Jennifer Winget recently got hitched for the second time, 11 years after divorcing her first husband, Karan Singh Grover. On July 16, 2026, she tied the knot with Singapore-based businessman William Ishamel, ending all her link-ups with her industry acquaintances and co-stars. Notably, just months before, the Beyhadh actress sparked engagement rumours with her close friend, Karan Wahi. Addressing the curiosity of their fans, he opened up on their link-up rumours and their bond.
Karan Wahi reacted to his engagement buzz with Jennifer Winget
Longtime friends, Karan Wahi and Jennifer Winget were rumoured to be engaged in January 2026, and viral posts suggested that they are even planning to get hitched in the latter part of the year. Their dating buzz persisted since their on-screen chemistry in Dill Mill Gayye, making the report of their marriage seem believable to their fans. The romance rumours intensified following their on-screen reunion after 17 years in the web series, Raisinghani vs Raisinghani (2024).
Both Karan and Jennifer have maintained that they were close, but neither has ever mentioned having romantic feelings for the other. As news of their engagement and wedding surfaced, the Hate Story 4 actor took to his Instagram Stories to set the record straight. He hit back at the speculations, stating he was glad to receive “Free ki PR.” In the following Story, Karan shared a shot from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, featuring besties ‘Bunny’ (Ranbir Kapoor) and ‘Aditi’ (Kalki Koechlin) and captioned it as:
“Some bonds are greater than love.”
Fans saw it as Karan’s way of confirming that he and Jennifer were just friends. Shortly after, he appeared for an interview with the Hindustan Times and said that the engagement buzz was “fake news”. He shared a similar statement with SCREEN and stated:
“Don’t know where this [engagement and marriage buzz] came from, but it’s not true.”
Karan Wahi opened up on his dynamics with Jennifer Winget
Karan Wahi told SCREEN that Jennifer was a good “friend” of his with whom he liked working. He, who reconnected with her after almost two decades in Raisinghani vs Raisinghani, shared that both of them were thrilled to be part of the same project. After working with people he wasn’t that close to, the actor realised how comfortable it was to act with known people like Jennifer Winget. Sharing that he didn’t care about getting less screen time or other stuff when working with her, Karan stated:
“We are just glad that we have gotten to work together. I have realised this after such a long time because I haven’t been able to work with people I know. It makes so much of a difference when you work with friends; that energy resonates. Screen time or weightage of role doesn’t come in that.”
Regarding their current life, Jennifer is happily married to William Ishmael, and Karan plans to get hitched if he finds someone suitable. Recently, in July 2026, he opened up about his dating experience, which earned him criticism. He shared that he once went out on a date with someone who didn’t value loyalty and was seeing multiple other guys simultaneously. Karan, on the other hand, gave up the opportunity to go out with another person due to her.
Karan alleged that it showed that many women today misinterpreted the “concept of independence” as unfaithfulness. It earned him major flak from netizens, who considered his comments regressive and misogynistic. According to them, since they were not an official couple and had just started seeing each other, it was okay to go on dates with other people.
