Actor Shanaya Kapoor Reveals She Caught Ex-Boyfriend Cheating, Texting 5 Women While On Trip

‘Tu Yaa Main’ starrer Shanaya Kapoor has spoken candidly about a painful chapter from her past, revealing how she caught her ex-boyfriend cheating while they were on a holiday together overseas. In a recent appearance on the RelationSh!t Advice hosted by Raunaq Rajani, the young actor shared how what seemed like a normal evening during their trip quickly turned into a moment she says she will never forget. Here what Shanaya Kapoor shared about her scariest relationship experience.

How Cab Booking Uncovered More Than Just Messages

Shanaya Kapoor explained that all this happened by chance. She started by saying, “I was thinking, 'This is it. It's too good to be true. What a life, wow. This is the best relationship.” The couple were abroad and heading out for dinner when her phone battery died. Her boyfriend casually handed her his phone so she could book a cab. It seemed harmless at the time.

While using his phone, a message notification popped up from a woman she did not recognise. She said, “The second girl popped up, the third girl, the fourth, the fifth. There were five girls he was messaging.” Something about it made her pause. She opened the chat and what she saw instantly unsettled her.

As she scrolled further, she realised it wasn’t just one conversation. There were similar chats with five different women. The messages were not friendly or distant but they carried a tone of closeness and intention. Shanaya admitted that in that moment, her heart sank. The holiday atmosphere suddenly felt heavy and uncomfortable.

Emotional Cheating: “It Was Just Messaging” - But Was It?

When she eventually confronted him, her ex reportedly tried to brush it off. He insisted it was “just messaging” and claimed “nothing physical” had happened.

For Shanaya, however, that explanation did not soften the blow. She made it clear that emotional cheating is still cheating. The hidden conversations and the disrespect mattered more than whether it had turned physical.

She shared that the betrayal felt even worse because they were travelling together at the time. Being in a foreign place made her feel stuck and unsure of what to do next. Instead of creating a scene immediately, she chose to process it quietly.

Ananya Kapoor Advice To Shanaya Kapoor

In the middle of the chaos, Shanaya Kapoor turned to her close friends for support. She took screenshots and sent them to her inner circle, including actor Ananya Panday. She further stated, “I took screenshots of the messages and sent them to my girls. My friend Ananya (Panday) was like, 'Catch a train and just come here.' We were pretty close by... I was like, 'I can't just catch a f***** train, what do I do?' This whole dinner, I'm pretending like everything's okay.”

Although she did not immediately fly back home, the advice gave her clarity. A few days later, she ended the relationship.

By sharing her story openly, Shanaya Kapoor has shown a vulnerable side that many admire. It’s a reminder that even in B-town, relationships can be complicated and painful.
