Popular television actress Chaahat Pandey is making headlines because of her relationship with a mystery man. While she has maintained that she is single, her Bigg Boss 18 co-contestant Avinash Mishra and the show's host Salman Khan made shocking revelations about her 'secret boyfriend' during the recent episodes.
Chaahat's mother, who had entered the house, also gave an open challenge to the makers of the show to produce a picture of the actress' boyfriend to support the claims. Now, self-proclaimed film critic and actor Kamaal R Khan (KRK) has shared a loved-up picture of the actress with TV actor Manas Shah and claimed that they are dating each other.
Taking to his official X account on Tuesday (January 7), KRK wrote along with the photo, "Since #ChahatPandey mother challenges @ColorsTV @BiggBoss to find out Chahat’s boyfriend, so I am helping them." Take a look:
Who is Manas Shah?
Manas is currently seen in the show Ye Hai Chahatein. He has been a part of other shows like Hamari Devrani, Spy Bahu, Hamari Bahu Silk, Wagle Ki Duniya - Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey, and more.
He is 33 years old. His hometown is Ahmedabad.
The actor has also been a part of several Gujarati films. He has over 1.1 million followers on Instagram.
Chaahat's mother's open challenge
Chaahat's mother stated that the actress is single and would never go against her family's wishes to get married. She also criticised Avinash for suggesting that the actress had a boyfriend, calling him a 'womanizer' on national television.
Later, host Salman Khan showed a picture of Chaahat celebrating her '5th anniversary' and hinted that she does have a boyfriend. Reportedly, she has now given an open challenge to the makers of Bigg Boss 18 to reveal the name of the actress' boyfriend or show his photo if their claims about her daughter are indeed true.
"Agar makers Chahat ke boyfriend ka naam ya uska picture dhund ke lekar aate hai toh mein unhe 21 lakh prize money as cash dungi," she reportedly said.
During one of the episodes of Bigg Boss 18, Avinash told the other housemates that Chaahat would regularly receive gifts from her boyfriend on the sets of their shows, Durga and Nath.
Later, Salman also hinted that the actress was dating a Gujarati businessman. As per a report in India Forums, Chaahat had introduced her boyfriend to her mother before entering the Bigg Boss 18 house, but her mother is against the relationship as the man is from a different caste.
