Sanya Malhotra–Rishabh Sharma split: Quiet romance ends, new love angle emerges

Actor Sanya Malhotra and sitarist Rishabh Rikhinram Sharma were never the kind to put their relationship on display. For over a year, the two were believed to be seeing each other, but chose to keep things extremely private. There were no social media confirmations, no joint appearances, and certainly no “official” announcements. Their equation stayed low-key, with only occasional sightings sparking curiosity among fans.

Despite the secrecy, whispers about their bond began doing the rounds earlier this year. Reports suggested that the two started dating sometime in early 2025, but preferred to keep their personal lives away from public scrutiny.

Subtle sightings and growing speculation

Even though they avoided the spotlight, a few moments gave fans something to talk about. Paparazzi occasionally caught them leaving the same venue separately, a move often associated with celebrity couples trying to stay under the radar.

In January 2025, a Reddit post added fuel to the fire. Photos surfaced showing Sanya and Rishabh at the same gathering, including one where the musician was seen posing with a fan while Sanya stood nearby. Around the same time, fans also noticed the two attending the same event and clicking pictures with the same person, albeit individually.

Another claimed sighting from December 2024 further strengthened the buzz. While none of these moments confirmed anything officially, they were enough to keep speculation alive among followers who were convinced there was more than friendship.

Breakup reports and where things stand now

Now, according to recent reports, Sanya and Rishabh have decided to go their separate ways. The split, much like their relationship, has reportedly been handled quietly. Sources suggest that the two parted ways some time ago and chose not to make it public.

There are also claims that Rishabh has moved on and may be seeing someone else, though this, too, is being kept out of the limelight. As of now, neither Sanya nor Rishabh has addressed the reports, continuing to maintain silence.

Their story seems to have followed a consistent pattern, from a private romance to a discreet separation. For fans, it remains a relationship that was felt more through whispers than words, and ended just as quietly as it began.
