Who is Rahul Vijay?
Rahul Vijay is a well-known figure in the fashion industry. He completed his graduation in fashion design and has built a successful career as a fashion stylist and creative consultant. Rahul began his career as an intern at Harper’s Bazaar India in 2011, eventually becoming the fashion editor. He later worked as the Senior Fashion Editor for both ELLE India and GQ India.
In 2021, he left the publishing industry to work independently. Rahul is also one of the three Creative Directors for Lakme Fashion Week and freelancers for various design houses, celebrities, and brands, including Tarun Tahiliani and Shahab Durazi.
Rahul has worked with several Bollywood stars, including Sara Ali Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Athiya Shetty, and Varun Dhawan, and has also styled Malaika Arora’s ex, Arjun Kapoor, on multiple occasions. He is well-connected in the fashion world and has styled celebrities such as Vedang Raina, Ahaan Shetty, and Arhaan Khan.
Despite the growing speculation, a source close to Malaika has dismissed the dating rumours, calling them “ridiculous and bizarre.” The insider clarified that Malaika is “happily single” and not dating anyone. The source also explained that Rahul Vijay is simply a stylist and a friend of Malaika’s son, Arhaan Khan and that the photo shared by Rahul is a reflection of their “simple friendship.”
