Yuzvendra Chahal Denies Dating RJ Mahvash: 'She Was Called A Homewrecker, Felt Terrible'
@Source: news18.com
Yuzvendra Chahal has finally broken his silence on the speculation surrounding his personal life, particularly his rumoured relationship with RJ Mahvash after his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. In a new interview, the cricketer not only clarified the nature of his bond with Mahvash but also shared the emotional turmoil he went through following the separation.
Chahal firmly denied being in a relationship with anyone at present. “No, there’s nothing. People can think whatever they want to think,” he told Raj Shamani on his podcast when asked if there’s anything going on with Mahvash or anyone else. When asked about falling in love again, he admitted, “It will take time to process. I need to gather myself. I’m not afraid to fall in love again, but I’m scared of losing the person because I get attached with all my heart.”

Opening up about his mental state post-divorce, Chahal revealed he was deeply affected and unable to focus on cricket. “I was constantly thinking about the divorce. I was barely sleeping, maybe an hour or two a night. I felt like my life was spiraling out of control. I was exhausted, mentally and emotionally. That’s when suicidal thoughts began creeping in,” he said. The bowler even took a 45-day break from cricket to recover, admitting, “Honestly, I wouldn’t wish what I went through on even my worst enemies.”
Addressing the rumours linking him to RJ Mahvash, Chahal recounted how online speculation took a toll on both of them. “For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even she clarified it, but it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker… people said really nasty things. I felt terrible,” he shared. Chahal said Mahvash had supported him during one of the darkest phases of his life, and he felt devastated to see her dragged into unnecessary controversies.

He also explained how a simple Christmas dinner with friends was blown out of proportion. “We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date. It got to a point where we couldn’t even go out with friends without worrying about what people would say.”
Another incident that bothered him was when they were seen together at a hotel before he left for the airport. “She offered to drop me, and while we were waiting for the car, someone recorded a video. I was just fixing my hair, and people started saying all sorts of cheap things, like we were coming out of a hotel room. That really hurt me. It was very upsetting.”
