The Bollywood and music industry is celebrating a new power couple as model-actress Nupur Sanon and popular singer Stebin Ben have officially tied the knot. Their journey, which captivated fans for years, transitioned from rumoured friendship to a confirmed romantic saga, culminating in a lavish wedding ceremony in Udaipur. Here's an inside look at how their story unfolded, from their first meeting to the final wedding bells.
The Foundation: A Bond Forged in Music
Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben's connection has its roots in the creative world. They initially crossed paths at various industry events and through mutual musical projects. A shared passion for music sparked an instant rapport, leading to collaborations where their comfort and camaraderie were evident to all. For a long time, they presented themselves as the closest of friends, with any romantic speculation being firmly dismissed. Reports from publications like Hindustan Times indicate that this period of deep friendship, built on mutual support for each other's careers, ultimately became the solid bedrock for their lasting relationship.
Rumours, Denials, and the Paparazzi Spotlight
By 2022, the nature of their bond became a topic of intense public curiosity. Cozy pictures on their social media handles, coupled with frequent joint appearances at Diwali celebrations, Christmas parties, and family dinners—often with Nupur's sister, Kriti Sanon—fuelled dating rumours. Despite constant paparazzi attention, the duo maintained a steadfast 'just friends' narrative for nearly three years. In a 2025 interview, Stebin Ben even told Hindustan Times he was not dating anyone, though he admitted to sharing a unique and amazing bond with Nupur that he didn't have with anyone else. This phase of public speculation, as per a Bollywood Shaadi report, masked a relationship that had reportedly begun in 2023, carefully kept away from the media glare.
The Dreamy Proposal and Grand Udaipur Wedding
The couple finally ended all speculation on January 3, 2026, by announcing their engagement. Stebin proposed in a romantic, dreamy setting, going down on one knee. Nupur shared the magical moment on Instagram, showcasing a stunning four-carat marquise-cut diamond ring. Her emotional caption read, "In a world full of maybes, I found the easiest YES I've ever had to say." The news brought tears of joy to her sister Kriti.
Following the engagement, reports quickly emerged of a grand wedding planned at the luxurious Fairmont Udaipur Palace. Sources suggested the celebrations would occur between January 8 and January 11, 2026. The events lived up to the hype, starting with a vibrant Haldi ceremony. Nupur glowed in a bright yellow and white lehenga, while Stebin complemented her in a matching kurta. The festivities reached a high point with a star-studded Sangeet night. Kriti and Nupur performed to "Sajnaji Vari Vari," and Kriti later shared a poignant solo performance of "Dil Tu Jaan Tu," creating unforgettable emotional moments amidst the high-energy celebrations.
This beautiful journey, which began with shared melodies, has now found its perfect harmony in marriage, marking the start of Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben's "forever" chapter together.
