Kushal Tandon Denies Cheating Claims as Controversy Over Who Messaged First Escalates

On the reality‑TV series Alliance, actor Kushal Tandon responded to allegations by contestant Shreya Kalra that he had texted her while he was dating actress Shivangi Joshi. Tandon said the messages were initiated by Kalra after a promotional shoot for his show Barsaatein, asserting that he does not DM girls.

Kalra’s boyfriend, Rishabh Jaiswal, later said he accessed Kalra’s phone and saw that Tandon had sent the first direct message. He declined to share screenshots but claimed Tandon’s earlier denial was inaccurate. The dispute has generated discussion on social media.
