Malaika Arora attended fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s Diwali party in Mumbai with her rumoured boyfriend, Harsh Mehta, but the pair skipped the photographers’ joint photo-op.
According to NDTV, Malaika posed for the paparazzi on her own before gesturing for Harsh to join her as they prepared to leave. Harsh greeted the photographers and gave them a thumbs-up before departing with the actor.
For the occasion, Malaika paired a white shirt with a pink-and-white lehenga, opting for a glamorous look. Her former boyfriend, Arjun Kapoor, also attended the party, although the two reportedly did not cross paths.
As per DNA India report, Harsh is a diamond merchant. Dating rumours surrounding him and Malaika gained momentum after they attended Enrique Iglesias’s concert in Mumbai in October 2025. The two were spotted chatting during the event and leaving the venue separately.
Their appearances together have since fuelled speculation about their relationship. In February 2026, a picture from their reported holiday in Italy went viral on social media. The image showed Malaika leaning towards Harsh as he took a selfie near Rome’s Trevi Fountain.
Harsh was also reportedly present at the Mumbai reception of Kritika Kamra and Gaurav Kapur in March, where he avoided photographers.
Before the rumours about Harsh emerged, Malaika was in a relationship with Arjun. The pair began dating in 2018 and parted ways in 2024.
Malaika was previously married to actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan. They married in 1998, divorced in 2017 and share a son, Arhaan Khan.
