Zoya Hussain has addressed the much-discussed relationship rumours surrounding her and Jim Sarbh. Their on-screen chemistry first grabbed attention in Prateek Kuhad's 2018 music video 'Cold/Mess' and continued to intrigue audiences with their collaboration in 'Into the Night' the following year. Despite speculation about their real-life romance, neither Zoya nor Jim had confirmed or denied the claims. However, in a recent interview Zoya clarified that they are 'very close.'
When questioned about her relationship with Jim, Zoya Hussain told News18, "It's personal. It's my personal life. I'm not aware of what's written about me, so I don't know what to say. It's true that Jim and I are very good friends. It's also true that we're very close."
For the unversed, in the music video for 'Cold/Mess,' both Zoya and Jim portrayed a volatile couple grappling with the challenges in their relationship. Despite this, Zoya and Jim have never collaborated on a film together.

This project is prominently featured on Zoya's Instagram, which was a rare stance in an industry where a strong social media presence is often deemed crucial for visibility and career advancement.
