Speaking on the Pinkvilla podcast, Sorab explained that his friendship with Malaika dates back several years to his early modelling days.
He said their paths first crossed through common friends in the fashion and entertainment circuit. Since they moved in similar social circles, they often attended the same parties and events.
Sorab explained, “During my modelling days, Malaika was close friends with people who used to give me shows. That’s how I got to know her. I used to attend parties, and Malaika would be there too. We’ve been partying together since then, so this is nothing new. I had posted similar photos and videos earlier as well, but back then I wasn’t as famous, so people didn’t really notice.”
According to him, the recent attention mainly comes from his rising popularity after appearing on MTV Splitsvilla.
Sorab is an Indian actor and model who is currently gaining recognition through the reality show ‘MTV Splitsvilla X6’. On the programme, he earned the playful nickname ‘Rajma-Chawal Boy’, a label that quickly caught viewers’ attention.
When Sorab first entered the show, he did not connect with any contestant. However, as the episodes progressed, he developed a strong on-screen partnership with fellow contestant Niharika, who is among the leading participants this season.
Not just that, the duo recently went viral on social media after a video of them started circulating online. Viewers quickly noticed their natural chemistry in the clip, which features the popular Haryanvi track ‘Sheesha’. Many fans have since begun associating the song with Sorab, with several viewers even dedicating it to him while sharing edits and reels.

Apart from reality shows, Sorab has also appeared in a few television dramas. He featured in shows such as ‘Chand Jalne Laga’ and ‘Dilwali Dulha Le Jayengi’, gradually building a portfolio in the entertainment industry.
Sorab was born in India into a Punjabi Sikh family. Growing up, he developed an interest in fashion, performance and fitness. He has often said that Punjabi culture played a key role in shaping his personality, instilling discipline, confidence, and strong values from an early age.
While he completed his schooling in India, Sorab chose to focus more on practical training rather than traditional academic routes. He invested time in acting workshops, grooming sessions and fitness training to prepare himself for modelling and television.

In an earlier interview, Sorab revealed that he had been in a relationship for nine years. He maintained that he never tried to hide the relationship and even introduced his former partner to friends and acquaintances.
However, his ex-girlfriend later claimed on social media that he ended the relationship after joining ‘MTV Splitsvilla X6’. Sorab has denied the allegation, stating that they brokeup before he became part of the reality show.
