The news of breakup between Bollywood actress Sanya Malhotra and famous sitar player Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma has become a topic of discussion these days. According to media reports, after dating each other for more than a year, the two have now separated. The discussion about this alleged breakup became more intense when fans noticed that both of them unfollowed each other on Instagram.
According to a report in Hindustan Times, both of them have parted ways very peacefully. The report also claims that Rishabh has probably moved on in his life, although he is keeping his new relationship completely private. Throughout their relationship, Sanya and Rishabh never accepted their love publicly nor did they ever come in front of the media as a couple.
How did the dating rumors start?
The news of their relationship first came to light in the beginning of the year 2025, when some pictures of them spending time together went viral on social media. A user on Reddit had shared such pictures in which both were present at the same place. In one photo, Rishabh was posing with a fan and Sanya was standing right near him, which gave the fans a hint of being with them.
After this, he was also seen getting photographed with the same person at different times at the same event. Even in December 2024, some people had claimed to have seen them together in an event. Although they always kept it low-profile, these small episodes fueled the discussion about their affair.
