Producer
Boney Kapoor
recently shed light on the absence of
Shikhar Pahariya
, his daughter
Janhvi Kapoor
‘s boyfriend, at a recent event where pictures were being taken. He also opened up about the bond he shares with Shikhar over the years.
Addressing the situation,
Boney
told Zoom, “That is only because he didn’t want to be clicked. I don’t know what the reason was, he probably wanted me to have the limelight, so it wouldn’t be diluted by him being there.
Or the headlines would have been ‘Shikhar and Boney’ instead of just Boney.”
Expressing his fondness for Shikhar, Boney added, “I love him! In fact, a couple of years back,
Janhvi
was not seeing him, but I was still friendly to him.”
When asked about his positive relationships with his daughter’s exes, Boney stated, “I was convinced that he can never be an ex (to Janhvi), he’ll always be around.”

Reacting to this, Boney expressed gratitude, saying, “He is, and any person who has been there for you in any capacity, whether it is for Janhvi, whether it is for me, whether it is for Arjun, he is friendly to all. I feel we are really blessed to have somebody like him in our setup.”
