The internet is abuzz after Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and radio jockey RJ Mahvash unfollowed each other on Instagram. This social media activity has reignited speculation about the nature of their relationship, especially after months of persistent dating rumors, which both have repeatedly denied.

Chahal and Mahvash first sparked public interest last year when they were seen together at various events, including the Champions Trophy final, fueling rumors of a potential romance shortly after Chahal's divorce from Dhanashree Verma in March 2025. Mahvash was also spotted supporting Chahal at IPL matches. Despite the gossip, both Chahal and Mahvash maintained that they were just friends.

In a podcast interview with Raj Shamani last year, Chahal addressed the rumors, stating firmly that there was "nothing" romantic between him and Mahvash. He also expressed his disappointment with the harsh online trolling that Mahvash faced, including accusations of being a "homewrecker" and other abusive comments. Chahal noted that the rumors made it difficult for them to spend time together publicly, even in group settings, as photos were often taken out of context, sparking fresh speculation.

Mahvash also defended herself against the rumors on Instagram, dismissing them as "baseless" and challenging societal expectations about friendships between men and women. She criticized what she described as manufactured narratives and asserted her right to support friends during difficult times without romantic implications.

Following the unfollowing incident, Yuzvendra Chahal shared a cryptic message on Instagram. The message, featuring a picture, quoted Krishna telling Arjun, "Not every person deserves your explanation; sometimes it's okay to be silent and let them assume that you are wrong". Additionally, it was observed that Chahal had unliked all of RJ Mahvash's posts on the platform.

Currently, neither Chahal nor Mahvash has released an official statement regarding their recent social media activity. A review of their Instagram profiles confirms that they are no longer following each other. The internet remains curious, with fans and followers wondering about the reasons behind their decision to unfollow each other and what it signifies for their relationship. Some speculate a cooling off of their bond, while others consider it a mere social media cleanup.
