Actor-dancer Nora Fatehi has publicly reacted to renewed speculation about her alleged relationship with T-Series Chairman and Managing Director Bhushan Kumar after a five-year-old Reddit post resurfaced on TikTok. The incident has drawn attention to the role of social media in reviving past rumors and the broader issue of online gossip affecting public figures. The post, which originally questioned Fatehi’s lifestyle and connections, recently gained popularity after being featured in a TikTok video, prompting Fatehi to break her silence.

The TikTok in question displayed a screenshot of the original Reddit post, which speculated on how Nora could afford “the bag, the outfit, the car, and the confidence.” The post suggested a link between Fatehi’s success and her alleged relationship with Bhushan Kumar, a claim that had previously circulated on online forums. Although this claim was largely rejected at the time, its revival has sparked a new round of debate.

In response, Fatehi left a comment on the TikTok video, simply writing “Wow” along with a laughing emoji. This brief response marked one of the rare occasions when he publicly acknowledged such rumors, and his comment quickly attracted discussion on both the Reddit and TikTok platforms.

One Redditor, seeing the impact of her response, joked, “Lmfao why did she still comment, it’s more about getting attention than it is about her establishing herself,” highlighting the possibility of increased scrutiny as a result of direct engagement with gossip. As other users reflected on the situation, the comments poured in.

Another Reddit user criticized the widespread trend of sharing unverified information, saying, “It’s very careless to spread things from a Reddit sub, based only on pure gossip, to a platform like TikTok where people will actually believe what they hear and see. It’s damaging to reputations for a few views and likes.” This response underlined concerns about the responsibility of content creators and viewers in spreading potentially harmful rumors.

Bhushan Kumar, who married actor-filmmaker Divya Khosla in 2005 and had a son in 2011, has not commented on the recent resurgence of affair allegations. The revival of the Reddit post comes at a time when both Fatehi and Kumar have maintained professional silence about their personal lives, and the public’s attention is focused on their respective careers.

The renewed discussion also coincides with new speculation about Fatehi’s personal life, after rumors linking her to Moroccan footballer Achraf Hakimi surfaced after her social media content interacted with him. Despite such speculation, Fatehi has primarily used his platforms to promote his professional projects and share updates with fans.

Fatehi’s recent professional activities include her appearance in the 2025 film Uff this Siyapa and song Dilbar’s eyes From Thamma. She is set to act in an upcoming Kannada film KD: Devil and tamil movie Kanchana 4. Additionally, Fatehi has participated in several high-profile music videos, collaborating with artists such as Jason Derulo, Shreya Ghoshal, Revanni, Yo Yo Honey Singh and Shenseea.
