Zaan Khan took to his social media account to reply to the link-up rumours with 'Bigg Boss 18' contestant, Chahat Pandey.
Bigg Boss 18 contestant, Chahat Pandey is all over the news. This is because the name of Chahat's secret boyfriend, Manas has been spilled. Salman Khan had already discussed the same in length inside the Bigg Boss house. After the explosive revelations, Chahat's co-star from her serial, Hamari Silk Bahu, Zaan Khan, has also been linked to the actress. He has now hit the records straight.
Chahat's name has not just been linked to her alleged boyfriend, Manas Shah. Now, Zaan took to his Instagram stories on December 7, 2024, to address the dating rumours surrounding him with the actress. He strictly wrote in his post that the actress is his good friend. Zaan's post can be read as:
"@chahatpandey_official Pandey jee is a very good friend of mine guys. We did a show together in 2019 and 2020. She calls me Khan Sahab. Nothing more to it, nothing less to it. And best wishes to Pandey ji for Bigg Boss 18."
Zaan, earlier in an interview with Pinkvilla, had revealed that Chahat had actually attempted to commit suicide, but it was her mother who came to her rescue. Her mother stopped her from taking the drastic step. Zaan noted that the actress had struggled a lot to be an actress. The producers of their show, Hamari Bahu Silk, had failed to give them their payments, and Zaan revealed that Chahat was the sole earning member in her family, her father is no more, and she has two small brothers and a mother to look after.
On December 7, 2024, netizens on Reddit found a leaked picture of the actress with her alleged Gujarati boyfriend, Manas Shah. Chahat was seen in close proximity to the actor, and she comfortably rested her hands on his chest. Salman Khan also hinted in the Bigg Boss 18 house that Chahat's love interest for 5 years has been a Gujju.
Manas and Chahat were also seen in the serial Hamari Silk Bahu, and it is being speculated that love may have bloomed between them on the sets. It has been over five years since the show aired.
KRK, who is known to slam movies and celebrities, took to his X account (formerly Twitter) to take a dig at Chahat Pandey's mom. He also made the picture of the actress viral with Manas and tweeted:
"Since #ChahatPandey mother challenges @ColorsTV @BiggBoss to find out Chahat’s boyfriend, so I am helping them."
This took place after Chahat's mom, Bhavna gave an open challenge to the makers of Bigg Boss 18. She said that she was ready to pay Rs 21 lakh to anyone if they showed Chahat's boyfriend's photo and if they can reveal the name. All the drama took place after Bhavna said that her daughter would marry anyone her mom selected.
