Personal Life

They met during a work trip to Shimla where he was producing a shoot she was involved in, and Sakshi has described him as her potential “life partner,” a caring individual who understands her well.

Career

Sakshi Malik’s early mainstream reach is closely tied to Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018), where her appearance in the film’s song “Bom Diggy Diggy” took off online and helped position her as a recognizable face beyond modeling circles.

After that visibility, she worked in advertising and modeling, including television commercials for brands such as Nykaa and PC Jeweller, while continuing to build a digital audience around fitness and lifestyle.

Her on-camera credits expanded through music-video appearances, including “Veham” (2020) and “Mulaqaat” (2023), and she later appeared in the film Dry Day (2023).

Alongside acting and modeling, she has leaned into influencer work at scale; by late 2023, she was described as having around seven million Instagram followers and using that platform to share workouts and training-driven content.

She has also spoken about pursuing acting training more seriously in the period after the pandemic and mentioned upcoming work in the OTT space.

Net Worth

Sakshi Malik’s estimated net worth is about $1.2 million, which is attributed to a mix of income streams: brand endorsements and paid promotions tied to her large social-media following, modeling and commercial shoots, and acting fees from film and music-video appearances.

Controversy

The most widely reported controversy connected to Malik centered on the alleged unauthorized use of her photograph in the 2020 Telugu film V. She approached the Bombay High Court, arguing that her image had been used in a defamatory context without her consent.

In March 2021, the court directed Amazon Prime Video to take down the film until the scene containing her image was removed. News reporting later described the matter moving toward settlement after the takedown order, with the dispute resolved after changes were made.
