Talwiinder addresses dating rumours with Disha Patani
Now, Talwiinder has finally spoken about the speculation surrounding his equation with Disha. During the interview in The Hollywood Reporter India, the musician commented on the chatter as he decided to keep things low profile.

He said that neither of them wants to give in to the pressure created by rumours and public expectations. They are, as he says, still finding themselves and working it out, and he does not want to go any further with it, but to name it.
Although he did not affirm to a relationship the singer made a very candid and poetic statement about love. He said that he falls in love every day and said that he felt that he was falling in love.. At the same time, he clarified that he does not want to feed into speculation and would rather let rumours remain rumours.
Viral moments and growing curiosity
One particular video that grabbed widespread attention showed Disha Patani and Talwiinder standing together, chatting and laughing while holding hands. Talwinder is reputed to cover half his face in front of people when making an appearance and when performing in front of an audience; he was spotted walking around with Disha speaking with Suraj Nambiar. The clip quickly circulated online, with fans dissecting every detail of their body language.
Talwiinder is known for being extremely private about his personal life. To hide his identity, he frequently covers his face with paint when performing concerts so that his music will be in the focus rather than his face. This makes his frequent public sightings with Disha even more intriguing for fans.
