On September 17, 2025, Mumbai’s NMACC dazzled at the premiere of Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Bastards of Bollywood, a Netflix series backed by Red Chillies Entertainment. While Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri, Suhana, and AbRam stole the spotlight, Brazilian model-actress Larissa Bonesi’s stunning appearance in a black off-shoulder gown fueled persistent dating rumours with Aryan. Their coordinated all-black looks and her vocal support for his project have set social media ablaze, with fans speculating if Bollywood’s heir apparent has found his match in this cross-cultural star.
From São Paulo to Bollywood’s Spotlight
Born March 28, 1994, in Brazil, Larissa Bonesi moved to Mumbai in 2011, transitioning from modeling to acting. The 31-year-old debuted in Bollywood with Go Goa Gone (2013), a zombie comedy alongside Saif Ali Khan, marking her entry into India’s ₹101 billion cinema industry. She gained traction in Telugu cinema with Thikka (2016) opposite Sundeep Kishan and starred in the Hindi thriller Penthouse (2019). Her recent role in the 2025 action-comedy Ghaati with Sai Dharam Tej showcased her fierce charisma. Beyond films, Larissa’s allure shines in music videos for Yo Yo Honey Singh (Loca) and Stebin Ben, plus Olay campaigns. Despite losing her father in 2021, she draws strength from her mother, Renata, and her pet dog Chole, whose Instagram Aryan reportedly follows. With 1.2 million Instagram followers, she blends Brazilian vibrancy with Indian appeal.
The Aryan Khan Romance Buzz
Rumours of Larissa and Aryan’s romance sparked in 2023 when fans noticed mutual Instagram follows, with Aryan liking her posts and the Khans engaging with her content. Sightings escalated in 2024—a concert, a party in matching denim jackets, and a New Year’s Eve 2025 bash where Larissa shimmered in a pink mini-dress beside Aryan’s navy-and-black ensemble. Reports suggest Aryan gifted Renata a custom D’yavol X item for her birthday, hinting at familial ties. At the Bastards premiere, Larissa’s Instagram Stories gushed, “Unstoppable, unmatched,” earning nods from Karan Johar. X users buzzed, “Larissa and Aryan are Bollywood’s next big thing,” while Reddit threads dissected cousin Alia Chibba’s posts featuring Larissa’s puppies. Neither has confirmed, keeping Aryan’s low-key vibe post his 2021 NCB ordeal.
A Bollywood Love Story in the Making?
As The Bastards of Bollywood streams on Netflix, Larissa’s presence among Bollywood royalty fuels speculation. Fans on X call them “endgame,” though skeptics question her motives. Will they step out as a couple, or keep it subtle? For now, Larissa’s talent and Aryan’s vision make this rumour a captivating Bollywood saga.
