MUMBAI, India, September 17, 2025 — Renowned Indian advertising filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar has stirred speculation about Bollywood icon Priyanka Chopra’s personal life, claiming in a recent interview that the actress was involved in a “serious affair” before her marriage to American singer Nick Jonas. While Kakkar did not disclose the identity of the alleged partner, his comments have reignited longstanding rumors linking Chopra with fellow Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
In an exclusive conversation with a leading Indian media outlet, Kakkar, known for his candid remarks, alluded to a significant romantic relationship in Chopra’s past without providing further details. “It was a serious affair, but it’s not my place to say more,” Kakkar stated, fueling curiosity among fans and media alike. Neither Chopra nor Khan has ever publicly addressed or confirmed any romantic involvement, and both have maintained silence on the matter over the years.
Chopra, 43, married Jonas, 33, in a lavish ceremony in 2018, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Malti Marie, in 2022. The global star, who transitioned from Bollywood to Hollywood with projects like *Quantico* and *Baywatch*, has long been a subject of media scrutiny regarding her personal life. Similarly, Shah Rukh Khan, one of India’s most celebrated actors, has been married to Gauri Khan since 1991, and the couple has three children.
The speculation surrounding Chopra and Khan dates back to their collaborations in films like Don (2006) and Don 2 (2011), where their on-screen chemistry sparked rumors of an off-screen connection. However, no concrete evidence has ever substantiated these claims, and both actors have consistently prioritized their professional commitments and personal privacy.
Kakkar’s remarks, while vague, have prompted renewed discussions on social media, with fans divided over the validity of the claims. Some have criticized the ad guru for commenting on private matters, while others view it as an attempt to stir publicity. Representatives for Chopra and Khan have not responded to requests for comment on Kakkar’s statements.
As one of Bollywood’s most prominent figures, Chopra continues to focus on her multifaceted career, including her recent work in Hollywood and her production ventures. Khan, meanwhile, remains a towering presence in Indian cinema, with his next project eagerly awaited by fans worldwide.
The lack of clarification from either star leaves Kakkar’s claims as speculation, adding another chapter to the enduring intrigue surrounding Bollywood’s biggest names.
