Bollywood actress clarifies after claiming Suryakumar Yadav 'used to message me a lot'. Who is Khushi Mukherjee?

Bollywood actress and model Khushi Mukherjee has found herself at the centre of a media storm after a brief remark involving Indian T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav triggered widespread speculation and online chatter. What began as a casual comment at a public event quickly snowballed into headlines, prompting Mukherjee to issue a detailed clarification.

The Comment That Sparked the Buzz

At a recent event, Khushi Mukherjee was asked whether she would consider dating a cricketer. In response, she said she had no interest in being linked with any player and added that Suryakumar Yadav “used to message” her frequently in the past. She also remarked that several cricketers had shown interest in her earlier. The statement, though brief, was enough to ignite rumours and social media debate.

Clarification After the Headlines

In an interaction with News24, Mukherjee sought to clear the air, firmly denying any romantic association with the Indian batter. She stated that there was “nothing like that” between them and described the relationship as a simple friendship. According to her, the context was misunderstood and amplified beyond intent.


She told News24 that her comment referred to a period when Yadav had lost a match and reached out for a normal conversation, which she said was taken out of proportion. Mukherjee also expressed displeasure with the way her words were recorded and presented, alleging that statements made off camera were portrayed differently on screen.

Mukherjee further claimed that the situation escalated after her social media account was compromised. She told that her account was hacked while she was in Thailand, leading to private chats being accessed and circulated without consent. She alleged that her password was misused and said she faced threats during the episode.

Questioning the narrative around her remarks, Mukherjee said that having a friendly conversation should not be misconstrued, especially when no relationship existed. She added that she deleted a large portion of old chats to avoid further controversy but felt the damage had already been done.
