Interestingly, Bollywood star Kriti Sanon has announced her romance with London-based businessman Kabir Bahia. The date of the announcement was January 2026, with interest and awe piquing widely on social media and in entertainment spaces. Kriti, whose career in film has been both successful and elegant in the public eye, shocked fans by picking someone out of the world of film and by sharing her own happiness.
Kriti is 35 years old and Kabir Bahia is 26, so they are not the same age. But Kriti has been praised for her trust in entering into the relationship. She formally made the relationship Instagram-official, with a heartfelt caption saying: “Kabir the one I can be stupid with.” This playful and candid mention offered fans an insight into the way their relationship was formed in the context of comfort and happiness.
The couple has been photographed together in public settings including Kriti’s sister Nupur Sanon’s wedding, cricket matches at Lord’s in London and vacations in Greece and France. These are all appearances indicating that the relationship is more than just legit; it’s backed by their families and their best friends. Their chemistry in public photos reflects a relaxed, happy partnership far from the usual glamour-based celebrity romances.
Kabir Bahia, for that matter, is not a public figure, but has drawn quick attention with a relaxed and down-to-earth demeanor. He’s a successful London-based businessman, and his low-key lifestyle does seem to offset Kriti’s headline-grabbing career. Fans praised Kriti for opting for someone who doesn’t live in entertainment, claiming that her choosing someone that was less popular is more mature and evidence that she wants to find a real relationship.
Kriti and Kabir sharing that age gap has had a bit of buzz online, but the majority says they've had good reactions. There are many fans of dating Kriti, and plenty of people share the idea that love shouldn’t be determined by age, and Kriti’s openness has made such a relationship a part of the status quo for everyone. Her decision to reveal her life publicly with Kabir is another way celebrities are now starting to share their private worlds candidly, and with self-assurance.
Despite the headline-grabbing nature of their love life Kriti and Kabir have both kept their relationship secret for a long, long time. Kriti only recently decided to share it with the world. Her fans have reacted in kind, congratulating her on her joy and backing her decision. The couple’s celebrations at weddings and in cricket stadiums reflect a connection that is real and good fun.
The media response to the relationship has been respectful and focused more on the good parts of their relationship. Kriti’s fans respect her for remaining faithful to herself and sticking with love instead of defying societal convention. Kabir’s presence can be a peace shaper in her own life, and for people like her who think love and peace is necessary for people with a busy and demanding career like hers, she is in some cases the world.
The couple’s social media accounts have been inundated with supportive postings, fans describing them as “adorable” and “real.” It is a relationship in need of words of encouragement, and not of fame or publicity, but of shared values, laughter and respect. Kriti’s decision to associate with someone who does not work in the world has also helped others find hope that love can reach beyond social circles and fields.
Lastly, I wrote a story about how Kriti Sanon and Kabir Bahia are a very lovely demonstration of a love that is not just glamorous and shows. Yet it’s also a film about two people uniting to share a good time, albeit with disparate age or background. Kriti seems to keep on blooming in the professional world, and her real life is also booming as well. We all can’t wait to see where this is in this relationship but fans are happy enough for most of this time she is smiling. They taught us that the keys to happiness, in our hearts, at least, are the mundane details: laughing together, being there for each other in silence, being yourself to a man who gets you (and knows you) and you.
