Reacting to the speculation, Isha took to Instagram on Tuesday and made it clear that the rumours were baseless. She expressed surprise that such news had spread without her knowledge and urged fans and media outlets to verify facts before posting.


“What is wrong with the media pages? Kindly stop spreading fake news guys, movie tak baat pahuch gayi aur mujhe hi nahi pata,” she wrote in her Instagram Story, putting an end to the chatter.



Saiyaara’s box office storm

While Isha clarified her non-involvement, Saiyaara continues to dominate the box office. The romantic drama crossed Rs 300 crore in India within just two weeks and has grossed over Rs 500 crore worldwide. It also set the record for the highest-grossing opening day for a debutant-led Bollywood film, cementing its place as one of the year’s biggest hits.

Isha Malviya’s latest projects

On the work front, Isha’s recent music video Shaky by Sanju Rathod has gone viral, amassing millions of views across platforms. The catchy Marathi track and its signature dance step have made it a trending hit. Before this, she featured alongside Gauahar Khan in Dreamiyata’s Lovely Lolla.



Isha’s stint on Bigg Boss 17 was packed with drama, largely revolving around her relationships with co-contestants Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel. Initially denying being with Samarth, tensions rose when he entered as a wildcard, especially with Abhishek, her ex-boyfriend, whom she had accused of physical abuse. The love triangle led to multiple confrontations, including a notorious fight where Abhishek slapped Samarth, resulting in his temporary eviction. Meabwhile, 'Saiyaara' received good reviews from the audiences.
