RJ Mahvash with PBKS team
Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash may not have confirmed their relationship, but netizens continue to speculate due to their frequent appearances together. She was seen attending every match played by Punjab Kings during the recently concluded IPL 2025. Even as Chahal's team PBKS lost the final, she penned a heartfelt note for the cricketer, further igniting relationship rumours. However, underneath her heartfelt post, a netizen questioned her intentions behind befriending Chahal.
Commenting on her post where Mahvash praised Chahal, a user wrote, "She's just grabbing followers in the name of Yuzi. I bet she even started watching cricket recently."
RJ Mahvash did not choose to ignore the trolling and, in fact, hit back with facts. "I have been hosting cricket since 2019, your knowledge is nil, Chotu! Research!"
A day after the IPL finals, she took to her Instagram handle to praise PBKS with a special mention of Chahal. She also shared several pictures with Team PBKS and their supporters, including team owner Preity Zinta.
Sharing the pictures, she wrote, "They fought, stayed and played till the last match! ðÂÂÂð¤ And special post to @yuzi_chahal23 because what people don't know is that his ribs got fractured after few matches only and his bowling finger got fractured later, this guy played the entire season with 3 fractures! We all have seen him screaming and crying in pain but have never seen him giving up! I mean what warrior spirit you have man ð«¡ The team kept fighting till the last ball! It was nothing but an honour to be a supporter of this team this year! Well played boys ð All the people in these pictures have my heart ðÂ¥¹See you next year! Also, many congratulations to RCB and fans for winning the title. Everyone played and worked hard! Cricket , and IPL ..my God again! Truly a festival for us indians".
RJ Mahvash has been rumoured to be dating Chahal, as they've been spotted together on multiple occasions. However, she was quick to shut down the speculation. In an Instagram story earlier this year, she wrote, "Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It's literally funny to see how baseless these rumours are. If you get seen with a person of the opposite gender, does that mean you are dating them? I'm sorry, what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then?"
Later, in a conversation with Yuvaa, RJ Mahvash clarified that she is single, "I am very much single, and I don't understand the concept of marriage in today's time. I am someone who would date only when I have to marry. I don't go on casual dates because I will only date someone I want to get married to. I am that person, like in the film Dhoom, who sees his wife and kids behind the bike."
She added, "Shaadi ka concept samajh nahi aa raha hai (I don't understand the concept of marriage), so I've put a halt to it."
