When Bhumi Pednekar Broke The Silence On Her Dating Rumours With Jackky Bhagnani, 'I Can't Ruin...'

Jackky Bhagnani is hogging the limelight as he confessed about his relationship status with his wife, Rakul Preet. He called his marriage with Rakul a 'situationship.' For the unversed, situationship is a romantic relationship that lacks commitment. Jackky and Rakul have been married since 2024. On February 21, 2026, the couple completed two years of togetherness. Amid this, Jackky’s statement raised many eyebrows.

Now that Jackky grabbed the limelight with his recent remark on situationship, the attention has shifted to his past relationships.

When Bhumi Pednekar dismissed the dating buzz with actor and producer, Jackky Bhagnani

In a 2019 interview with Bombay Times, Bhumi Pednekar shut down the dating rumours with actor and producer, Jackky Bhagnani. The Dum Laga Ke Haisha actress shared that she didn’t like to react to such things, as there was no truth to it. She highlighted that often, when she was not in Mumbai, reports surfaced claiming that she was spotted in the city. She called such reports baseless. Bhumi stated that she knew Jackky from before she became an actress. Bhumi added that she couldn’t ruin her rare, beautiful friendship with Jackky for a short-lived gossip. She was quoted as saying:

"I have read the most bizarre things about my whereabouts. Often, I’ve not been in Mumbai, and I’ve still been spotted in the city, hanging out with someone or coming out of someone else’s car. It’s so random and bizarre. If there is fodder for speculation, I can understand, but baseless stories are beyond me. I have known Jackky since before I became an actress. We go back 10 years. I can’t ruin my friendship over short-lived gossip. It’s a rare, beautiful friendship. So, whenever I read something stupid, I just speak to him about it and move on."
