Recent social media posts featuring Malaika Arora and Splitsvilla X6 star Sorab Bedi sparked widespread speculation about a possible romantic relationship. However, Sorab Bedi has now clarified the situation, stating that they are simply friends.
In an interview with Times Now, Sorab addressed the rumours directly, dismissing any claims of a romantic link. He explained, “Delnaz Daruwala and Vahbiz Mehta gave me a chance to walk the ramp during my modelling days. I became friends with them and started attending parties. At one of these gatherings, I met Malaika through my mentors. She is also a close friend of Delnaz and Vahbiz. That’s how our friendship began. There’s nothing more to it.”
Sorab also expressed concern over the spread of false rumours, urging people to be mindful of their words. “People are talking a lot about us. They should think twice before speaking about a girl. It can impact her mental health. Aisa karna nahin chahiye,” he emphasized. He added that he and Malaika have known each other for years and that their interactions have always been friendly. “I shared pictures and videos with Malaika before, when I was not well-known. Now that I am, people notice it more. But we are just friends; there’s no other connection,” he clarified.
The rumours gained traction after recent pictures and videos of Sorab dancing and partying with Malaika at her Juhu restaurant circulated online. In one photo, they posed together, while a video showed them grooving at the event. Following the speculation, Sorab deleted the social media posts.
Malaika Arora, previously married to Arbaaz Khan, divorced in 2017. She was also reported to have been dating Arjun Kapoor until their breakup earlier this year. Despite the rumours, Sorab Bedi has now set the record straight, reaffirming that their relationship is purely platonic.
