Kushal Tandon has finally confirmed that he is in a relationship with Shivangi Joshi.

"I am not getting married right now, but I am definitely in love. We are taking it very slow. My mother desperately wants to see me married, and unka bas chale toh meri shadi aaj hi karwa de (If it's upon her, then she might get me married today itself)," Kushal told Times of India. Back in 2024 when pictures of the two together getting cosy at an event had surfaced, Kushal and Shivangi both denied it.

"Both of them are very private people and therefore, want to keep their relationship away from the public eye. They might announce their relationship when they feel the time is right," a source had said. Joshi too had taken to social media and written, "I love rumours. I always find out amazing things about myself I never knew."
