Following her split from Arjun Kapoor, Malaika Arora has been linked to a younger gentleman named Harsh Mehta. The buzz began when they were seen together at a concert in Mumbai and later at the airport. Recently, speculation has grown after a photo of the two together went viral on social media.
A Reddit user posted a snapshot of Malaika and Harsh enjoying their time in Italy, presumably during their Valentine’s getaway. The user captioned the photo: “Malaika’s Valentine at Trevi Fountain?? Spotted Malaika Arora with her (not so) little boyfriend at Trevi Fountain on 14th February…”
In the picture, Malaika and Harsh are seen capturing a selfie in front of the famous Trevi Fountain.
While not much is publicly known about Harsh Mehta, reports suggest he is a diamond merchant in his early 30s.
Addressing the ongoing rumors about her personal life, Malaika spoke candidly on The Namrata Zakaria Show. She shared her thoughts on the constant speculation, saying, “People enjoy discussing my life. If I’m seen with someone, it sparks a whirlwind of conversation. I prefer not to give too much attention to this chatter. It’s amusing how every time I go out—whether it’s with a long-time friend, a married friend, or even a manager—I end up being linked to them. My mother often calls to ask, ‘Who’s this now, baby? Who are they talking about?’ It’s become quite laughable.”
Malaika continued by highlighting how her relationships often make headlines. “My personal life has always been a topic of discussion and it frequently makes the news. I remember thinking at one point that my life is more than just my relationships. It often draws too much attention, and unfortunately, people overlook that there’s more to me than what’s printed. I’ve reached a stage where I don’t need to prove anything to anyone; I just want to pursue what makes me happy and hope others can see that.”
