Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and popular radio jockey RJ Mahvash are once again grabbing headlines after fans noticed that the two have unfollowed each other on Instagram. The shocking social media antic has triggered curiosity around their equation, which had earlier drawn attention amid dating rumours. While neither Chahal nor Mahvash has addressed the development publicly, the unfollowing has caught eyeballs.

Chahal and Mahvash had been frequently linked over the past several months, especially following the cricketer’s separation from choreographer Dhanashree Verma in early 2025.

The speculation gained traction after the duo was spotted together on multiple occasions, including public outings and cricket matches.

Mahvash was also seen cheering for Chahal during IPL 2025 and was spotted in the stands at the Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai. Despite the chatter, both consistently maintained that they shared a close friendship and nothing more. However, recently, the two unfollowed each other on Instagram. Following this, fans triggered theories of a fallout. The cricketer has now come up with a cryptic post.

"Krishna Says to Arjun, "Not everyone deserves your explanation sometimes It's okay to be silent, let them assume that you are wrong," Chahal wrote.

Furthermore, Mahvash recently posted a reel, where she spoke about setting firm personal boundaries and choosing peace over emotionally draining relationships.

In the video, she expressed that she no longer feels the need to explain, manage, or “fix” anyone else, a message many interpreted as reflective of her current mindset.

For months, Mahvash had faced online scrutiny due to her proximity to Chahal, particularly in the aftermath of his divorce. She was subjected to trolling and unfairly labelled a 'homewrecker' by sections of social media, despite there being no confirmed link between her and the end of Chahal’s marriage.

Chahal later accepted how the rumours affected Mahvash, revealing that the constant speculation eventually forced them to limit public appearances to avoid further controversy.

Both had previously addressed the gossip directly. Chahal stated that being seen publicly with a friend should not automatically invite relationship rumours, while Mahvash dismissed the claims as baseless and criticised narratives that dragged her name into someone else’s personal situation.
