Team India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has been making headlines for the past couple of months for issues in his marriage with Dhanashree Verma. Reports further suggest that the couple filed for divorce last year and legally separated. Though neither has spoken publicly about their relationship, social media has been divided—some blaming Dhanashree, while others accuse Chahal of infidelity, suggesting it led to their breakup.
However, things blew up when RJ Mahvash’s name was linked with Chahal. Sparking dating rumours, Mahvash was seen attending the Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand in Dubai with Chahal by his side. Sharing a series of photos and videos, Mahvash wrote, “Kaha tha na jita ke aungi😝😍 I am good luck for team India (I said I will return after help India win. I am good luck for Team India)!.” (sic)
Speculations suggest that Mahvash and Yuzi are in a steady relationship. Even the alleged couple celebrated Christmas together last year, and she shared photos on social media.
The Aligarh-born radio jockey-turned-actress is carving her path in showbiz. Mahvash made her showbiz debut by co-producing in Section 108 (2024) and she is now all set to star in a mini-series as the lead opposite Mihir Ahuja in Yash Patnaik’s new project for Amazon.
Amid all the buzz, Dhanashree, who had previously archived all her pictures with Chahal, has now restored them, leaving fans confused about their current relationship status. She also shared a cryptic post seemingly addressing the recent controversy surrounding her divorce. The post read, “Blaming Women is Always in Fashion."

The post comes after Yuzvendra was spotted with Mahvansh at the match and people made fresh comments about Dhanashree's split.
Yuzvendra Chahal met Dhanashree Verma during the Covid-19 pandemic where he approached her for dance lessons. The love between the two blossomed, and they tied the knot in December 2020 in an intimate ceremony in Gurugram.
