Bollywood’s darling Kriti Sanon has once again taken over social media—but not for her films or red-carpet appearances. This time, the spotlight is squarely on her personal life, and the internet can’t get enough.

Rumors have been swirling for months about Kriti’s alleged relationship with businessman Kabir Bahiyyah. Though the actress had always maintained her “single” status in interviews and public appearances, her actions have recently told a different story. And now, one Instagram Story has seemingly changed everything.

The moment that set the internet ablaze came from none other than Kabir himself. During the high-profile India vs. England Test match at Lord’s Stadium in London, Kabir shared an Instagram Story that featured none other than Kriti Sanon sitting right next to him. The two weren’t just casually hanging out—they looked effortlessly in sync, both sporting matching beige jackets and bright smiles.

This post was enough to fan the flames of speculation into a full-blown media frenzy. For the first time, fans felt they had solid proof that Kriti and Kabir are more than just “good friends.” They weren’t trying to hide, nor did they make any attempt to downplay their togetherness. The matching outfits, the cozy seating arrangement, and their cheerful faces watching cricket together told a story without a single word.

Kriti, often referred to as Bollywood’s “Robot Girl” for her poised and polished screen presence, has always kept her love life under wraps. Despite repeated questions and persistent media speculation, she’s steered clear of confirming any romantic ties—until now. Though neither Kriti nor Kabir has officially commented on the nature of their relationship, fans and followers believe the subtle confirmation has finally arrived.

One user commented on the viral photo: “Did they just confirm it? Finally?” Another chimed in with, “They look perfect together!” A third fan wrote, “Knew there was something going on—now we have proof.”

But the romance rumors aren’t brand new. For months, whispers about the couple’s growing closeness have circulated, especially after Kriti was spotted in Delhi around the same time Kabir was in town. This triggered talk of an impending wedding, with fans even speculating that the Sanon household could soon be gearing up for a celebration. However, that seems unlikely for now.

Sources close to the actress claim that while Kriti and Kabir are indeed serious about each other, wedding bells are not ringing just yet. Kriti is said to be focusing on her work commitments and has several major projects lined up for the year. “Marriage is not on the cards this year,” one insider revealed, “but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen down the line.”

Kabir Bahiyyah, unlike Kriti’s previous high-profile relationships with names like Sushant Singh Rajput and Kartik Aaryan, comes from outside the film industry. A low-profile businessman, Kabir is miles away from the glamor of B-Town, and perhaps that’s exactly what Kriti was looking for. Their relationship feels grounded, private, and very different from her past public romances.

Interestingly, it was this contrast—the actress’s A-list status paired with Kabir’s quiet persona—that initially sparked curiosity. The idea that a leading Bollywood star could fall for someone so far removed from the limelight intrigued fans. Now, with this public appearance, that curiosity has turned into full-blown interest.

Kriti and Kabir’s appearance at Lord’s Stadium was not just a couple’s outing; it was a statement. Amidst the roaring crowd and cricket cheers, their quiet moment together spoke volumes. They weren’t walking a red carpet, they weren’t being interviewed, and yet, they became the most talked-about topic online.

And this isn’t the first time Bollywood fans have seen a love story blossom in unexpected places. From airport sightings to quiet dinners, the public has become expert at connecting the dots. But this time, it feels more deliberate. A soft launch. A gentle nudge toward going public.

So what’s next for the new couple?

Kriti is currently juggling multiple film projects and brand endorsements. Her career continues to soar, and she remains one of the most bankable actresses in the industry. Kabir, meanwhile, keeps a low profile, avoiding media attention despite being thrust into the limelight thanks to this rumored romance.

Whether or not they choose to speak publicly about their relationship, one thing is clear: the world is watching, and fans are invested. In a celebrity culture obsessed with secrecy, Kriti and Kabir’s quiet confirmation feels refreshing.

Will there be a formal announcement? An engagement? A wedding? Only time will tell. But for now, fans are happy just knowing that love might finally be blooming for their favorite star.
