When two of the most popular faces from the Indian reality television space are spotted together, dating rumors are bound to catch fire. Over the past few weeks, the internet has been buzzing with massive speculation that Digvijay Rathee, who has been dominating headlines for his explosive stint on the reality show The 50, is secretly dating Splitsvilla 16 sensation Sadhaaf Shankar.
The rumors hit a fever pitch after the duo was spotted getting close at a recent Holi party. However, before fans could officially ship the new couple, Sadhaaf decided to step up and clear the air.
From the leaked phone wallpaper that started it all to her official clarification, here is the complete breakdown of the Digvijay and Sadhaaf dating controversy.
The Spark: A Holi Party and a Leaked Picture
The dating speculations didn’t just come out of nowhere. Fans first noticed a budding chemistry when the two reality stars were spotted spending quality time together at a star-studded Holi celebration earlier this month.
However, what really poured gasoline on the fire was a sneaky, viral observation made by eagle-eyed netizens. During a public appearance, a picture of Digvijay and Sadhaaf together was allegedly spotted set as the wallpaper on Sadhaaf’s phone! This image quickly circulated across social media fan pages, leading everyone to believe that the MTV Roadies and The 50 star had finally found his match.
Sadhaaf Shankar Reacts: “We Are Not in a Relationship”
With the dating rumors dominating entertainment portals, Sadhaaf finally sat down for a recent interview to set the record straight.
Shattering the hopes of fans who were shipping them, she explicitly denied the romantic angle. “We are not in a relationship. We are very good friends,” Sadhaaf clarified.
She further explained how their close bond actually started: “We stay in the same building. We did acting workshops together. We hang out. When we used to go to acting workshops together and chill, we developed a great friendship bond.” According to her statement, their connection is purely platonic and rooted in their shared acting ambitions and neighborhood proximity.
