Shanaya Kapoor, currently promoting “Tu Yaa Main” with Adarsh Gaurav, reveals a shocking story of discovering her boyfriend’s chats with multiple women during a vacation abroad and how best friend Ananya Pandey supported her through the breakup.
New Delhi: Shanaya Kapoor gears up for the release of her upcoming film Tu Yaa Main, Shanaya Kapoor has been making headlines not just for her on-screen chemistry with Adarsh Gaurav, but also for her candid revelations about a deeply unsettling chapter from her personal life.
During a recent podcast appearance, the young actress opened up about what she described as one of the scariest experiences she has ever faced in a relationship—a betrayal that unfolded while she was vacationing abroad with her then-boyfriend.
“It Felt Too Good to Be True”
Shanaya shared that at the time, she believed she was in the “best relationship” of her life. Everything seemed perfect—so perfect, in fact, that she remembers thinking it almost felt “too good to be true.”
One evening, as the couple was heading out for dinner, her boyfriend asked her to book a cab. With her phone battery running low, she used his phone to make the booking. What happened next changed everything.
The Notification That Changed Everything
While booking the cab, a notification from another girl popped up on his phone. Something about it felt off. Unable to ignore her gut feeling, Shananya opened the chat—only to find inappropriate messages.
What began as a moment of doubt quickly spiraled into shock. She went through more conversations and discovered that he has been chatting with atleast 5 different girls in a similar manner.
“I felt numb”, she reportedly shared, recalling how surreal the moment felt.
Turning to Ananya Pandey for Help
In disbelief, Shananya took screenshots of the chats and immediately sent them to her best friend, actress Ananya Pandey, asking what she should do.
Ananya’s response was protective and direct—she suggested Shanaya leave immediately and take a train to where she was staying nearby. But Shanaya hesitated. She felt it would be too strange to suddenly leave without confronting the situation. Instead, she chose to stay.
Two days of Pretending
For the next two days, Shanaya pretended that everything was normal. She continued the vacation as of nothing has happened, all while processing the betrayal internally. Eventually, her boyfriend sensed that something was wrong.
According to Shanaya, his defense was that he “he didn’t get physical with anyone” and that “it was just messages.” But for her, the emotional breach of trust was more than enough. The relationship ended soon after.
