The video, reportedly filmed during one of the wedding events, shows Disha and Talwiinder chatting and laughing while interacting with Mouni Roy’s husband, businessman Suraj Nambiar. Fans were quick to speculate about their equation, with many wondering if a new celebrity pairing is in the making. However, both Disha Patani and Talwiinder have remained silent, keeping the rumours firmly in the realm of speculation.



As curiosity around the viral moment grows, many are asking a simple question: who exactly is Talwiinder?

Who is Talwiinder?

Talwiinder Singh Sidhu, known professionally as Talwiinder, is a Punjabi singer, songwriter, and music producer who has steadily built a name for himself in India’s independent music space. Born in November 1997 in Tarn Taran, Punjab, Talwiinder has carved out a unique identity—one that relies more on sound than spectacle. Unlike most artists, he is rarely seen without face paint and deliberately avoids revealing his face in public appearances.

In a 2025 interview with The Indian Express, Talwiinder explained that his decision to remain visually anonymous was never about hiding his identity. Instead, he said the intention was to redirect attention toward the music itself. According to the singer, the face paint helps strip away ego and distractions, reminding both the audience and the artist that the art should matter more than the person behind it.

Talwiinder began his musical journey by uploading songs and covers on platforms such as SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube. Early uploads included covers like Phir Mohabbat and Paani Diyaan Challan, which helped him find an initial audience. His breakthrough came with original tracks, gradually earning him a loyal fanbase.

By 2022, songs like Kammo Ji, Dhundhala, and Funk Song had brought him wider recognition. Funk Song, in particular, gained massive traction on Instagram Reels, introducing his music to a younger digital audience. In October 2024, Talwiinder released his debut album Misfit, featuring 13 tracks and collaborations with multiple artists. The album was released under Mass Appeal India, a subsidiary of the global label founded by rapper Nas, marking a major milestone in his career.

In 2023, he has also collaborated with Pakistani singer-songwriter Hasan Raheem on tracks such as Wishes and Tera Chehra. Wishes, despite its 2023 release, became the second most-streamed song on Spotify.

Meanwhile, Disha Patani was last seen in the Tamil epic fantasy film Kanguva, directed by Siva. Despite high expectations, the film failed to make a strong impact at the box office. As of now, both Disha and Talwiinder remain focused on their respective careers.
