One Direction Reunion on Cards? Excitement Builds as Zayn Malik Follows Louis Tomlinson on Instagram
The post was Zayn's first in nearly a month after completing his Stairway to the Sky tour. In the photo, he's seen wearing a white tank top and a black cap with the text HBO Original The Last Of Us, along with a full, bushy beard. The post quickly drew attention, not just for the image but for who reacted to it.
Is a One Direction Reunion Really Happening?
Fans noticed that Louis Tomlinson liked the post shortly after it went live. This interaction between Zayn and Louis, often referred to as 'Zouis' by fans, triggered a wave of excitement across social media. Many fans shared their reactions.
One fan wrote, 'He loves that show, and it's so cute! Also, I love how I went to look on the picture and Louis liked this post. I started crying lol.' Another fan commented, 'AND LOUIS LIKED THE POST QUICK [nodding gesture emoji],' while a third added, 'I'm so happy, I hope we see more Zouis interactions [heart icon]. I think they truly did make up.'
This new online interaction comes just a few months after Louis was seen attending Zayn Malik's solo concert in Los Angeles, marking their first public appearance together in nearly a decade.
Fans were quick to link the moment to recent events, including the group's loss of bandmate Liam Payne three months ago. The emotional reunion in LA had already reignited hopes for a possible band reunion, and this Instagram follow has only strengthened that feeling.
Zayn left One Direction in 2015, and since then, his relationship with the rest of the band, especially Louis, has been believed to be strained. But these recent interactions suggest the two may be moving forward. While there's been no official comment from either singer, the small online gestures are enough to get fans talking.

Chandra Barot, director of Amitabh Bachchan's iconic film ‘Don,' passes away at 86
Veteran filmmaker Chandra Barot, best known for helming Amitabh Bachchan's 1978 cult classic Don, passed away at a hospital in Mumbai on Sunday (July 20). He was 86. Chandra was battling 'Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis' (IPF-fibrosis of lungs) for the past 11 years and had been receiving treatment at the Guru Nanak Hospital, as per his family. 'Chandra passed away at the Guru Nanak Hospital this morning at 6.30 due to cardiac arrest caused by a chest infection. He had IPF, which is fibrosis of the lungs, for the past 11 years,' his wife, Deepa Barot told PTI. Farhan Akhtar, who is directing the third film in the renewed Don franchise, paid tribute to Chandra on Instagram, writing, 'Saddened to learn that the director of the OG Don is no more. RIP Chandra Barot-ji. Deepest condolences to the family.' Born and raised in Tanzania, Chandra worked at the Barclays Bank in Dara-es-Salam, before racial turmoil forced him to leave the country in 1967. In India, he pursued his passion in filmmaking and joined late veteran actor-director Manoj Kumar as an assistant director, working in films such as Purab Aur Pachhim, Yaadgaar, Shor andRoti Kapada Aur Makaan. In 1978, he made a film he would forever be remembered for: the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer, Don, which had a script written by Salim–Javed. However, pundits would fondly remember him for the reason he directed the film in the first place. Chandra wanted to help his friend, cinematographer-producer Nariman Irani, who had suffered terrible financial losses reportedly due to the failure of 1972's Zindagi Zindagi. After Don, Chandra helmed the Bengali film Aashrita in 1989, and returned to Hindi cinema with 1991's Pyar Bhara Dil. Chandra's subsequent projects, Hong Kong Wali Script and Neil Ko never saw the light of the day. However, Don lived on. In 2006, the film was rebooted in a new franchise by director Farhan Akhtar and lead star Shah Rukh Khan. They reunited again for a sequel, the 2011's Don 2: The King Is Back. Farhan is now making a third Don film with actor Ranveer Singh in the lead. The legacy of Don stretches far and beyond Bollywood, paving way for renditions headlined by the likes of Rajinikanth, Ajith Kumar, Prabhas and Mohanlal. Chandra Barot is survived by his wife and a son. The news about Chandra's death has shocked the film industry. Fans, well-wishers and colleagues from the film fraternity have been expressing their condolences. (with inputs from PTI)
