Rish Shah is one of many young emerging stars in Hollywood, but while he captivates audiences onscreen, the British-born actor keeps a lid on his personal life, particularly his love life.

Born and raised in North London, Rish Shah's entrance into the film and TV industry is relatively recent. He first appeared onscreen in the 2017 thriller mini-series, "PrankMe." About a two-year hiatus followed before he returned for minor roles in "Years and Years" and "Doctors."

He remained committed to building his resume from 2020 onwards, and it was only a short time before high-profile gigs began rolling in. In 2021, he played Ravi in the final installment of the rom-com film series "To All the Boys: Always and Forever."

He then starred in "India Sweets and Spices" before winning his breakout role as Kamran in "Ms. Marvel." Shah plays Kamala Khan's love interest, the main character portrayed by Iman Vellani.

The two young actors instantly clicked when they did their first chemistry read and successfully transmuted that connection onscreen. But while his onscreen romance with the superhero seems promising, little can be said about his love life away from the cameras.

Rish Shah's Girlfriend: The Young Star Appears to Be Single

Shah hasn't spoken publicly about his love life. Despite having a social media presence, he shares little about his life beyond his career. And looking at his social media pages, his content is primarily work-related.

There were no signs of a current romance at the time of writing. But it is unknown whether Shah is romantically involved with anyone; he likely prefers to keep his relationships away from the spotlight.

Shah's character, Kamran, is the new boy at Kamala's school, and the teenage superhero is immediately smitten when she sees him for the first time. The unfolding of their romance, as portrayed by Shah and Vellani, is something audiences have thoroughly enjoyed.

Fan-edited videos of the actors' interactions off-screen are also floating around the internet, with netizens calling for another project starring them. Alongside one fan edit, one person tweeted, "need iman vellani and rish shah in another project together so bad. (sic)"

Another shared a similar clip, writing, "breaking my silence. i miss iman vellani & rish shah so bad. (sic)" Another Twitter user indicated that Shah and Vellani graduated from Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain's "school of promotion" as romantic leads.

Rish Shah Cautiously Embraces Being Called a Heartthrob

Shah's leading appearance on "Ms. Marvel" isn't his first swoon-worthy performance. Previously, he starred in the Netflix original comedy film, "Do Revenge," opposite Camila Mendes, Austin Abrams, and Maya Hawke.

There, he plays Mendes's love interest, Russ. Shah's role as the romantic lead earned him heartthrob status, which seemed to make the actor cringe. "God, the H-word. I hate saying it. It's like, am I, though?" he quipped during a chat with GQ.

Shah was cautious of the heartthrob status overshadowing his work. Still, he admitted he could live with it for a while, noting that most actors he looked up to started their careers "in a similar fashion."
