Bollywood actor Kriti Sanon has once again sent the internet into a frenzy after being spotted at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham, UK. The actress was seen enjoying the high-octane first One Day International (ODI) cricket match between India and England on Tuesday. Adding fuel to the ongoing dating rumors, she was accompanied by her rumored beau, UK-based entrepreneur Kabir Bahia.
The couple’s appearance comes amidst intense social media speculation regarding their relationship status, effectively putting recent breakup rumors to rest. Dressed in a casual yet trendy olive green striped top and white trousers, Kriti was seen cheering enthusiastically for Team India alongside Kabir and their mutual friends from the stands.
Viral Pictures and Social Media Snippets From Edgbaston
The rumors of their joint outing were confirmed when Kabir Bahia took to his Instagram handle to share a series of pictures and videos directly from the venue. One of the shared photographs features Kabir, Kriti, and a close friend smiling brightly as they posed inside the stadium. Kriti also shared brief, exciting glimpses of the match on her Instagram Stories, showcasing her love for the sport.
Following these official posts, several fan-captured photos and videos of Kriti sitting in the stands began circulating rapidly on X (formerly Twitter). Fans immediately noticed her radiant, minimal makeup look and stylish sunglasses. The actress’s presence in the VIP stands became one of the main talking points of the match, alongside former Indian captain MS Dhoni, who was also spotted at the venue with his wife Sakshi.
Putting Breakup Rumors to Rest
Interest in Kriti Sanon’s personal life has skyrocketed in recent months. Speculation about her relationship with Kabir first gained major momentum around her 34th birthday celebrations. Kabir was also seen attending the intimate wedding of Kriti’s sister, Nupur Sanon, to singer Stebin Ben, which further solidified his close bond with the Sanon family.
However, the couple faced sudden breakup rumors online after a photograph of Kabir posing with another woman surfaced on social media. Sources close to Kabir quickly clarified that the woman in the photo was simply a close family friend. Kriti subtly shut down the split rumors by posting a cozy “half-yearly photo dump” on her Instagram, which featured a warm picture of her and Kabir wrapping their arms around each other. Their cheerful joint appearance at the Birmingham match has now served as the ultimate confirmation that the couple is still going strong.
Who is Kabir Bahia and What’s Next for Kriti?
For those unfamiliar, Kabir Bahia is a prominent UK-based businessman. He completed his education at a prestigious boarding school in England and is the founder of Worldwide Aviation and Tourism Limited. He belongs to an affluent business family; his father, Kuljinder Bahia, is the owner of Southall Travel, one of the UK’s leading travel agencies.
On the professional front, Kriti Sanon is riding high on the success of her latest theatrical release, Cocktail 2, directed by Homi Adajania. The film, which also stars Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna, has had an impressive run at the box office, crossing the coveted ₹50 crore mark in its opening weekend.
