Actress Triptii Dimri once again set social media buzzing after being spotted at the Mumbai airport on Sunday. The Dhadak 2 star was dropped off by her rumoured boyfriend, businessman Sam Merchant, sparking fresh speculation about their relationship status. Sam arrived in style in his sleek blue Porsche, and unlike their previous low-key appearances, he did not shy away from the cameras this time. He stepped out of the car, helped Triptii with her luggage, and even shared a warm smile with her before they said their goodbyes. As she walked into the airport, Triptii paused to wave at him, a gesture that didn’t go unnoticed by paparazzi.
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time the pair have been seen together. Triptii and Sam were earlier spotted at the special screening of Dhadak 2, where Sam was photographed alongside the actor. He even promoted the film by sharing a picture of its poster on his social media, adding more fuel to the dating rumours. In December last year, the two were seen riding a bike together, although Triptii kept her face covered with a mask and seemed reluctant to be photographed. A few months before that, in August, the duo were spotted enjoying a dinner outing at Pali Bhavan, further fuelling buzz about their romance.

Reportedly, Triptii’s connection with Sam began after her rumoured breakup with Karnesh Ssharma, actor-producer and brother of Anushka Sharma. In December 2022, reports claimed that Triptii and Karnesh had gone their separate ways. Since then, her increasing appearances with Sam have only heightened curiosity about whether the two are officially dating.
Who Is Sam Merchant?
Meanwhile, Sam Merchant is a distinguished hotelier, established Casa Water, a luxury VIP accommodation, and Avoure Goa. Prior to his success in hospitality, Merchant had a thriving career as a model, seamlessly integrating his sense of style with sharp business insight.
Triptii Dimri’s Professional Front
While her personal life continues to make headlines, Triptii’s professional journey has also been in the spotlight. Her most recent film, Dhadak 2, opposite Siddhant Chaturvedi, was well received by both audiences and critics. With her growing popularity and back-to-back successful projects, the actor has quickly become one of Bollywood’s most talked-about rising stars. As for her relationship status, neither Triptii nor Sam has confirmed anything yet.
