At Kritika Kamra and Gaurav Kapur's wedding reception, Malaika Arora's alleged 17-year-younger bf seemed to avoid media attention.
Kritika Kamra and Gaurav Kapur are officially married now. The television actress tied the knot with the sports presenter on March 11, 2026. The couple opted for an intimate ceremony at their Bandra residence in Mumbai, attended by close friends and family. They held a low-key registry marriage followed by a small pooja. After their wedding pics went viral on social media, their reception bash made headlines. At the star-studded event, several cricketers and Bollywood stars, including Malaika Arora, were present. However, the one who caught everyone's attention was Malaika's alleged bf, Harsh Mehta.
Harsh Mehta, the rumoured boyfriend of Malaika Arora, reportedly avoided the paparazzi during the wedding reception of Gaurav Kapur and Kritika Kamra on the night of March 12, 2026. While Malaika Arora posed confidently for photographers in a metallic silver gown, Mehta chose to maintain a low profile. He reportedly steered clear of the main red carpet and entered the venue through a rear entrance to avoid being photographed. Despite his efforts, the paparazzi managed to catch a glimpse of him as he quickly made his way into the celebration. Reports suggest that Harsh's behaviour stemmed from the alleged couple not yet publicly confirming their relationship.

Malaika Arora and her rumoured boyfriend, Harsh Mehta, were seen together at the Mumbai airport on November 26, 2025. The duo maintained a distance and walked separately as they exited the terminal to avoid being photographed side by side. However, paparazzi captured them getting into the same car in the parking area shortly after. Malaika sported black jogger pants with a matching black jacket. She accessorised with a golden bracelet, brown shades, and a duffel bag. Harsh matched her in all-black, wearing a casual blazer over a T-shirt and trousers. He covered his face with a black mask.
The airport sighting was the second time Malaika and Harsh were papped together. The pair was first spotted together at an Enrique Iglesias concert in Mumbai. Videos from the event showed them interacting and standing together in the VIP section, which Malaika grooved. Malaika and Harsh were also seen leaving the venue around the same time, sparking dating rumours. Recently, the duo's dating speculations heightened after a photo of them on vacation in Italy surfaced online in February 2026. The pair was reportedly seen celebrating Valentine's week together. Some reports also claimed to have spotted them getting cosy time at the iconic Trevi Fountain in Rome.
Harsh Mehta is a 33-year-old man from Mumbai who is currently rumoured to be dating 50-year-old actress, Malaika Arora. Their 17-year age gap has raised eyebrows among fans. Regarding his background, Harsh reportedly belongs to an affluent family and is a diamond merchant by profession. As the duo's joint appearances went viral on social media, some fans have come forward to defend them, saying there was no romance angle. Some Redditors even speculated that Harsh might be Malaika's manager, which would explain why he frequently accompanies her to events.
Some fans even claimed to have noticed Harsh with Malaika in some earlier events as well. A fan wrote, "Fake information, he is her manager," while another Reddit user stated, "Guys, chill this man has been with her at shoots before too." As not much is known about Harsh Mehta, people have been coming up with their own theories about his background and his relationship with Malaika Arora. Notably, amid all the noise, the duo has not issued any official statement regarding their relationship status.
