Yuzvendra Chahal's rumoured girlfriend drops cryptic message amid dating buzz. Who is RJ Mahvash? A look at her education, career

RJ Mahvash, who is rumored to be cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal's new ladylove, has once again ignited speculation with her most recent Instagram reel. The popular radio host, who was previously spotted alongside Chahal at the ICC Champions Trophy final in Dubai, shared an emotional video that many fans believe subtly hints at their alleged love affair.

In the clip, Mahvash enigmatically remarks, "If a guy comes into my life, he will be just one… He will be the same friend, the closest companion, the boyfriend, and ultimately, the husband." She paired the video with a succinct caption that read, "Only one."

Social media users were quick to draw conclusions, filling the comment section with references to Chahal. One individual wrote, "You're talking about Chahal, right?" while another humorously noted, "Yuzi must be grinning in the background." Some even urged her to be direct, saying, "Just say it's Chahal already!"


Further fueling these rumors, eagle-eyed followers suspect that Mahvash was in Lucknow during one of Yuzvendra's Indian Premier League matches. Chahal, who plays for Lucknow Super Giants, participated in a game against Punjab Kings at Ekana Cricket Stadium. Interestingly, Mahvash allegedly uploaded an Instagram Story from the poolside of the Taj Hotel in Lucknow, the same city where the match was being played. A Reddit user speculated, "How much longer are they going to keep this under wraps?"

Meanwhile, Chahal's personal life continues to remain under intense public scrutiny following his highly publicized separation from Dhanashree Verma. Their divorce was finalized with Chahal agreeing to pay a hefty alimony of Rs 4.75 crore. Adding to the controversy, Dhanashree’s latest music video is rumored to hint at Chahal’s alleged unfaithfulness. In what seemed like a subtle reaction, Chahal was recently seen donning a T-shirt that read, "Be your own sugar daddy," which many interpreted as a veiled message directed at his former spouse.

Despite the constant conjecture surrounding their breakup, neither Dhanashree nor Yuzvendra publicly disclosed the specific reasons behind their decision to part ways. However, according to veteran entertainment journalist Vickey Lalwani, their separation stemmed from a disagreement over their place of residence. After tying the knot in December 2020, the couple moved to Haryana to live with Chahal’s parents. However, within a short span, Dhanashree reportedly expressed her preference for relocating to Mumbai, a wish that did not align with Chahal’s plans, ultimately leading to discord.
