Ashu Reddy recently sparked engagement rumors after sharing a series of pictures on Instagram that showed her holding hands with a man, wearing a ring, and taking part in a traditional ceremony.
With no caption attached to the post, the images quickly went viral, leading many media outlets and social media users to assume that she had gotten engaged.
However, the truth has now come out. The pictures were reportedly part of a promotional strategy for her upcoming web series “Vikram On Duty”, which is set to stream on JioHotstar.
Ashu later shared the complete photos and clarified that the viral engagement visuals were taken from the series.
The actress had deliberately avoided adding any caption to the original post, which further fueled speculation and online buzz.
The timing of the viral post also drew more attention because Ashu Reddy has recently been in the news over a legal case filed by an NRI businessman, who accused her of allegedly cheating him of Rs 9 crore after reportedly promising marriage. The case is currently under investigation.
Against this backdrop, the engagement-style pictures gained even more traction online before it was finally confirmed that the entire episode was linked to promotions for her show.
