In a recent turn of events that has set social media abuzz, RJ Mahvash, a popular radio jockey and Instagram personality, has finally addressed the swirling rumors linking her romantically with Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal.
The buzz generated after the duo was spotted together at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai earlier this year ignited a frenzy of speculation among fans and gossip enthusiasts. Mahvash has now stepped in to douse the flames, declaring unequivocally that she is single and has no time for casual dates.
Speaking candidly on Yuvaa's YouTube channel, Mahvash clarified her relationship status, stating that she is single and will only date someone whom she sees a future with.
"I am very much single, and I don't understand the concept of marriage in today's time," Mahvash said during a podcast.
"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.
She then peeled back the layers of a tough chapter in her life. At 19, she was engaged, only to call it off at 21 after discovering her fiancé’s repeated infidelity.
"I was engaged at the age of 19, and I called it off at the age of 21. Growing up in a small town like Aligarh, our only conditioning was that we needed to find a good husband and get married. That used to be our goal," Mahvash shared.

Yuzvendra Chahal, Dhanashree Verma Complete Their DivorceÂ
On the other side of the equation, Chahal has kept mum about his private life since parting ways with Dhanashree Verma on March 20, 2025. Word has it he settled alimony of INR 4.75 crore, though the reasons for their split remain under wraps.
However, journalist Vicky Lalwani revealed that the root cause of Chahal and Dhanashree's divorce was the latter's wish to shift to Mumbai. The cricketer did not want to leave his family in Haryana, ultimately leading to a conflict.
"Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma never got along much as they are two totally different personalities, says a source in the know. Suddenly, one fine day, Dhanashree put her foot down on something that made Yuzi fall off the chair. The leg spinner was baffled; he tried explaining to Dhanashree that her demand was unjust. The two discussed, argued, and fought. Dhanashree wanted Yuzi to shift bag and baggage from Haryana to Mumbai," Lalwani wrote.
Meanwhile, Chahal is plying his trade in the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) for Punjab Kings (PBKS). In two matches so far this season, the leg-spinner has only managed to pick one wicket.
