RJ Mahvash finally broke her silence on the ongoing taunting and speculation surrounding her professional career, particularly the rumours that cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal was the basis for her success. In a recent video broadcast on June 20, Mahvash lambasted the online trolls with proof of her work in the media field, claiming that her career was already successful before being associated to Chahal.
Since Chahal’s divorce with choreographer Dhanashree Verma in March 2025, RJ Mahvash’s name has been constantly associated with the spinner. Her encouragement during Chahal’s IPL matches fuelled countless dating rumours. She was also seen at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium during India’s Champions Trophy final victory in 2025.
She spent the next few months cheering on the leg-spinner’s IPL team, the Punjab Kings, from the stands. However, Mahvash has repeatedly stated that she is single and merely has a friendship with Chahal.
In her Instagram video captioned “Jab tak khud ke liye nahi bologe, koi tumhare liye nahi bolega” Mahvash began by responding to a comment that said, “Yuzi bhai ne iska career bana diya.” In response, she stated, “2019 se iss industry mein hoon, aao dikhati hoon apna career.” The video then shows a sequence of visuals from her career, including radio shows, cricket tournaments, and even producing the Bollywood film Section 108, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

To those questioning her cricket knowledge, Mahvash replied, ‘Cricket pitch tak pohach gayee abto to ye, cricket ke baare me kuch janti bhi hai ye (She has reached the cricket pitch, but does she know anything about the sport).’ She backed this with clips of her interviews with cricket legends like MS Dhoni, Chris Gayle, Shane Watson, and Harbhajan Singh during major global tournaments over the last few years.

Another troll mocked her by saying she started meeting celebrities only after her association with Chahal. To that, Mahvash displayed pictures alongside popular celebrities from the film and glamour industry like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana among many others.
The popular celebrity didn’t stop there. She went on to share her accomplishments, including being the author of a couple of books and the lead actress in Amazon Prime’s Pyaar Paisa Profit. She further showed clips of award wins and said, “Itni toh tumhari umar bhi nahi hai jitna lamba mera career raha hai. Scientist baap ki bachi hoon, aur baaki ka talent Amazon pe dekh lena.”
Mahvash concluded by extending her support for Chahal. “Main poori duniya ko bolungi ki jisey main jaanti hoon, woh super-talented hai. I will never back down from supporting a friend,” she said. The leg spinner dropped a comment on her post, reading, “Respect! More power to you!”
