What is the story about?
Anshula Kapoor, who tied the knot recently with Rohan Thakkar, dropped a kaleera charm on her elder brother Arjun Kapoor. It seems the ritual is doing
its job perfectly. Rumour mills are active with the gossip that the Ishaqzaade actor is in a relationship with actress Sahiba Bali. Arjun has been private about his personal life; hence, the buzz around his proximity to her remains exclusive to social media. On Sunday, the internet lit up with pictures of Arjun and Sahiba at Lord’s Stadium in England, where they were watching India vs England 3rd ODI.
Who is Sahiba Bali?
Sahiba Bali, like Arjun, is an actress. Born on December 5, 1994, into a Kashmiri family, she started her acting journey with Laila Majnu in 2018. She went on to star in Bard of Blood (2019) and Tanaav (2022). Her mother is a Punjabi Hindu, and her father is a Kashmiri Sikh. Before making her acting debut, Sahiba received a degree in Economics from Delhi University. She moved to the U.K. for higher studies. After studying marketing, she also attended a business programme at the University of Oxford.
After completing her education, Sahiba worked as a Marketing Associate for Zomato’s Feeding India initiative. Later, as the brand manager, she looked after entertainment partnerships, global and pan-India content strategy for BTL, ATL and in- app communications. She also led in-film integrations, partnerships and cross-brand collaborations while being responsible for building digital and on-ground marketing campaigns for partner brands. Sahiba also hosted Zomato's YouTube videos.

Sahiba revealed in interviews that she had auditioned for Triptii Dimri’s role in Laila Majnu. However, she was eventually signed for the character of Ambreen, who is the protagonist’s sister. The actress played Abida in Bard of Blood and was seen as a journalist in Amar Singh Chamkila.
Along with acting, Sahiba has worked as a sports presenter too. Her lively interaction with Australian cricketer Mitchell Starc went viral on social media. She has been associated with major cricketing events, such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), and has interviewed top cricketers.
Arjun Kapoor's past relationship
Arjun was previously in a relationship with Malaika Arora. They broke up in 2024 after dating for six years. Malaika is rumoured to be dating Harsh Mehta. Arora and Kapoor fell in love after the former’s divorce from Arbaaz Khan. They were married for 18 years and have a son named Arhaan Khan.
