Like many in Bollywood, the dancing sensation Nora Fatehi’s character has always remained deeply private about her romantic life. One of the most followed celebs on social media but rarely outspoken on speculation in personal affairs. The “Dilbar” star, however, has in recent weeks been caught up in a global discussion associated with the international football star Achraf Hakimi.
The rumors spread after Nora was seen in attendance at several high-profile matches, cheering feverishly for the Morocco National Team. With Nora’s proud Moroccan roots and Hakimi being the team’s influential captain, fans have wondered more than national pride about her presence in the stands.
Who is Achraf Hakimi?
Achraf Hakimi is one of world football’s great right-backs. Born to Moroccan parents in Madrid, Spain, the 27-year-old decided to take his place at the club, eventually taking the place as captain of the Moroccan national side. He may have a distinguished football career with such clubs as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), but his personal life is littered with years of scrutiny and litigation.
A Confusing Personal Life and a Divorce
In 2020, Hakimi’s private life became a news sensation when he married Spanish actress Hiba Abouk. They’re the parents of two children, but their relationship plunged into crisis publicly as of early 2023. The couple publicly announced their divorce in 2023, then spread a (largely unverified) viral tale of how his assets had been hidden under his mother's name to avoid a divorce settlement.
Serious Allegations and Legal Battles
The cloud of legal concern hanging over Hakimi is one of the most astonishing elements of his recent career history. Consequently, in 2023 a preliminary investigation opened in Paris following allegations of sexual assault made by a young woman. Hakimi vehemently denied all charges, his lawyers arguing that the player was a victim of an alleged "extortion and blackmail" plot.
In February 2026, the investigation was still under way. Since 2008, when the player began taking the field both for the club, but also for his country, the shadow of this case remains an important part of his public narrative.
The Nora Fatehi Connection
Nora Fatehi is not new to being associated with high profile names. Her name previously appeared by a number of Indian film industry icons, but linking her to a global sporting superstar such as Hakimi has elevated the discussion to the world. Although Nora continues to provide beautiful updates and career milestones for millions of followers she doesn't engage in the usual discussion of dating rumours.
Supporters are divided: some are applauding an idea a potential 'power couple' representing Morocco on the world stage; others worry about the footballer’s controversial legal past. As Nora rules and Hakimi leads the team on the field, who knows if these are the rumors about an actual connection, or one of both Moroccan icons taking a turn for the better on the big stage.
