Amidst swirling dating rumours, actress Fatima Sana Shaikh has been making headlines following her appearance at the special screening of the re-released classic film, Umrao Jaan. Adding fuel to the fire, photos of her with actor Vijay Varma from the event have gone viral, intensifying speculation about a potential romance between the two.

Shaikh, known for her roles in films like Dangal and Ludo, attended the Umrao Jaan premiere, where she was photographed alongside Varma, who has garnered acclaim for his performances in Gully Boy and Darlings. The pair's presence at the event, coupled with their off-screen camaraderie, has led many to wonder if they are the latest Bollywood couple.

However, amidst the speculation, Fatima Sana Shaikh has recently addressed the dating rumours. At the trailer launch of her upcoming film, Aap Jaisa Koi, she was directly asked about her relationship status. Shaikh clarified that she is currently single. When questioned about her ideal of romance, given the themes explored in Aap Jaisa Koi, she emphasized the importance of equality, mutual respect, and open communication in a relationship, further adding that compromises should be made by both partners without losing oneself. When asked if she had found someone who embodied these qualities, she responded lightheartedly, stating that "good guys only exist in films."

Adding to the intrigue, Shaikh and Varma are set to appear together in the upcoming film Ul Jalool Ishq. This has further fueled the rumour mill, with many suggesting that their on-screen chemistry may have translated into an off-screen romance. However, neither actor has officially confirmed a romantic relationship.

Notably, Vijay Varma was previously linked to actress Tamannaah Bhatia, his co-star from Lust Stories 2. Their breakup was reported earlier this year. The recent rumours surrounding Shaikh and Varma emerged shortly after, further intensifying the media attention.

Fatima Sana Shaikh has a busy schedule ahead. She is currently promoting Metro In Dino, which is slated to release on July 4, 2025, and Aap Jaisa Koi, set to premiere on Netflix on July 11, 2025. She is also working on Ul Jalool Ishq with Vijay Varma.

Vijay Varma's career has been on the rise, with notable roles in films and web series. He received recognition for Pink (2016), Gully Boy (2019), and Darlings (2022). His recent projects include Murder Mubarak and IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, both released on Netflix.

Whether or not the dating rumours are true, the pairing of Fatima Sana Shaikh and Vijay Varma has undoubtedly captured the public's attention.
