A fresh controversy has emerged around actor Kushal Tandon after social media personality Shreya Kalra claimed on the reality show Lock Upp that the actor allegedly flirted with her through Instagram while he was in a relationship with actress Shivangi Joshi. As the allegations gained traction online, Kushal’s sister, Tina Tandon, stepped forward to defend her brother, insisting that only one side of the story has been made public.
Shreya Kalra alleged that Kushal had sent her direct messages on Instagram and attempted to flirt with her during the time he was reportedly dating Shivangi Joshi. She further claimed that she did not encourage or reciprocate his advances. The statements quickly sparked discussions across social media, with fans debating the allegations.
Responding to the controversy, Tina Tandon shared a strongly worded statement on Instagram, urging people to avoid jumping to conclusions without hearing both sides. She stated that the recent remarks about her brother and his past relationship were “not true” and described the circulating narrative as only one version of the story.
In her statement, Tina wrote that while rumors may spread quickly, the truth remains strong. She emphasized that fairness begins with listening to every perspective before forming opinions. According to her, Kushal is currently unable to respond publicly because he is occupied with the reality show Alliance, making it impossible for him to address the allegations at this time.
Tina also thanked those who have chosen to support Kushal instead of making assumptions based on unverified claims. Her appeal encouraged fans to remain patient until the actor has an opportunity to present his side of the matter, rather than relying solely on allegations circulating online.
The controversy comes shortly after Kushal Tandon’s highly publicized breakup with actress Shivangi Joshi. The two reportedly fell in love while working together on the television series Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka. Kushal confirmed their relationship in October 2024, while announcing their separation in June 2025, ending months of speculation about their personal lives.
As discussions continue across social media, neither Kushal Tandon nor Shivangi Joshi has publicly commented on Shreya Kalra’s claims. Until further statements emerge, the matter remains based on public allegations and responses from those close to the actor, with fans awaiting clarification from all parties involved.
