Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has recently become the subject of intense social media speculation amid ongoing separation rumours with his wife, Dhanashree Verma. The buzz intensified after RJ Mahvash shared a photo featuring Chahal on her Instagram account. The picture, captioned “Christmas lunch con familia,” shows Chahal enjoying a meal with Mahvash and their friends. Interestingly, Mahvash disabled the comments section on the post, adding fuel to the growing speculation.
Netizens are now wondering if Mahvash is the mystery girl Chahal was recently seen with in Mumbai. A video shared by The New Indian showed the cricketer at a hotel with an unidentified woman. Dressed casually in a white oversized t-shirt and light blue baggy jeans, Chahal reportedly tried to hide his face from paparazzi when spotted with the woman.
These rumours come at a time when Chahal’s marriage to Dhanashree Verma appears to be under strain. Fans first noticed trouble when the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram. While Chahal has deleted all photos featuring Dhanashree from his account, she still has a few pictures of him on her profile.
Amid the mounting curiosity, Chahal recently issued a statement on Instagram, urging fans to refrain from speculating about his personal life. “I am grateful to all my fans for their unwavering love and support without which I wouldn’t have come this far. But this journey is far from OVER!!! As there are still many incredible OVERS left to deliver for my country, my team, and for my fans!!!” he wrote.
Chahal further addressed the ongoing rumours, stating, “I understand the curiosity surrounding recent events, particularly about my personal life. However, I have noticed certain social media posts speculating on matters that may or may not be true. As a Son, a Brother, and a Friend, I humbly request everyone not to indulge in these speculations, as they have caused immense pain to me and my family.”
Meanwhile, Dhanashree Verma also broke her silence on the matter. In a strongly worded Instagram story, she addressed the rumours about her marriage, calling them baseless and devoid of fact.
“The past few days have been incredibly tough for my family and me. What’s truly upsetting is the baseless writing, devoid of fact-checking, and the character assassination of my reputation by faceless trolls spreading hate. I’ve worked hard for years to build my name and integrity. My silence is not a sign of weakness; but of strength,” Dhanashree wrote.
She concluded her statement by emphasizing her commitment to focusing on her values and moving forward. “While negativity spreads easily online, it takes courage and compassion to uplift others. I choose to focus on my truth and move forward, holding onto my values. The truth stands tall without the need for justification. Om Namah Shivaay,” she added.
