Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has recently addressed rumors linking him to RJ Mahvash, particularly in the wake of his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. The leg-spinner, who finalized his divorce in March 2025, has been the subject of intense speculation regarding his relationship status with the radio personality.
Chahal and Dhanashree Verma officially divorced on March 20, 2025, though reports indicate they had been living apart since 2022. The separation was finalized with Chahal agreeing to pay Dhanashree Verma alimony of Rs 4.75 Crore. Following the divorce, Chahal has been seen publicly with RJ Mahvash, fueling rumors of a romantic relationship. The pair have been spotted together at various events, including IPL matches and a recent trip to London, further intensifying public speculation.
Amidst the swirling rumors, Yuzvendra Chahal has denied any romantic involvement with RJ Mahvash, especially concerning allegations that she played a role in his divorce. In a recent podcast interview, Chahal addressed the rumors of infidelity, stating, "When I was going through the divorce thing, people labeled me as a cheater. I have never cheated. You won't get a more loyal person than me". He emphasized that the decision to separate from Dhanashree was mutual and stemmed from incompatibility due to their demanding careers. Chahal also opened up about the emotional distress and mental health struggles he faced during the divorce, revealing that he struggled with suicidal thoughts due to the immense pressure.
RJ Mahvash has also responded to the accusations, particularly those accusing her of being a "homewrecker". In an Instagram video, she addressed the trolling and denied any involvement in Chahal's divorce. Reacting to a comment accusing her of "stealing a husband," Mahvash stated that she hadn't stolen anyone's husband and emphasized that doing so would be considered cheating. She expressed feeling terrible about being labeled a homewrecker, highlighting the baseless nature of the allegations.
Despite their denials, the public continues to speculate, fueled by their frequent public appearances and social media interactions. During an episode of "The Great Indian Kapil Show" on Netflix, Chahal playfully acknowledged the rumors, stating that "the entire country already knows" when asked about the mystery girl. Rishabh Pant, who also appeared on the show, joined in the banter, calling Chahal a "free man".
Most recently, Yuzvendra Chahal celebrated his 35th birthday in London, with RJ Mahvash seemingly organizing a surprise celebration, including dancers. This further intensified rumors, with fans speculating about the nature of their relationship. Despite the ongoing speculation, both Chahal and Mahvash maintain that they are just friends, with Chahal focusing on his cricket career and personal well-being amidst the aftermath of his divorce.
