The internet was ablaze with rumors of the two dating after a paparazzo shared a video of Aamir Ali kissing Shamita Shetty while bidding her off. While Shetty dispelled the rumors on her Instagram account, actor Aamir Ali finally spoke out about the rumors of their romance on Wednesday. Aamir released a video on Twitter that hinted at Shamita. Aamir claimed to have "escorted her to her car as a close friend.
In the video posted, Aamir was heard saying, “Hi! I don’t know what to say. Being a gentleman is a quality I've learned from my mother. I often leave anyone who is coming home at the door. I led a friend of mine who was present to her vehicle. When I was just being a friend, it changed. We are not dating. She and I are both single. We are just very very close friends and that’s about it. That’s about it. One more thing. I have heard that when a guest comes over to meet Shah Rukh Khan even he escorts them to the door. That is fine, but when I did, just saying)”
Shamita Shetty was seen leaving a restaurant in the video that the pap uploaded. Along with entering, Aamir Ali grabbed her and led her to her car. Ali gave her a cheek kiss as they said their goodbyes and the two hugged as she left. As a result, relationship rumours started to circulate about the two.
After they first met on Bigg Boss OTT, Shamita started dating Raqesh Bapat last year. But in July 2022, they split up. Actress Sanjeeda Sheikh and Aamir were previously married. They exchanged vows in March 2012, and they divorced in 2021.
