Rumors surrounding the romantic involvement of RJ Mahvash and cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal have been swirling since Chahal's divorce from Dhanashree Verma earlier this year. Despite the absence of any official confirmation from either party, the public's fascination continues to grow, especially following Mahvash's recent social media activity.
On April 14, 2025, Mahvash posted a video on Instagram, captioned "Breakups don't have to be so bitter," which many interpreted as a subtle reference to the ongoing divorce controversy involving Chahal and Dhanashree. In the video, Mahvash questioned why modern-day breakups have become so acrimonious, advising viewers to make breakups a minor part of their lives. She stated, "Aaj kal ki generation ke breakups itne gande kyu hote hain yaar? Breakups ko apni zindagi ka sabse chota hissa banaao. Aadhe time toh humari nafrat hi saamne wale ko regret hi nahi karne deti ki usne kya kiya. Tumhari maafi uss bande ko aadha kar degi. Trust me, let it go! Zindagi hai dost, tumhe lagta hai ki tumhare hath mein par sab tay hai…" (Why are breakups in today’s generation so messy, man? Make breakups the smallest part of your life. Half the time, our hatred doesn’t even let the other person regret what they did. Your forgiveness will break that person in half. Trust me, let it go! This is life, my friend—you may feel like it’s in your control, but everything is already destined.)
Her candid message about moving on resonated with many, leading to an influx of comments on her post. Fans speculated that the video was directed at Chahal, with one user commenting, "Chahal bhai ke liye video tha ye" (This video was for Chahal brother). Another user added, "Ek din Chahal bhai bhi aage badh jayenge" (One day, Chahal brother will also move on).
Mahvash has been a regular presence at IPL matches, often seen cheering for Chahal's team, the Punjab Kings. Most recently, she attended a match in Chandigarh, where she shared a series of photos, including one of her cheering in the stands and another selfie with Chahal. Their appearances together have only fueled dating rumors, especially since they were spotted together at the Champions Trophy match in Dubai.
The dating rumors between Mahvash and Chahal began in December 2024, when Mahvash posted a Christmas photo that included Chahal and his friends. Shortly after, Chahal was seen with a mystery woman, who fans quickly identified as Mahvash. Since then, the two have been frequently seen together, though Mahvash insists they are just friends.
Amidst the buzz, Dhanashree Verma has faced considerable scrutiny and online harassment following the announcement of her divorce from Chahal on March 20, 2025. Reports of difficulties in their marriage first emerged in December 2024, leading to intense speculation about the reasons behind their split. Dhanashree was subjected to accusations of exploiting Chahal for fame, and some labeled her a "gold-digger." In response to the rumors about an alleged alimony demand of Rs 60 crore, her family released a statement dismissing these claims as baseless, clarifying that Chahal has agreed to pay Rs 4.5 crore as permanent alimony.
Despite the ongoing speculation, both Chahal and Mahvash have refrained from confirming or denying their relationship status. However, their public interactions and social media posts keep fans guessing. On April 9, Mahvash shared a heartfelt note for Chahal, praising his support and resilience, to which he responded by calling her his "spine."
The public's interest in their potential romance shows no signs of waning, as fans continue to analyze their social media activity and appearances together. The speculation surrounding Chahal and Mahvash's relationship remains a hot topic, leaving many to wonder whether they will eventually confirm their romance or continue to keep it under wraps.
As the IPL season progresses and both Mahvash and Chahal continue to be in the spotlight, fans are left eagerly awaiting any updates on their relationship status. Will they eventually come forward with the truth, or will the mystery surrounding their connection continue to captivate audiences? Only time will tell.
