Overview
- Videos from the opening of Malaika Arora’s Juhu restaurant, Sweeney Bombay, showed her hugging and dancing with Splitsvilla contestant Sorab Bedi, prompting online speculation.
- Sorab Bedi told Zoom/Telly Talk India there is nothing romantic between them and urged people to avoid harmful assumptions about Arora.
- In separate remarks, Bedi said he met Arora years ago through mentors Delnaz Daruwala and Vahbiz Mehta and noted he had shared similar photos before he was well known.
- Hindustan Times reported that Bedi’s Instagram post congratulating Arora on the launch, which included photos from the party, was later deleted.
- Arora has not issued a new comment, as earlier reports linking her to businessman Harsh Mehta — including a widely shared Italy photo and a reported 19‑year age gap — continue to feature in coverage.
