The two were previously seen leaving the Bengaluru airport together, with Chahal stopping for selfies with fans while Mahvash walked quietly alongside a friend.

RJ Mahvash and Yuzvendra Chahal dating rumours
Chahal’s divorce from choreographer Dhanashree Verma was finalised in March. However, the couple’s split wasn’t without controversy, as whispers about Chahal’s rumoured closeness to RJ Mahvash had begun circulating beforehand, adding fuel to the speculation surrounding their separation. At the time, RJ Mahvash clarified that they were just friends.
After his separation, Chahal was seen enjoying a Champions Trophy match with RJ Mahvash. Their photographs sparked rumours that they are dating. Since then, the two have been spotted together on multiple occasions. During the IPL 2025 championship, Mahvash was spotted with Chahal several times. However, neither has commented on the speculations yet.
Despite the dating buzz, RJ Mahvash recently claimed in an interview with Yuvaa that she is “very much single” and doesn’t believe in casual dating. “I don’t understand the concept of marriage in today’s time,” she said, explaining her preference to only date someone she sees a future with.
