Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash Unfollow Each Other on Instagram Amid Lingering Dating Speculation

In a development that has once again captured the attention of social media users, Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and popular radio jockey and influencer RJ Mahvash have unfollowed each other on Instagram. The move, noticed recently, has triggered widespread speculation about the nature of their connection, months after persistent rumours of a romance.

The pair first drew public interest last year through frequent public appearances together, which fuelled dating gossip shortly after Chahal’s divorce from choreographer Dhanashree Verma was finalised. Their divorce, following a marriage in 2020, had already been widely discussed. Mahvash was spotted supporting Chahal at IPL matches, and the two were seen socialising, prompting intense online scrutiny.

Both Chahal and Mahvash consistently denied any romantic involvement, insisting they were merely friends. In an earlier podcast interview with Raj Shamani, Chahal addressed the rumours directly, stating there was “nothing” romantic between them or anyone else. He expressed regret over the harsh trolling Mahvash endured, including being labelled a “homewrecker” and facing abusive comments online. Chahal noted that the speculation made it difficult for them to spend time together publicly, even in group settings, as cropped photos often sparked fresh stories. Eventually, they limited outings to avoid further media attention.

Mahvash also pushed back against the claims on Instagram, dismissing them as “baseless” and questioning societal assumptions about opposite-gender friendships. She criticised what she called manufactured narratives and defended the right to support friends during challenging periods without romantic implications.

Neither party has commented on the recent unfollow action. A review of their Instagram profiles confirms they no longer appear in each other’s following lists, with screenshots circulating widely online. The development has sparked varied reactions on platforms including Reddit and Instagram, where users debate whether it signals the end of a friendship, reflects a simple social media cleanup, or hints at deeper issues.

One online comment described it as “Instagram drama alert,” while others pondered if the bond was ever more than platonic. The episode underscores how closely monitored celebrity interactions remain on social media, where even routine actions like unfollowing can ignite fresh waves of conjecture
