"The way he pushed her to protect himself."
Dating rumours between Ibrahim Ali Khan and Palak Tiwari have refused to die down, and a new viral video has sent the internet into a complete frenzy.
The rumoured couple was spotted exiting a cinema hall in Mumbai when paparazzi waiting outside quickly turned their cameras on them.
What followed was a moment that has since been dissected, debated and shared extensively across every major social media platform online.
Ibrahim stepped out first and, upon noticing the photographers, appeared to nudge Palak to remain behind him as they exited.
The video shows him walking out of the multiplex while talking on his phone, seemingly unaware of just how many cameras were waiting outside.
As the paparazzi crowded around to photograph him, Palak attempted to step out alongside him at the same moment.
However, Ibrahim appeared to push her back inside the cinema hall in what looked like an attempt to keep her away from the cameras.
Despite his apparent efforts, the paparazzi were quick to catch on and followed the action inside the premises without hesitation.
They managed to capture Palak standing on the staircase inside the building, making the entire attempt at discretion completely ineffective.
Palak was subsequently seen laughing in an embarrassed manner before eventually taking a different exit.
The video quickly caught significant attention on social media and drew a wave of reactions.
Social media personality Orry, who has previously been open about his relationship with Ibrahim and Sara Ali Khan turning sour, added his own pointed take.
He wrote: “The way he pushed her to protect himself from being seen with her.”
Reactions from regular social media users were equally strong.
A user questioned: “Why is he hiding her????”
Another commented: “If he cannot respect her in front of the media, he should not push her like this.”

The speculation surrounding Ibrahim and Palak is far from new, having first taken root back in December 2022.
A source had subsequently told that the two had been in a relationship for some time.
“Ibrahim and Palak have found a happy place with each other, and are dating.
“They like to spend time with each other. However, they want to keep their private lives out of the public eye.”
Despite that insider account, both Ibrahim and Palak have consistently maintained a carefully vague public stance.
In an interview, Ibrahim was asked directly if he could talk about “a certain Miss Palak Tiwari” and what their relationship actually was.
He kept his answer deliberately short, saying: “She’s a good friend. Yeah, she’s sweet. That’s all.”
Palak Tiwari has similarly maintained in her own interviews that the two are just friends.
The two have been spotted together on numerous occasions in public.
Rumours have also circulated about their shared vacations in the Maldives and Goa.
Whether the cinema hall incident will prompt either of them to finally address the relationship question more directly remains to be seen.
