Zoya Hussain and Jim Sarbh first shared screen space in Prateek Kuhad's Cold/Mess music video, which was released in 2018, and followed it up with Into the Night a year later. Soon, they struck up a friendship and, according to the grapevine, the duo began dating in early 2022. While they have remained tight-lipped about their equation, the duo was recently spotted making a stylish first appearance together at The Odyssey Mumbai premiere.
Jim Sarbh and Zoya Hussain turned heads as they arrived together at The Odyssey premiere, marking what appears to be their first public appearance amid ongoing dating rumours. Coordinating in elegant black ensembles, the duo happily posed for the cameras. While neither Jim nor Zoya has addressed the rumours, their red carpet outing has left fans wondering if this was their way of making things official.
Jim Sarbh and Zoya Hussain kept it effortlessly elegant as they made a stylish appearance at the premiere. Twinning in black, Jim opted for a sleek velvet suit, adding a statement gold brooch that elevated the look. Zoya complemented him in a shimmering sleeveless black midi dress featuring a high neckline, paired with minimal accessories.
Rumours about them dating began in 2022 after Hindustan Times reported, "The two have been going out quite often of late. Jim was last known to be dating a lawyer, but that was three to four months back. Now he is often seen with Zoya. It's new, but the two are not shying away from holding hands at parties and social gatherings. Clearly, something is brewing between them."
Zoya later commented on the relationship in an interview with News18 and shared, "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."
On the work front, Jim was last seen in Made in India: The Titan Story, which chronicles the story of the popular watch brand in India. He was also a part of Inspector Zende alongside Manoj Bajpayee. Notably, Zoya shared screen space with Manoj in Bhaiyya Ji.
