Punjabi independent music artiste Talwiinder had never imagined that he would be thrust into the Bollywood limelight until his name got linked with that of actor Disha Patani. The buzz started when a video from a recent wedding in Udaipur emerged, showing the two standing together, holding hands. In no time, the clip went viral on social media, sparking general interest in the low-profile musician.
How the speculation started
The viral moment reportedly comes from the wedding celebrations of Nupur Sanon, sister of actor Kriti Sanon and singer Stebin Ben. Talwiinder and Disha were spotted together at the event, and the brief public appearance was enough to trigger dating speculations. Neither of them has responded to the chatter so far, but the visuals have kept social media abuzz.

Who is Talwiinder?
Talwiinder is a singer, songwriter and producer born as Talwinder Singh Sidhu who has steadily built a name in India's independent music space. He is from Tarn Taran in Punjab and spent a part of his early life in the San Francisco Bay Area. That cross-cultural upbringing is strongly in his sound, which blends Punjabi lyrics with R&B, hip-hop, and electronic pop influences.
Talwiinder has long been an artist not just for his music but because he preferred flying under the radar. In fact, for a very long period, he performed with face paint or masks that kept his identity hidden from the public on purpose. This directed the spotlight directly into the music itself and maintained a sort of mystery that made him relatable to the audience.

His hits include Dhundhala, Khayaal, Pal Pal, Haseen, Funk Song, and the viral Kammo Ji. Though he keeps himself away from mainstream Bollywood projects, he has performed at the biggest festivals and has even opened for international pop sensation Dua Lipa during her performance at the Zomaland Festival in Mumbai.
All the rumours about Talwiinder and Disha Patani are unconfirmed. As of now, gossips are running riot online. Though in the past, Disha had been speculated about her long-time close friend and actor, Tiger Shroff. Coming to the professional front, Welcome to the Jungle and O Romeo are some of her upcoming movies.
