From Masked Singer to Disha Patani’s Date: The Mystery of Talwiinder at Nupur Sanon’s Wedding

The Bollywood grapevine is buzzing with a new romance that no one saw coming—or rather, a romance with a man whose face many had never seen. Over the last week of January 2026, actress Disha Patani and Punjabi indie sensation Talwiinder have dominated social media headlines following their high-profile appearances at the wedding festivities of Nupur Sanon and singer Stebin Ben.

From holding hands in Udaipur to "hide-and-seek" antics with the paparazzi in Mumbai, here is the full story behind the industry's most mysterious new pairing.

The Udaipur Spark: A Viral Hand-Holding Moment

The rumors ignited when a video surfaced from the wedding celebrations of Kriti Sanon's sister, Nupur Sanon, in Udaipur. In the clip, Disha Patani—stunning in a traditional ensemble—was seen laughing and holding onto the arm of a man in a black outfit. Netizens were quick to identify the "mystery man" as Talwiinder Singh Sidhu, known professionally as Talwiinder.

What caught fans' attention wasn't just the proximity, but the comfort level between the two. The pair was later spotted together at the Udaipur airport, where Disha was seen assisting Talwiinder with his boarding pass, and the singer was seen sharing a warm hug with Disha’s close friend, actress Mouni Roy.

Who is Talwiinder? The Man Behind the Mask

For those outside the indie-Punjabi music circuit, Talwiinder has long been a figure of intrigue. Born in Tarn Taran, Punjab, and raised partly in the San Francisco Bay Area, the 28-year-old artist has carved a niche with his unique fusion of Punjabi folk, R&B, and electronic beats.

Dhundhala (with Yashraj)

Talwiinder is famous for his "masked" persona, often appearing with skull face paint or heavy masks. In past interviews, he has stated that he hides his face because he wants listeners to connect with the emotion of his music rather than his physical identity.

The Accident: The Leaked Face-Reveal

The most explosive part of this timeline happened in Udaipur. While Talwiinder has spent years meticulously guarding his privacy, a "leaked" clip from the wedding functions seemingly caught him off-guard. In the video, which went viral on Reddit and Instagram, the singer is seen standing unmasked, sharing a lighthearted moment with guests.

#How Fans Reacted:

The "unmasking" has divided the internet. While some fans were thrilled to finally see the face behind hits like Haseen, others felt it was an invasive breach of his artistic choice. On social media, fans commented:

"Disha upgraded big time! They look so cute together."

"Is this really Talwiinder? He has such a great smile, why hide it?"

"Let the man have his privacy. He chooses the mask for a reason."

The Mumbai Reception: A Game of Hide-and-Seek

The intrigue followed the duo back to Mumbai for the Nupur-Stebin wedding reception. While Disha posed for the cameras in a red backless gown, Talwiinder was seen entering separately, wearing a black mask and actively dodging the paparazzi.

Despite their best efforts to avoid a joint photo-op, the two were later caught by cameras leaving the venue in the same car. Seated in the back seat together, Talwiinder once again shielded his face, further fueling speculation that they are indeed the industry's newest couple.

Past Relationships and Public Silence

Disha Patani’s dating life has been a subject of intense scrutiny since her reported breakup with Tiger Shroff in 2022. While she was briefly linked to model Aleksandar Alex Ilic, the recent frequency of her appearances with Talwiinder—including a rumored New Year's trip to Goa where she was seen in a car with a "mystery man"—suggests a much deeper connection.

As of now, neither Disha nor Talwiinder has officially confirmed their relationship. However, in the world of Bollywood, a shared car ride and a hand-held walk at a family wedding often speak louder than a formal press release.
