Arshi Khan Addresses Rumours About Her Relationship With Aftab Alam

Rumours about Arshi Khan and Afghan cricketer Aftab Alam have circulated for some time, with speculation suggesting that the two were romantically involved.

Arshi has now addressed those reports herself and offered a much simpler explanation for their relationship.

During a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, the Bigg Boss 11 contestant said that she knows Aftab and that they share a close friendship. However, she made it clear that the two are not heading towards marriage.

According to Arshi, Aftab is already married and has five children.

Arshi Says They Are Good Friends

Speaking about her equation with the Afghan cricketer, Arshi described their friendship as particularly close.

“Our relationship is very good, our friendship is amazing. Our friendship is similar to that of cousins.”

Arshi said she has known Aftab since 2020 and that they have remained friends since then.

Her comments directly address the speculation that had previously connected the two romantically.

She also explained why marriage is not a possibility between them, pointing out that Aftab is already married and has children.

“He is married and has five children,” she said.

The clarification puts the focus on friendship rather than the dating rumours that had surrounded them.

Arshi Khan Says She Gets Jealous When She Dates

While discussing relationships, Arshi also made a candid comment about her own personality when she is romantically involved with someone.

She said that she can become jealous when she dates someone.

The comment came while she was discussing her friendship with Aftab and the rumours surrounding their equation.

Her remarks suggest that although she values close friendships, she also recognises that romantic relationships bring a different set of emotions and expectations.

When Will Arshi Khan Get Married?

The conversation also turned towards Arshi’s own plans for marriage.

When asked when she would get married, the actor said she would prefer to keep the occasion private rather than make it a large public event.

According to Arshi, she would get married suddenly and quietly, without a major show.

That approach appears consistent with her desire to keep personal decisions away from unnecessary public attention.

For someone whose personal life has frequently been discussed online, a low-key wedding would certainly be a departure from the speculation that often surrounds celebrity relationships.

Arshi Khan and Aftab Alam Have Faced Dating Speculation

Arshi became widely known to television audiences after appearing on Bigg Boss 11. She has subsequently remained active in entertainment and has also been associated with film projects, including Trahiman.

Aftab Alam, meanwhile, is an Afghan cricketer who has represented Afghanistan in international cricket.

Their friendship attracted attention after rumours began suggesting that the two were dating.

Arshi’s latest comments, however, offer her own account of the relationship: they have known each other for years and remain good friends.

There is no indication from her comments that the two are planning to marry.

Aftab Alam’s International Cricket Career

Aftab Alam has represented Afghanistan in both ODIs and T20 internationals.

According to the career figures provided, the fast bowler has played 27 ODIs, taking 41 wickets, and 12 T20 internationals, taking 11 wickets.

He made his T20 international debut in 2012 and his last appearance in the format came in 2018. His final ODI appearance was in 2019.

Alam has been away from Afghanistan’s national side for several years.

Arshi’s Comments Put the Marriage Rumours to Rest

Arshi Khan’s comments provide a direct response to speculation that had connected her romantically with Aftab Alam.

Rather than confirming a relationship, she described him as a close friend and explained that their bond is more like that of cousins. She also pointed out that the cricketer is already married and has five children.

As for her own marriage plans, Arshi appears to prefer keeping things simple and private.

For now, the actor has made her position clear: the much-discussed equation with Aftab Alam is, according to her, a friendship—not a romance leading to marriage.
