Trevi Fountain selfie with Harsh Mehta sets off fresh dating chatter
February 22, 2026: When it comes to headline-making moments, Malaika Arora rarely stays away from the spotlight. A recent photograph from Italy has reignited rumours about her alleged relationship with diamond merchant Harsh Mehta. The viral image shows Malaika leaning in close as Harsh clicks a selfie in front of Rome’s iconic Trevi Fountain. The timing — February 14 — prompted social media users, especially on Reddit, to speculate whether the two celebrated Valentine’s Day together. Dressed in winter layers, Malaika opted for a chic black trench and minimal makeup, while Harsh wore a grey coat over a hoodie.
This isn’t the first time the duo has been linked. Last October, Malaika was spotted at an Enrique Iglesias concert in Mumbai with a mystery man later identified by netizens as Harsh. They were also photographed at Mumbai airport weeks later, walking separately amid flashing cameras. However, neither Malaika nor Harsh has publicly confirmed the nature of their equation, even as speculation continues to swirl online.
Earlier this year, during an appearance on The Namrata Zakaria Show, Malaika addressed constant relationship rumours, saying she avoids adding fuel to gossip that serves no purpose. The actor, previously married to Arbaaz Khan and later linked to Arjun Kapoor, has often spoken about living under intense public scrutiny. For now, the Rome snapshot remains just another viral moment — one that has once again put her personal life at the centre of conversation.
