National Girlfriend Day, celebrated annually on August 1st, is all about cherishing love, companionship, and the special bond shared between partners. While the day has gained popularity for sweet gestures, date nights, and Instagram tributes, in B-town, it’s also a moment to shine the spotlight on those under-the-radar romances that keep fans buzzing.
Here’s a look at five rumoured couples in Bollywood who’ve been in the news for their chemistry—both on and off the screen.
1. Janhvi Kapoor & Shikhar Pahariya
Among the most talked-about rumoured couples, Janhvi and Shikhar’s link-up saga continues to grab attention. From temple visits to party appearances, they’ve been spotted together frequently. A now-deleted Instagram comment by Shikhar saying “I am all yours” under a post by Orry (Orhan Awatramani) only added fuel to the fire. The two were last seen seeking blessings at Mahakaleshwar Temple and sharing quiet moments at post-party pick-ups—fans are convinced it’s more than just friendship.
2. Palak Tiwari & Ibrahim Ali Khan
Are they or aren’t they? That’s been the question for months. While Palak insists that they’re just “nice friends,” sightings at movie nights and Ibrahim carrying Palak’s jacket have certainly stirred speculation. Though they’ve avoided official statements, their comfort around each other continues to catch the paparazzi’s eye.
3. Kriti Sanon & Kabir Bahia
Kriti has been linked to UK-based entrepreneur Kabir Bahia, who is reportedly nearly a decade younger than her. The duo is believed to have met during New Year 2023–24 celebrations in Dubai, possibly through Kriti’s sister Nupur and friends from the cricket circuit. Kabir, who co-founded Worldwide Aviation & Tourism Ltd., has strong social ties to the Dhoni family and was reportedly seen partying with Kriti in Dubai, sparking dating rumours.
4. Shraddha Kapoor & Rahul Mody
Shraddha and screenwriter Rahul Mody have managed to keep things lowkey, but hints from social media and public appearances have led many to believe they’re together. Though they haven’t confirmed anything, subtle signals and smiles continue to keep the grapevine abuzz with relationship talk.
5. Hrithik Roshan & Saba Azad
One of the most unexpected pairings in Bollywood, Hrithik and Saba’s romance first surfaced with quiet city outings and eventually went Instagram-official in late 2022. The two have since made joint red-carpet appearances and have often been seen holidaying and spending time with family, giving fans major couple goals.
From subtle hints to viral PDA, these Bollywood duos are giving fans plenty to celebrate this National Girlfriend Day. Whether it’s official or still under wraps, love—and speculation—is certainly in the air.
