A few days ago, Malaika Arora once again made headlines after a video of her cosily dancing with MTV Splitsvilla 16 fame Sorab Bedi went viral. Now, Bedi has broken his silence to rumours linking him to the actress. The viral photos and videos showed the two posing closely together, hugging and dancing at a party, sparking speculation that the two might be dating. However, Sorab has put all rumours to rest, calling them baseless and explained that he has known Malaika for several years.
Sorab Bedi breaks silence on dating rumours with Malaika Arora
Speaking on a podcast with Pinkvilla, Sorab recalled when he first met the actress during his early modelling days, adding that their friendship developed naturally through common social circles.
He shared, “During my modelling days, Malaika was close friends with people who used to give me shows. That’s how I became friends with her. I used to attend parties and Malaika would also be there. We have been partying together since then, it’s not something that started recently. I had posted similar pictures and videos earlier as well, but back then I wasn’t very well known, so people didn’t pay attention.”

Sorab’s clarification comes days after a video from a party at Malaika’s newly opened restaurant went viral online. In the clip, the duo could be seen dancing and enjoying the celebration, sparking speculation about their relationship.
The reality star had shared photos from the evening on Instagram with Malaika and other guests, congratulating the actress on her new venture. He wrote, “Congratulations malaikaaroraofficial for sweeneybombay (sic).”
Earlier, Malaika was linked to diamond merchant Harsh Mehta. The rumours of Malaika and Harsh gained traction after the two were spotted together at a concert and later seen together on several occasions. Interestingly, a picture of them from Rome had also circulated online earlier this year. Their Rome pictures led to speculations that the two were celebrating Valentine’s Day together.
Previously, Malaika was open about her relationship with actor Arjun Kapoor. However, she has not publicly reacted to the rumours surrounding Harsh Mehta. According to reports, the two have a significant age gap between them, with Malaika being 52 and Harsh being 33.
