Stebin Ben Shuts Down Dating Rumours With Nupur Sanon, Confirms He's Single
Last Updated:
Stebin Ben clarified he is single, dispelling rumors of a relationship with Nupur Sanon. He cited his busy schedule as the reason for not pursuing love currently.
Nope, Stebin Ben and Nupur Sanon aren't a thing. While gossip mills have been churning for a while now, linking the soulful singer with Kriti Sanon's sister, Stebin has finally cleared the air, and sorry to burst your bubble—he's totally single.
When asked by Hindustan Times if he's still riding solo, Stebin smiled and gave a straightforward nod followed by a simple, 'Yes." That's that. And before you assume there's drama, there's none. Stebin is just swamped with work, and love's taken a back seat for now.
'As an artist, it is very difficult for me right now to really take out time for a relationship. When you're on the road for 25 days out of 30 in a month, you really don't have time to focus on anything else but the road," he shared.
'Me and Nupur have an amazing equation. We are really very close to each other. I've spent a lot of time with her, and I don't think I have that kind of bond with anyone else," he added while adding that his work prevents him from entering into a relationship.
That said, Stebin isn't totally shutting the door on love. While he's single for now, he's not ruling out the idea of a relationship sometime down the road.
'Who knows what will happen in the future? I'm talking about the present, and right now, I'm not getting any time for a relationship. And that's the only reason, to be honest. Waqt waqt ki baat hai. If I get the time, maybe I'll be able to give that time to this as well. For now, I think music is my priority. When I feel I've achieved everything I want to, maybe things will settle then," he claimed.
'You have to understand life as well. Yahan bus chhuti ja rahi hai, train chhuti ja rahi hai, and in all this running around, how do you expect to truly hold on to someone? Right now, I'm travelling, living out of rooms—one hotel after another. Today I'm in one city, tomorrow I'll be somewhere else. And right now, I want to focus on just this," Stebin concluded.
The buzz around Stebin and Nupur being more than friends kicked off back in 2022, all thanks to their cozy-looking Instagram posts that got fans speculating. But despite the chatter, both of them have always said they're just really good friends.
