Malaika Arora Spend Her Valentine’s Day With Her Rumored Boyfriend Harsh Mehta?

Social media is abuzz with a “romantic” selfie of Malaika Arora and her rumored boyfriend, diamond merchant Harsh Mehta, purportedly taken in Rome, Italy, over the Valentine’s Day week of 2026.

While the photo has sent the “Malla” fanbase into a frenzy, it has also sparked a wave of skepticism on platforms like Reddit.

The “Viral” Picture: Romantic Getaway or PR Stunt?

The image features the duo in a close-up selfie with a scenic Italian backdrop. However, netizens have been quick to dissect the authenticity of the “candid” moment:

• The “Studio Lighting” Theory: Several users on Reddit pointed out that the lighting in the photo looks “too perfect,” suggesting it might be part of a professional shoot or a calculated PR move rather than a private holiday snap.
• The “Manager” Counter-Claim: Interestingly, some long-time followers claim that Harsh Mehta is actually part of Malaika’s management team. They argue that his frequent presence at events (like the Enrique Iglesias concert in late 2025) is purely professional.
• Malaika’s Stance: In a recent interview, Malaika laughed off the rumors, stating she is linked to everyone she steps out with, whether it’s a “friend, manager, or anyone else.”

The Age Gap Discussion

As with her previous relationship with Arjun Kapoor, the age gap has become a talking point:

• Malaika Arora: 52 years old.
• Harsh Mehta: 33 years old (reportedly).
• The Gap: At 19 years, this has led to polarized reactions online, ranging from “hypocrisy” call-outs regarding gender double standards to fans simply cheering for her “living her best life.”
