Eventually, he posted a video stating that it was a segment from his most recent filming. Recently, during a public appearance, the paparazzi praised him, asking for details about his rumored secret wedding.

In a viral clip, when the press congratulated him, the actor asked, “For what?” (For what purpose?)” The media experts highlighted his post where he donned wedding clothes and captioned it 'Finally.' Addressing all speculation and intrigue, the Marathi actor stated, “Galati se tha bhai, shooting tha. Shooting wali shadi thi. Mummy toh nahi thi meri; mummy ke bina shadi kaise hogi? (My mother was absent. Would my wedding take place without her?”

While getting ready to exit, Shiv emphasised again, “Bhai, shadi nahi hui hai. Aese jo aane wala hai vo bhi nahi aayega.” (My wedding did not take place. If everyone has this mindset, a person who is meant to enter my life won’t arrive.)

Following Shiv’s post on social media, Vicky Jain and Akanksha Puri commended him, and many users on social media expressed their feelings and sent best wishes. Certain users asserted that he is single, yet the truth revealed by the photo suggested otherwise.
