Further posts followed on February 8, 2025, when Sunaina shared a picture of Indian chaat and reposted a high-tea moment. Khalid mirrored her posts with identical images, all captured in Dubai, with one reportedly taken by him. These simultaneous posts sparked heightened public interest, with the 42-year-old influencer responding to Sunaina's uploads using emojis and GIFs.
