Khushi Kapoor has once again ignited dating rumours with fellow actor Vedang Raina — but this time, fans are convinced that it’s more than just speculation. The Archies star recently took to Instagram to share a few aesthetic close-up shots of herself, looking chic in a checked collared dress.
But it wasn’t the outfit that caught attention — it was her subtle accessory choice. Sharp-eyed fans quickly zoomed in on a delicate pendant she wore, featuring the initials V and K. Coincidence? The internet doesn’t think so.
Khushi Kapoor added only a white heart emoji to the caption, leaving it up to fans to decode the rest. And decode they did — with most speculating that the customized pendant was her soft-launch of the long-rumoured romance with The Archies co-star Vedang Raina.

This isn’t the first time Khushi has been seen wearing personalized jewelry hinting at her relationship status. Last year, during a dreamy vacation to the Maldives with sister Janhvi Kapoor, Khushi was spotted wearing a bracelet that spelled out “Vedang.” That sparked a flurry of online discussion, but the actress never confirmed anything — until now, if the pendant is anything to go by.
Interestingly, Janhvi Kapoor too has her own relationship charm — a pendant with “Shiku” engraved on it, the pet name of her boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya. Seems like love and custom jewelry run in the Kapoor household!
Khushi and Vedang have been at the center of dating rumours ever since they co-starred in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. While their on-screen chemistry sparked interest, their real-life camaraderie fanned the flames. The duo was later seen walking the ramp together for designer Gaurav Gupta at the India Couture Week 2024, and they’ve since made several appearances together — at film screenings, parties, and Bollywood events.

The buzz was further fueled when Khushi made a witty reference to the rumours during her appearance on Koffee With Karan. Responding to host Karan Johar’s question about her relationship with Vedang, Khushi said, “You know that scene in Om Shanti Om where there’s a row of people just saying, ‘Om and I were just good friends’?” It was a moment that went viral — vague enough to deny, cheeky enough to confirm.
Vedang, who impressed audiences with his performance in Alia Bhatt’s Jigra, may not have had a box office hit with the film, but he certainly gained critical acclaim. Khushi, meanwhile, was last seen in Nadaaniyan alongside Ibrahim Ali Khan — another star kid in the spotlight.
Whether it’s a stylish soft-launch or a full-blown couple announcement is yet to be confirmed. But one thing’s for sure: Khushi’s pendant has become the latest talking point in B-Town’s love files.
Stay tuned, because this Kapoor-Raina love story is just getting started.
