Aryan Khan’s Rumoured Girlfriend Larissa Bonesi Flooded With Comments After Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Brazilian Model’ Remark
Brazilian model and actress Larissa Bonesi, rumoured to be dating Aryan Khan, has unexpectedly become the centre of a social media storm following Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent press conference on alleged “vote chori” in Haryana elections.
During the press briefing, Gandhi claimed that a photograph of a Brazilian model appeared multiple times across voter lists in the state, under Indian names like Seema, Sweety, and Saraswati. Soon after, social media users mistakenly identified the model as Larissa Bonesi, resulting in a flood of comments on her Instagram posts.
Social media reacts
Thousands of comments poured in, with users joking about Larissa being a “voter from Brazil” or sarcastically welcoming her to Indian politics. Popular remarks included “Rahul Gandhi ne famous kar diya” (Rahul Gandhi made you famous) and “Congratulations on Indian citizenship.” Memes and GIFs featuring Rahul Gandhi also circulated widely.
Despite the viral attention, Larissa Bonesi has not responded to the online buzz. The confusion originated due to another Brazilian model, Larissa Nery, who later clarified that she was the woman in Gandhi’s photograph. Nery shared screenshots from the press conference and posted a video explaining, “They are using an old photo of mine from when I was 18 or 20. I don’t know what this is about, but it’s crazy that they’re portraying me as an Indian.”
Who is Larissa Bonesi?
Larissa Bonesi has been active in the Indian entertainment industry for over a decade, featuring in films such as Go Goa Gone (2013), Thikka (2016), Rocket Raja (2017), and most recently Ghaati (2025). Over the past year, she has been in the spotlight due to her rumoured relationship with Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan. She was also seen at the launch of Aryan’s directorial debut The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, further fuelling dating speculation.
The incident underscores how quickly political remarks can ripple through social media, leading to misidentifications and viral trends.
