Tuesday, January 14, 2026 — Bollywood actress Malaika Arora recently addressed dating rumours linking her with a mystery man, later identified as Harsh Mehta. The actress, known for hit dance numbers like Chaiyya Chaiyya, Munni Badman Hui, and Anarkali Chali Disco, shared her thoughts during an episode of The Namrata Zakaria Show.
Malaika Arora Talks About Dating Rumours
Malaika was first spotted with Harsh Mehta at the Enrique Iglesias concert in Mumbai, which fueled rumours. The two were also seen at the airport, though they avoided being photographed together.
Malaika said about the speculations:
“People like talking. If you are spotted with somebody, it becomes a huge discussion. I don’t want to give chatter too much fuel because it really doesn’t serve any purpose.”
She added that social media often links her with anyone she spends time with, even friends or colleagues.
“Every time I have stepped out, even with a longtime friend, a gay friend, a married friend, or my manager, I am immediately linked to them. My mother laughs about it too and calls me asking, ‘Who is this now, baby?’ It’s become laughable.”

Malaika also spoke about her past relationship with Arjun Kapoor, describing him as an important part of her life.
“He is somebody who is so very important to me and such an integral part of my life. I don’t want to talk too much about my past or future. Enough has been written, and it’s become a media feeding ground.”
