Recently, however, a photo of Kabir with another woman surfaced on Reddit and quickly went viral. The image, seemingly taken at a casual gathering, showed Kabir standing behind the woman with his hands on her shoulders, while she appeared to be holding one of his hands.

The photo soon fuelled speculation online, with some social media users claiming that Kriti and Kabir may have parted ways. Now, a source close to Kabir has dismissed the rumours, stating that the image has been widely misunderstood. According to the source, the woman in the photo is a family friend whom Kabir considers like a sister.

The source told The Times of India, “The image being circulated online of Kabir with a girl has been completely misconstrued. She’s his family friend whom he considers like a sister. It’s unfortunate how quickly people jump to conclusions and spread false narratives.”

Although Kriti and Kabir have never confirmed their relationship, they have frequently been photographed together. From holiday getaways to festive celebrations, the duo has continued to spark dating rumours.

A few months ago, Kabir Bahia also shared pictures from Kriti’s sister Nupur Sanon’s wedding to Stebin Ben. Several moments from the celebrations caught fans’ attention, including a picture of Kriti and Kabir standing close to each other, further fuelling speculation about their relationship.
