RJ Mahvash breaks silence on unfollowing Yuzvendra Chahal

Speaking about the recent social media buzz, RJ Mahvash revealed that the unfollowing incident was not as serious as people assumed. “People have a habit of making a fuss over small things. It is not such a big deal when you go through it,” she told Pinkvilla. Mahvash explained that arguments and temporary follow-unfollow situations are normal between friends and should not automatically be interpreted as a breakup or fallout.

The actress also shared that genuine friendships are built on comfort and honesty, where people can talk nonsense without holding grudges afterward. “So I would always wish him all the best and my best wishes will always be with him. There's no such big deal in it,” she clarified.

Was there ever a romantic relationship between Yuzi and Mahvash?

When directly asked whether she and Yuzvendra Chahal were more than friends, Mahvash firmly denied the speculation. “No, that was never the case,” she stated. Mahvash explained that during Chahal’s difficult separation phase, he simply needed supportive friends around him. “I have been a great friend to him. At that time, he needed a good friend. So we all were just focusing on him to get done with his IPL season,” she said. The actress also revealed that she stood by the cricketer as a support system and intends to continue doing so without fear of public judgment.

Speculation about Chahal and Mahvash’s relationship first gained momentum after the cricketer’s divorce from Dhanashree Verma. The duo were frequently spotted together at cricket stadiums, restaurants and parties, leading fans to believe they were dating. Things became even more confusing after the New Year when Chahal stated during an interview that he was single. While some fans believed he was trying to keep his relationship private, others started questioning the status of his bond with Mahvash. Soon afterward in January 2026, social media users noticed that both of them had unfollowed each other on Instagram, which led fans to believe that the two had broken up.
