Speculations are rife on the future of Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma's marriage as the duo unfollowed each other on Instagram. The Indian spin bowler also reportedly removed some of their couple photos from his social media, further strengthening theories suggesting cracks had developed in his relationship with Dhanashree Verma, a social media sensation and dance choreographer.
Meanwhile, Chahal was linked with RJ Mahvash by some rumour mongers who claimed the duo to be dating. During Christmas, RJ Mahvash posted a photo on Instagram that showed Chahal enjoying lunch in her company. “Christmas lunch con familiar,” Mahvash titled the album.
However, Mahvash on Friday decided enough was enough and hit out at the baseless reports on the internet. If two people of the opposite gender are seen together, they need not be essentially dating, she pointed out while asking "what year is this?". She won't let PR teams drag use her to cover up other people's image, she added.
For the unversed, RJ Mahvash is a talented Delhi-based radio jockey who has over 1.4 million Instagram followers. A Mass Communication graduate, she is a known prankster who often finds time to create content targeting women empowerment and gender equality.
FULL TRANSCRIPT OF RJ Mahvash's Instagram story:
Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It's literally funny to see how baseless are these rumours. If you get SEEN with an opposite gender, so you are dating that person? I am sorry what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then? I have been patient since 2-3 days now but I won't let any PR teams drag my name into this to cover up other people's image. Let people live in peace with their friends and family in tough times.
Dhanashree Verma-Yuzvendra Chahal divorce rumours
Earlier, Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal had made cryptic social media posts requesting privacy.
"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. 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," Verma had said on social media.
In 2022, Dhanashree dropped the surname “Chahal” from her Instagram handle giving birth to similar speculations. “New Life Loading,” Chahal had said on Instagram around the same time.
The duo had tied the knot in a private ceremony held in Gurgaon on December 22, 2020.
