Fact Check: Are Janhvi Kapoor And Shanaya Kapoor In A Cold War Or Is This Yet Another Reddit Conspiracy Theory?
Shanaya Kapoor is gearing up for her film Tu Yaa Main but Reddit has some tea to spill!
After the internet was surprised to see Orry’s taking jabs at Sara Ali Khan, many were not ready to come across the alleged silent feud between cousins Janhvi Kapoor and Shanaya Kapoor. Yes, you read that right! A social media thread has pointed out alleged bitterness between the two actors, which has to do with their professional fronts. This claimed cold war also apparently includes Janhvi’s father, Boney Kapoor and Shanaya’s mother, Maheep Kapoor. Read on to know the juicy gossip below.
Details About Janhvi Kapoor and Shanaya Kapoor’s Alleged Feud!
A thread posted on Reddit recently caught many people’s attention. It pointed out that Shanaya Kapoor’s mother, Maheep, was allegedly upset over Boney Kapoor’s lack of support for her daughter’s career, especially after the way he has been invested in both of his daughters, Janhvi and Khushi’s careers. The post further claimed that Maheep even got Sanjay Kapoor to play the “family card”, but it didn’t work. It was alleged that this situation escalated after filmmaker Karan Johar prioritised Janhvi’s career, which was when Maheep pulled Shayana out of his “camp.” Shanaya not being taken seriously allegedly annoyed Maheep.
However, this was not it. She allegedly lost her cool when a top producer rejected her daughter and said that he wanted “real nepo kids.” The Reddit post pointed toward Maheep being on a mission to ensure Shanaya is more successful than Janhvi. Additionally, it was also said that Shanaya and Janhvi are not openly throwing shade at each other; they can attend the same family events, be polite, etc but are no longer close. It’s worth mentioning that none of the parties involved have made any official comment or statement or even hinted at the alleged feud.

In fact, Instagram activities of Maheep, Boney, Shanaya and Janhvi hint that all is well in the Kapoor Khandaan. Don’t believe us? Take a look at how the family seems to be cheering each other on in the comment sections of posts.
Janhvi Kapoor was quick to support Shanaya Kapoor in the comments section when she shared a sneak peek of her upcoming project Tu Yaa Main with Adarsh Gourav. If you’re wondering why she’s not commenting on the more recent posts of her cousin, let me ask you this: When was the last time you commented on someone’s post? And ICYMI, Janhvi has been inactive on social media and shared 6 posts in January 2026 and 2 in December 2025. While Shanaya has been busy promoting her upcoming release, Maheep has made sure to shower love in the comment section of Janhvi’s posts. While we understand that social media is not real life, there seems to be no hints of any cold war between the cousin sisters so far. TBH, the actors are so busy living their lives and working, that they can barely hear the noise online.
