Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal may not have been part of the playing squad in the ICC Champions Trophy final, but he was still in the stands, cheering for Team India at the Dubai International Stadium. However, what caught the attention of many fans was not just his presence but also the company he was in. Sitting beside him was a young woman in a white top, sparking curiosity among fans. Soon, it was revealed that she was RJ Mahvash, a radio jockey-turned-actor.
RJ Mahvash Spotted With Chahal
Actor Vivek Oberoi was one of the first to share a video featuring Chahal and Mahvash. Sitting in the row ahead of them, Oberoi recorded a clip of himself interacting with the duo. Sharing the video on social media, he wrote, “Spin master @yuzi_chahal23 in our box, spinning the winning energy for Team India, cheering with us! Thank you bro for being an inspiration to so many young cricketers.”
As India clinched victory against New Zealand to secure their third Champions Trophy, Mahvash took to Instagram to share celebratory pictures and videos with Chahal. Her post, featuring the two enjoying the moment under a sky lit up with fireworks, had a cheeky caption: “Kaha tha na jita ke aungi (Told you I would make them win). I am good luck for Team India.”
Who is RJ Mahvash?
RJ Mahvash started her career as a radio jockey during her college years before shifting to content creation. She has collaborated with several renowned cricketers, including Brett Lee, Suresh Raina, and Chris Gayle. She later hosted her own show, Bold or Bowled.
In 2022, she was a host for the Amazon miniTV show Playground Season 1. The following year, she took a step into film production by founding Cinemawala Productions. Under this banner, she produced the film Section 108, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Regina Cassandra. In 2024, she announced her debut as the lead in an upcoming web series, produced by Yash Patnaik, set to stream on Amazon Mini TV.
Mahvash Reacts to Dating Rumors
Mahvash and Chahal first sparked dating rumors in December 2023 when she shared a group picture from a Christmas party, where they were seen together. The speculation only grew from there. However, Mahvash quickly addressed the rumors in an Instagram Story, dismissing them as baseless. She wrote, “Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It’s literally funny to see how baseless these rumors 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?”
Chahal’s Divorce With Dhanashree Verma
Yuzvendra Chahal was previously married to choreographer and social media influencer Dhanashree Verma. The couple tied the knot in 2020, but reports surfaced in 2024 claiming they had parted ways. Though neither of them publicly confirmed the separation initially, last month, Chahal’s lawyer, Nitin K Gupta, released an official statement confirming that Chahal and Verma had reached a mutual divorce settlement. The petition was filed in the Family Court in Bandra, and the case remains under legal proceedings.
