💕 Spotlight on Relationships & Rumors
In early 2025, RJ Mahvash’s name hit headlines when seen alongside cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal at ICC final events. Rumors swirled, linking them romantically. RJ Mahvash addressed it candidly: while she calls him a friend and supporter, like when she encouraged him after an IPL hat-trick, she is “single and happy,” steering clear of casual dating. She emphasized she only gets serious when considering marriage .
When RJ Mahvash was seen with Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal at the ICC Champions Trophy Finals in early 2025, the internet went into overdrive. Soon after, pictures of them sitting together, grinning and talking started making the rounds on social media, leading many people to wonder if they were dating. Does Chahal have a new special someone in Mahvash?
🔍 Where Did It All Begin?
The rumors gained traction after paparazzi caught Mahvash and Chahal together not once but on multiple occasions—at stadiums, events, and even a couple of casual outings. Some sources even labeled her as “Chahal’s mystery girl”, while fan theories on Twitter and Reddit speculated about a budding romance between the two.
Given Chahal’s previous high-profile marriage to YouTuber Dhanashree Verma (which, according to media reports, had recently ended), the timing of Mahvash’s appearances with him added more fuel to the fire.
🎙️ RJ Mahvash Breaks Her Silence
In response to the media storm, RJ Mahvash addressed the rumors head-on in several interviews. She didn’t shy away from the speculation but instead offered a straightforward explanation:
“I am single and very happy. Just because I am seen with someone doesn’t mean there’s something going on. I consider Yuzi [Chahal] a dear friend. We vibe well, we laugh a lot, and we’ve supported each other in our respective careers. That’s it.”
She even posted a cryptic yet cheeky Instagram story saying:
“My standards go below my heels when I’m dumb in love. But thankfully, I’m not dumb right now 😉 #SingleAndSorted”
This light-hearted yet bold response was classic Mahvash—witty, self-aware, and unapologetically real.
💬 What About Chahal?
Yuzvendra Chahal has maintained his usual silence on personal matters. While he has neither confirmed nor denied the rumors, his interactions with Mahvash—liking her posts, commenting occasionally, and appearing together at public events—have only added more mystery.
Fans noticed that Chahal seemed relaxed and cheerful in her company, leading to speculation that the two share a comfortable and possibly close bond. However, without any official confirmation from his side, it remains pure conjecture.
🕵️♀️ Just Good Friends or Something More?
Here’s what we know:
