With many Gen Z stars and celebrities under the same roof, several were also in the company of their exes.

Malaika Arora with her ex and BF under one roof
It was Malaika Arora who arrived at the bash amid rumours of her relationship with Harsh Mehta. Although the two avoided posing together for the paparazzi, Harsh was seen entering Manish Malhotra’s house along with Amrita and Malaika. While making an exit, he waved and gave a thumbs-up to the paparazzi.
But to everyone’s surprise, Malaika’s ex Arjun Kapoor was also present at the party. A selfie of Arjun with other celebs has gone viral. However, the former couple reportedly did not cross paths.
For the party, Malaika went all blingy. She teamed a white shirt with an OTT pink-and-white lehenga. Malaika looked gorgeous as always.
Who is Harsh Mehta?
According to a DNA India report, Harsh Mehta is a diamond merchant. Rumours of Malaika dating the 33-year-old Harsh Mehta began when the duo attended Enrique Iglesias’ concert in Mumbai last October (2025).
She seemed to be in great spirits and was seen enjoying the night with a man. The two were spotted chatting throughout the show and later leaving the venue one after the other, which immediately sparked dating rumours online.
In recent times, the rumoured couple has been spotted together on various occasions. In February, the couple was spotted vacationing in Italy. A viral picture featuring the two during their Italian vacation surfaced on social media. The duo was spotted at the Trevi Fountain, which further fuelled dating rumours. In the frame, Malaika Arora was seen leaning towards her rumoured boyfriend, Harsh Mehta, as he captured a cosy selfie.
In March this year, Malaika attended Kritika Kamra and Gaurav Kapur’s reception in Mumbai. Harsh Mehta was present there too, but reportedly avoided the photographers.
Malaika’s past relationships
Malaika was in a relationship with Arjun Kapoor. The two started dating in 2018 and parted ways in 2024. She was married to actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan. The couple, who married in 1998, divorced in 2017. They share a son, Arhaan Khan.
