Indian model and Bollywood actress Malaika Arora has sparked fresh rumours after videos and photographs of her dancing with Sorab Bedi, a contestant on the TV reality show Splitsvilla, went popular online.
Bedi, a star of the Indian TV shows Chand Jalne Laga, Dilwali Dulha Le Jayegi and MTV Splitsvilla, posted a string of pictures and videos of the two at a Mumbai restaurant, dancing and sharing happy moments. He captioned the post: "Congratulations @malaikaaroraofficial for @sweeneybombay."

And that was enough to fuel speculation of a relationship between the two. According to India media, Bedi was attending a celebration at Arora's restaurant in Mumbai.
Neither Arora nor Bedi have offered any comment.
Arora, 52, however, has been in the news, with speculation looming large over her new partner.
Late last month, Arora—best known for her iconic appearance in the Chaiyya Chaiyya number from Shah Rukh Khan's Dil Se (1998)—was seen in Italy with businessman Harsh Mehta, clicking selfies at the iconic Trevi Fountain. Mehta, according to The Times of India, hails from an affluent family and is a diamond merchant. Both are yet to offer any confirmation. The two were also spotted together at Enrique Iglesias' concert in Mumbai in October last year.
A dancer, TV personality and video jockey, Arora was married to Arbaaz Khan, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's brother, in 1998. She co-founded the film production company Arbaaz Khan Productions, which created the Dabangg film series, starring her brother-in-law. Arora and Arbaaz, who have a son, divorced in 2017.
She later dated actor Arjun Kapoor. They made multiple public appearances in the days since then. The two, however, broke up in 2024.
Arora last appeared in the song Poison Baby from the 2025 Bollywood movie Thamma, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna.
A regular to Dubai, Arora celebrated her 48th birthday in style, as she went skydiving and soaked in the majestic views of the emirate.
