Sohail Khan recently found himself in the spotlight when a video of him dining with a mystery woman went viral. The video, shared by a paparazzi account, led to a wave of speculation, with many assuming that the woman in question might be his new romantic interest. The buzz only grew when the account hinted that Khan was seen on a dinner date with his alleged girlfriend. However, the actor quickly set the record straight in an interview with Hindustan Times.

Addressing the rumors, Sohail Khan clarified, “No, it is not true. I am only answering you because you had the decency to question before assuming things. She is just an old friend of mine.” His straightforward response dismissed the gossip, emphasizing that the woman he was spotted with is merely a long-time friend, not a romantic partner.

This renewed focus on Sohail Khan's personal life comes after his highly publicized divorce from Seema Sajdeh. The couple, who had been married for 24 years, decided to part ways in 2022. The two had been living separately for some time before making their divorce official. Sohail and Seema's love story began in the late 1990s, with the pair tying the knot in 1998. Over the years, they became parents to two children, Nirvaan and Yohan.

Seema Sajdeh, a stylist and designer, gained further attention through her appearance on Netflix’s Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, where she opened up about her separation from Sohail in season two. Reflecting on relationships in an interview, Sohail shared, "Till when it lasts, and till when you’re happy together, keep the relationship going, don’t make it sour. Everything comes with an expiry." His comments indicate his belief in moving on amicably when relationships no longer bring happiness.

While Sohail Khan has been relatively absent from the big screen in recent years, he made a brief appearance in his brother Salman Khan’s film Dabangg 3 and also co-hosted a segment on Bigg Boss alongside his brother Arbaaz Khan.
