Actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani has become the latest celebrity to grab attention on social media after a screenshot of an alleged dating app profile surfaced online.
The viral image appeared months after Jackky’s light-hearted “situationship” comment about his marriage to Rakul Preet Singh made headlines.
However, there is no confirmation that the profile belongs to Jackky, and its authenticity has not been independently verified.
Alleged Raya profile goes viral
A Reddit user recently shared a screenshot taken from a YouTube video, claiming it showed Jackky Bhagnani’s profile on Raya, an invite-only dating and networking app.
The profile reportedly carries the name “Jackky” with the description “Actor/Producer.” It also lists the location as London, United Kingdom.
Despite the buzz, it remains unclear whether the account is genuine, inactive, or created by someone else using his identity.
Neither Jackky Bhagnani nor his representatives have commented on the viral screenshot.
What is Raya?
Raya is an exclusive, invite-only platform that is popular among celebrities, public figures, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals.
Unlike regular dating apps, users must apply for membership and go through a screening process before gaining access.
Apart from dating, the platform is also used for networking and building professional connections.
The viral screenshot comes after Jackky’s ‘situationship’ remark
The timing of the viral post has drawn attention because it follows Jackky Bhagnani’s widely discussed comment about his marriage.
During a conversation with Zingabad, the actor jokingly described his relationship with Rakul Preet Singh as a “situationship.”
He said:
“Rakul and I are married, but we are like in a situationship, which is, of course, we are exclusive to each other because that’s why we are married. But the most important thing is that I can talk to her about anything.”
His statement quickly went viral, with many social media users interpreting it differently from the context in which it was originally made.
Rakul Preet Singh defended her husband
Following the online reactions, Rakul Preet Singh addressed the controversy through an Instagram Story.
She said she and Jackky had laughed over how a single sentence from a long interview became the main headline.
“We had a great laugh today about how one line from an hour-long conversation can suddenly become the headline. Funny… until it’s not.”
She also urged media platforms to present conversations with proper context instead of focusing on click-worthy snippets.
“Context matters. Nuance matters. Conversations deserve better than being reduced to clickbait. Maybe it’s time platforms take a little more responsibility for the narratives they create,” she wrote.
Jackky and Rakul’s love story
Jackky Bhagnani and Rakul Preet Singh began dating during the COVID-19 lockdown.
After keeping their relationship private for some time, the couple made it official and tied the knot in a grand wedding ceremony in Goa in 2024.
Since then, they have frequently shared glimpses of their married life while continuing their work in the film industry.
As of now, there is no evidence confirming that the viral Raya profile belongs to Jackky Bhagnani, and the actor has not responded to the speculation.
