RJ Mahvash Denies Dating Yuzvendra Chahal
Taking to her Instagram stories on January 10, 2025, Mahvash clarified the nature of her connection with Chahal. In her statement, she strongly denied the dating allegations and expressed frustration over the baseless rumors circulating online.
“Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It’s really funny to see how baseless these rumors are. If you get seen with an opposite gender, so you are dating that person? I am sorry, what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then?”
She also accused public relations teams of dragging her name into the controversy to shield others, likely referring to the ongoing reports about Chahal’s marriage.
“I have been patient for the past 2-3 days, but I won’t let any PR teams drag my name into this to cover up other people’s image. Let people live in peace with their friends and family in tough times,” Mahvash wrote.
The Viral Picture That Sparked Rumors
The rumors began when Mahvash and Chahal were photographed together while checking out of a hotel in Mumbai. Chahal was seen attempting to hide his face, which added fuel to the speculation. Dressed casually, Chahal wore a white t-shirt and baggy jeans, while Mahvash donned a sweatshirt and black jeans. The internet erupted with questions about the “mystery girl,” and fans were quick to link the duo romantically.
Christmas Brunch Photo Adds to the Buzz
The rumors gained further momentum when another picture surfaced of Chahal and Mahvash from a Christmas brunch in 2024. In the image, Mahvash sported a festive red reindeer sweater paired with a black skirt and thigh-high boots, while Chahal was seated next to her in a brown jacket. The fact that Chahal spent Christmas away from his wife, Dhanashree Verma, added more fuel to the fire.
The State of Chahal and Dhanashree’s Marriage
Reports of trouble in Chahal and Dhanashree’s marriage have been making rounds for a while. The cricketer and the choreographer, who tied the knot in 2020, have not addressed the divorce rumors directly, but their separate appearances and lack of public interaction have left fans speculating.
RJ Mahvash’s Stance on the Controversy
Mahvash’s response has made it clear that she won’t tolerate unfounded accusations or allow her name to be used in personal disputes. Her statement also highlights the gender bias in how society perceives friendships between men and women, especially in the public eye.
While the rumors continue to swirl, Mahvash’s firm denial serves as a reminder to respect individuals’ privacy and avoid jumping to conclusions based on unverified information.
