Sanya Malhotra and Rishab Sharma’s breakup
Now, reports suggest that Sanya Malhotra and Rishab Sharma have unfollowed each other on Instagram, which is often seen as a clear sign of a breakup in the digital age. If these reports are to be believed, Rishab has moved on in his life, though he has kept his personal life very private. Their relationship reportedly began in early 2025, when some secretly taken photos of them went viral on the internet.
