The rumour mill surrounding RJ Mahvash and cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has been churning for months, and recent events have only added fuel to the fire. Paparazzi interactions, social media exchanges, and public appearances have all contributed to the ongoing speculation about a potential romance between the two.
The teasing from the paparazzi occurred after RJ Mahvash was spotted at an airport. The paps playfully asked her about Yuzvendra Chahal, inquiring, "Bhai kaise hain?" (How is your brother?). While the video of the interaction hasn't been released, sources suggest that RJ Mahvash blushed and didn't offer a direct answer, which further intensified the rumours.
The gossip initially sparked after Yuzvendra Chahal finalized his divorce from Dhanashree Verma in March 2025. Soon after, Mahvash and Chahal were seen together at a Champions Trophy match in Dubai, igniting the first round of dating rumours. Since then, they have been spotted together multiple times, including during the IPL season, where Mahvash was seen cheering for Chahal during his matches.
Despite the constant speculation, both RJ Mahvash and Yuzvendra Chahal have maintained that they are "just friends". Mahvash has even stated that she is very much single and doesn't understand the concept of modern marriage. She has clarified that she would only date someone she intends to marry, dismissing any possibility of casual dating.
However, their actions often speak louder than their words. The pair frequently engages in social media banter, liking and sharing each other's posts. After Punjab Kings' win against Chennai Super Kings in an IPL match, Mahvash posted a supportive message for Chahal, writing, "One for supporting your people through thick and thin and standing behind them like a rock! We are all here for you @yuzi_chahal23.” Chahal responded warmly, "You guys are my spine! Thank you for making me stand tall always.” These interactions have further fueled the belief that there is more to their relationship than friendship.
In a recent interview with Instant Bollywood, RJ Mahvash praised Chahal's qualities, describing him as "nice," "humble," and "the most caring person you'll ever find." She added that she admires his availability and support for his loved ones. When asked what quality she would steal from Chahal, she didn't hesitate to say, "His niceness and how humble he is... He is genuinely one of the most caring people you'll ever come across. He's always available for the people he loves. I'd definitely steal that part of him.”
The constant media attention and online trolling have taken a toll on RJ Mahvash. In an interview, she revealed that she considered leaving social media and public life due to the false accusations and negativity. She expressed frustration over the rumors, stating, "I was unable to process because some of them were not even true. I was like, 'Why are these people doing this to me, I am just a girl who is trying to live a life?'"
Despite the emotional challenges, Mahvash has chosen to focus on her career and personal well-being. She recently made her acting debut in the web series "Pyaar Paisa Profit," inspired by Durjoy Datta's novel. She has also emphasized the importance of not owing explanations to those spreading misinformation and staying true to oneself.
Whether they are just friends or something more, the connection between RJ Mahvash and Yuzvendra Chahal continues to fascinate fans and media alike. Their public interactions and heartfelt words suggest a deep bond, leaving many to wonder if their relationship will eventually evolve into something beyond friendship.
