Who Is Kabir Bahia? Kriti Sanon's Rumoured Boyfriend

Kriti Sanon has done it again. Hours after her Raksha Bandhan jewellery ad drew criticism online, the actor dropped a photo dump on Instagram — and tucked inside it was another glimpse of Kabir Bahia, the UK-based businessman she has been linked with since early 2024. She still has not used the word "boyfriend". She has also never denied it.

So who exactly is he? Here are the five things people keep searching for.

1. He is a London-based entrepreneur, not an actor

Kabir Bahia was born in November 1999 and grew up in the UK. He studied at Millfield, a well-known boarding school in Somerset, England, finishing there in 2018. In 2020 he founded Worldwide Aviation and Tourism Limited, a company that works in airline representation — sales, marketing, distribution and passenger services for carriers operating in the UK and other markets.

2. His family runs Southall Travel

Kabir''s father, Kuljinder Bahia, founded Southall Travel, one of the largest travel agencies in the UK. The Sunday Times Rich List put the family''s wealth at around £427 million, which is where the "millionaire heir" tag in every headline comes from. That is family wealth, not Kabir''s personal net worth — a distinction most posts skip.

3. There is a cricket connection

Bahia moves in cricketing circles. He has been photographed with MS Dhoni and holidayed with Hardik Pandya in Santorini, and he attended Pandya''s Udaipur wedding. He has also posted a photo with Sakshi Dhoni from Lord''s in London, and several reports describe a family link between them. Cricket, not cinema, is how he first showed up on Indian timelines.

4. The relationship has never been confirmed — or denied

The speculation started around New Year 2024, grew after a Holi post, and has run through Greece holidays, birthday posts and airport sightings since. In mid-2026, when a photo of Kabir with another woman at a wedding sparked breakup chatter, Kriti responded the way she always has: with a picture, not a statement. Asked about it in an interview, she said she would neither accept nor deny it.

5. The latest post is what put him back in the headlines

Kriti''s newest photo dump — selfies from an England trip, moments with her dog, and a frame with Kabir — landed on the same day her GIVA Raksha Bandhan campaign was being pulled apart online for its styling and its use of a dog. Whether that timing was strategy or coincidence, the internet read it as the former.
