As Triptii Dimri's new film "Dhadak 2" hits theaters on August 1, 2025, her rumored boyfriend, Sam Merchant, is publicly showing his support, capturing the attention of fans and further fueling relationship speculation. A special screening of "Dhadak 2" was held on July 31, drawing attention not only for the film itself but also for Merchant's presence.
Merchant, a model-turned-entrepreneur, has been linked to Dimri for some time, and their recent activities have only intensified the rumors. While neither Dimri nor Merchant have officially confirmed their relationship, their frequent public appearances and social media interactions have kept fans guessing.
At the special screening, Merchant shared a video of the movie's end credits, featuring the audience applauding enthusiastically. He tagged Dimri and added three red heart emojis, a gesture that didn't go unnoticed by fans. He also posted candid moments of Dimri inside the cinema hall and a promotional shot of the film's poster, making it clear that he is supporting her latest release. Adding a personal touch to the evening, Merchant took to social media to share glimpses of the audience's lively reaction to the film. One image captured Dimri interacting with the audience, while Merchant filmed the moment.
Dimri also shared glimpses from the screening night through her Instagram stories, including a group selfie with Merchant and friends.
"Dhadak 2" serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2018 film "Dhadak" and is a remake of the Tamil movie "Pariyerum Perumal". The film explores themes of love, caste, and resistance within a contemporary romance. Dimri stars alongside Siddhant Chaturvedi, with the cast also including Zakir Hussain and Saurabh Sachdeva.
Dimri's career has been on a remarkable trajectory. After facing initial rejections, her talent shone through, and her role in "Animal" brought her immense popularity. She has also starred in films like "Laila Majnu", "Bulbbul", and "Qala". In addition to "Dhadak 2", she is working with Vishal Bhardwaj on an upcoming project and has several other films in the pipeline.
Amidst the buzz surrounding "Dhadak 2" and Dimri's professional success, her personal life continues to generate interest. Prior to being linked to Merchant, she was rumored to be in a relationship with Karnesh Ssharma, Anushka Sharma's brother, though neither confirmed it. Dimri and Merchant have sparked speculation with vacations in Goa and sightings in similar locations. For example, both shared photos of picturesque landscapes and sunsets that looked like they were taken at the same spot.
