Earlier this month, Shiv Thakare pranked his fans by sharing a wedding picture on Instagram. However, later, he revealed that it was from a shoot. Recently, The Free Press Journal spoke to Shiv about it, and he told us that he got a lot of 'gaaliyan' for doing the prank on social media.

Reality show star Shiv Thakare shocked his fans earlier this month when he shared a picture of his wedding, and in the caption wrote, "Finally." Everyone thought that he was married, but later, he revealed that it was a shoot for a project. Now, Shiv is gearing up to be seen in the new reality show titled The 50. The Free Press Journal recently interacted with Shiv, and spoke to him about the wedding prank.

He told us, "(There are some things which are not in my hands, they are in the hands of fun. The prank was that it was a picture of a shoot, and I had posted it. I thought that I should post, 'Finally, first shoot of 2026'. But I thought that I would post the next thing tomorrow. I did not know that the prank would be so much that I would be abused by my family members. My mother said 'what is this useless thing? What is going on? People are calling me'. So, I got a lot of abuses)."

Shiv further said, "(But there were some benefits. I received collaborations for weddings, which would be useful for my real wedding. Getting new brands would save my money. So, there were some benefits and some abuses)."

Further, Shiv revealed that it was a picture from a Marathi Koli song shoot, and the girl with him in the picture is an artist.

When he was asked about the girl in his real life, Shiv joked, " (Let her come)." When probed that in 2026 he would give the good news of the wedding, he said, "Hopefully."
