Bollywood Star Bhumi Pednekar Spotted with Aditya Thackeray at Mumbai Restaurant!

In India, it’s impossible to separate politics and cinema; both wield significant influence over society. Over the years, several children of political leaders have fallen in love with popular actors and actresses, eventually marrying them. From the black-and-white era to today, many stars have chosen this path. Recently, gossip suggests a new couple may be joining this list.

Bollywood’s love stories with politicians include Parineeti Chopra – AAP MP Raghav Chadha, Swara Bhaskar – Samajwadi Party leader Fahad Jiraar Ahmed, Ayesha Takia – Samajwadi Party leader Farhan Azmi, Navneet Kaur – MLA Ravi Rana, Kumaraswamy – Radhika, and others. Following this trend, Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray’s son Aditya Thackeray are reportedly in the spotlight.

Bhumi Pednekar entered Bollywood in 2015 with ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ and has since acted in ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’, ‘Lust Stories’, ‘Bala’, ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’, ‘Bhoot’, ‘Durgamati’, ‘Raksha Bandhan’, ‘Govind Naam Mera’, ‘Bheed’, ‘Thank You for Coming’, ‘The Lady Killer’, ‘Badhshak’, ‘Khel Khel Mein’, ‘Mere Husband Ki Bewah’ and more. She is recognized for her performances in content-driven films as well as glamorous roles. Bhumi is also an environmental activist and a member of the Young Global Leaders community under the World Economic Forum.

Aditya Thackeray, heir of the Thackeray family, entered politics as the youth leader of Shiv Sena. He won the 2019 Assembly elections from Worli constituency and served as a minister in Uddhav Thackeray’s Maha Vikas Aghadi government. He was re-elected in 2024 and currently serves as the legislative party leader for Shiv Sena (Uddhav Bal Thackeray faction). The 35-year-old is still unmarried, though there have been many speculations about his wedding.

Recently, Bhumi Pednekar and Aditya Thackeray were spotted together at a Mumbai restaurant. The photos and videos went viral, sparking discussions in both political and film circles. However, it was officially an event for Young Global Leaders members, with no confirmed romantic link between them.
