Bollywood’s most low-key couple has reportedly called it quits. According to a Hindustan Times report, actress Sanya Malhotra and sitarist Rishab Rikhiram Sharma have broken up after approximately a year of rumoured dating — and the split, much like the relationship itself, happened entirely out of the public eye. What makes it more surprising? Reports suggest Rishab has already moved on with someone new.

What Actually Happened?
The two were never officially “a couple” in the public sense — no red carpet appearances, no social media posts, no statements. Sanya and Rishab were occasionally spotted together and quietly followed each other on social media, which is as much confirmation as Bollywood often gives these days.

According to the report, their separation was equally understated — they simply unfollowed each other online, and that was that. Rishab is now said to be in a new relationship, though he’s keeping things private for now.
It’s the kind of breakup that reflects a larger trend in Bollywood — celebrities handling their personal lives with increasing discretion, away from the relentless glare of celebrity culture. And honestly, there’s something refreshing about that.
What’s Next for Sanya Malhotra?
While her personal life may have hit a quiet chapter, Sanya’s professional front looks bright. She’s next appearing in Toaster alongside Rajkummar Rao — a Netflix comedy directed by Vivek Daschaudary, releasing on April 15, 2026. The film follows a miser’s hilariously strange approach to life, and if her past performances in Dangal and Mrs. are any indication, she’s going to be a delight to watch.
