The “mystery man” that has been the frequent companion of Disha Patani has at last been unmasked. The Bollywood diva appeared for months alone with another character who became a notorious face-masker or a wearer of elaborate skull-themed face paint. But the recent wedding of Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben in Udaipur has led to a viral video proving he is the popular Punjabi singer and music producer Talwinder Singh Sidhu (better known only as Talwiinder).
The Viral Reveal: Hand-in-Hand at Udaipur
As footage arrived from Udaipur wedding celebrations, the internet erupted on Jan. 13, 2026. Unlike his usual public appearances as an enigma in a mask, Talwiinder was seen without disguise, chatting and laughing with Disha. The most important scene in the video is the one which sees the couple striding hand in hand, through the crowd and chatting casually to Disha’s best friend Mouni Roy and husband, Suraj Nambiar. Neither Disha nor Talwiinder have officially confirmed the relationship, yet the intimacy shown in such a high-profile event has led many to believe the duo are the "new" “IT” couple of B-Town.
- Fans Comment: Disha Now Brings Big Bucks “Disha Upgraded Big Time.” Social media, especially X (the new Twitter) and Reddit, have been thronged with the "unmasking." The match seems to be a hit for fans of both the actress and the singer.
- The "Upgrade" Narrative: A lot of the netizens were quick comparing the couple to Disha’s previous dates with comments like, "Disha upgraded BIG TIME," and "Finally she moved on from Tiger Shroff."
- A Power Couple in Development: Talwiinder, a giant of an artist known for his experimental Punjabi sounds (Lo-fi, Trap and Drill), is referred to as having made a "cultural crossover" between Bollywood and the Indie music scene.
Who is Talwiinder?
For the uninitiated who may fail to see past the mask, Talwiinder is a 27-year-old artist from Tarn Taran, Punjab, who moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. He has collaborated with industry behemoths like Karan Aujla and Yo Yo Honey Singh, and had his share of international star engagements, appearing with international stars like Dua Lipa and Shawn Mendes.
In fact, he has been known to wear masks to preserve confidentiality, claiming to eat gol gappe in a street stand without being photographed. But with the alleged relationship with one of India's most famous women now seemingly dominating the picture, his ‘privacy’ has taken a back seat.
Timeline of the Rumors
Reports of the two began around the New Year 2026 break when Disha was spotted holidaying in Goa. A video taken in the car ride showed a man laying his arm loosely around her shoulder on the armrest while a blurred profile of his face appeared over it. Fans are certain that Goa's mysterious companion was indeed the Duniya singer with this new wedding footage.
