Actress Mahira Sharma has used social media to clear up the ongoing rumors about her alleged romantic affair with cricketer Mohammed Siraj. Bigg Boss 13 contestant and the one with much speculation, the actress categorically denied the rumors and explained the situation for her fans.
Clearing the Air on Instagram
On March 21, Mahira took to her Instagram Stories, posting a direct message to her fans: “Stop spreading rumours, I’m not dating anyone.” This statement came in response to the intense speculation about her relationship with Siraj, which had been circulating for some time. The rumours were further fueled after a teasing exchange with photographers in Mumbai, where Mahira was questioned about the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) and her preferred team.

The cricketer too spoke about the issue, asking paparazzi to desist from questioning him from people. On March 21, he put out a post on his Instagram Story: “I request paparazzi’s to stop asking questions around me. It is completely untrue and baseless. I hope this ends.” Siraj’s statement supported Mahira’s demand for an end to the rumours.
The Origins of the Rumours
The rumor mill surrounding Mahira and Siraj started a few months back, particularly after Siraj had liked one of Mahira’s Instagram posts and the two of them began following each other. A report from ETimes also indicated that the two were dating, based on people close to them. Nevertheless, Mahira has repeatedly refuted the claims, even responding to them in past interviews, where she stated, “There is nothing like this.”
Mahira Sharma, who rose to fame post Bigg Boss 13, was earlier dating Paras Chhabra but the two broke up in 2023.
