affected by it.
However, if the latest report is to be believed, the actress has now moved forward and is reportedly happy with Aakash.
Who Is Aakash Mehta?
Aakash Mehta is reportedly Khushi Kapoor’s childhood sweetheart and someone she knew before making her acting debut. Unlike Khushi, who has been in the spotlight since childhood as the daughter of late actress Sridevi and filmmaker Boney Kapoor, Aakash appears to have largely stayed away from the entertainment spotlight.
His reported connection with Khushi dates back to before her entry into films, making the latest romance rumours less about a new celebrity pairing and more about two people reconnecting after years apart.
What Has Khushi Kapoor Said About Modern Dating?
Khushi has previously spoken about dating, relationships and how complicated modern romance can become. In an earlier interview, the actress opened up about the importance of clarity and boundaries while getting to know someone.
“It’s become a little complicated because there are so many new terms and phrases and grey areas that people have gotten themselves into. I think boundaries are something that people don’t really establish now, as they don’t ask each other the right questions. I’m quite straightforward as a person; I don’t think I would like to beat around the bush. If you find somebody attractive, I’m very all in, but I’m very shy also. I don’t know how forward I would be able to be, but maybe in my own way, I’d drop enough hints for them to notice and approach me,” she had said.
What Is Khushi Kapoor Doing Next?
Khushi made her acting debut with The Archies in 2023 alongside Vedang Raina, Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda and others. She subsequently appeared in Nadaaniyan and Loveyapa.
On the work front, the actress is now preparing for her next project, which has been described as a spiritual sequel to her mother Sridevi’s acclaimed film Mom.
