Disha Patani and Punjabi singer Talwiinder have officially put an end to weeks of dating speculation by making their first public appearance as a couple at Lollapalooza India in Mumbai. The duo turned heads on Sunday when they arrived at the music festival hand-in-hand, comfortably acknowledging the cameras and fans gathered at the venue. Videos of the two walking together quickly circulated online, with many calling it their long-awaited “official debut” as a couple.
Rumours about their relationship had been doing the rounds earlier this month after Disha and Talwiinder were spotted at Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben’s wedding celebrations in Udaipur. At the time, the pair appeared keen on keeping a low profile and avoided being photographed together. They were seen arriving separately and mingling with friends, fuelling curiosity but offering no confirmation.
Their Lollapalooza appearance, however, left little room for doubt. From openly holding hands to later leaving the venue together in the same car, the two made no attempt to shy away from attention, signalling a clear shift from private to public.
Talwiinder Singh Sidhu, who goes by the stage name Talwiinder, is a well-known name in the independent Punjabi music scene. Born in Tarn Taran, Punjab, and partly raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, the singer is known for blending Punjabi music with global influences like hip-hop, R&B, trap and synth-pop. He has also gained attention for performing with face paint, which he has previously described as a way to maintain a boundary between his personal and professional life.
Since releasing his first tracks in 2018, Talwiinder has built a loyal fanbase through platforms like Spotify and YouTube. Songs such as Gaah, Dhundhala, Khayaal, Nasha and Wishes, his collaboration with Hasan Raheem, have earned him widespread recognition. In 2024, he released his debut album Misfit, further cementing his reputation as a genre-bending artist. He has also performed at major events, opening for international stars like Dua Lipa and G-Eazy, and was part of the Lollapalooza India lineup.
