2026-11-10T01:48:44+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk

Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

Kriti Sanon shared photos from her Diwali celebrations at her Mumbai home on Monday, 9 November, featuring her family, celebrity guests and her rumoured boyfriend, London-based businessman Kabir Bahia. The pictures show Sanon with her parents, sister Nupur Sanon and brother-in-law singer Stebin Ben. Filmmaker Karan Johar and actor Sonakshi Sinha with husband Zaheer Iqbal were also present. Bahia, 27, is founder and managing director of Worldwide Aviation and Tourism Limited and son of Kuljinder Bahia, owner of UK travel company Southall Travel. Sanon, 36, who has previously said she will not discuss her personal life until she is married, was last seen in Cocktail 2 and Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, both released in 2026. She is yet to announce her next film.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Indiatvnews.com leads with a photo album focus and a separate "Who is Kabir Bahia?" section, framing the story around celebrity lifestyle and the rumoured relationship. Hindustan Times and The Times of India provide broader family- and guest-focused coverage, including quotes from Kriti Sanon's earlier Times Now interview about keeping her personal life private until marriage. All three outlets report the same core facts, Diwali photos, family, Kabir Bahia's presence and background, and guests Karan Johar and Sonakshi Sinha, with no factual disagreements. The coverage is uniformly neutral straight reporting across all three sources. The only variation is in layout and detail depth: Hindustan Times and The Times of India include professional background on Sanon's work and career, while Indiatvnews.com adds her audition clip mention and net worth of the Bahia family from the Sunday Times Rich List 2019. None of the sources adopt a critical, sensationalist or ideological stance.
