Actress Shamita Shetty has addressed the recent dating rumours linking her with techno artist Deepesh Sharma, firmly dismissing the speculation and stating that she is “single and peaceful.” The buzz around her personal life began after Deepesh shared a heartfelt birthday message along with photos from Shamita’s 47th birthday celebration. His affectionate caption and Shamita’s warm response, which included a simple “Awww” and heart emojis, led many fans to assume that the two were romantically involved.
Shamita Shetty breaks silence on the rumours
Choosing to clear the air, Shamita took to Instagram to directly shut down the rumours. In a strongly worded note, she wrote, “Single and peaceful. Stop being prudes misconstruing genuine friendships. Such utter nonsense.” Her statement reflected her frustration over how friendly gestures between public figures are often misinterpreted as romance, especially in an era where social media interactions quickly become headline material.
Deepesh’s birthday tribute had described Shamita as his “forever laughter riot” and someone who knows all his stories and still stays. The message sparked widespread discussion online, with many wondering whether the actress had found love again. However, Shamita’s clarification made it clear that their bond is rooted in friendship and nothing more.
All about the dating buzz
This is not the first time the actress has spoken out against speculation about her love life. Following her widely discussed relationship with actor Raqesh Bapat, whom she met on Bigg Boss OTT, Shamita has been vocal about choosing happiness and independence on her own terms. The couple separated in 2022, after which she has remained focused on her personal growth and professional commitments.
Shamita has also previously responded to trolls who criticised her for being unmarried, stressing that marriage is not the sole measure of fulfillment. She has consistently advocated for self worth, individuality, and the freedom to live life without societal pressure.
By calling the rumours “utter nonsense” and reaffirming her single status, Shamita Shetty has once again set firm boundaries around her personal life, reminding everyone that not every affectionate social media exchange signals a romantic relationship.
