Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash have marriage on their mind? Months after divorce from Dhanashree Verma

Yuzvendra Chahal hints at new marriage

Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has reignited public interest in his personal life with a recent Instagram post where he jokingly announced that he is ready to get married again, only missing the right partner. The post arrived just months after his divorce from dancer and content creator Dhanashree Verma, making fans wonder if he is seriously thinking about a second marriage.

In the photos, Chahal appears in a black tuxedo and pairs the images with a lighthearted caption that translates to him being prepared for marriage and only needing a bride. The playful tone of the post triggered a wave of reactions from followers, ranging from supportive messages to teasing comments about his past relationship.

Fan reactions and RJ Mahvash tags

Many social media users celebrated Chahal’s apparent readiness to move forward, praising his fresh start after a difficult personal phase. At the same time, some fans revisited his history with Dhanashree, making emotional and nostalgic comments under the post.

A noticeable section of the audience began tagging radio jockey and digital creator RJ Mahvash in the comments, fueling ongoing speculation that there might be something more than friendship between them. These tags added a new layer of gossip to an already closely watched chapter of Chahal’s life.

RJ Mahvash’s video on trust and marriage

Shortly after Chahal’s message, RJ Mahvash shared a new video in which she discussed themes of relationships, trust and marriage. In the clip, she emphasised that she would never publicly “launch” her partner online before marriage and encouraged women to speak up if they noticed a man flirting in private messages.

Mahvash stressed that she does not fully trust anyone and warned that people are capable of anything, urging women to expose questionable behaviour instead of staying silent. Her comments were widely interpreted as a broader message about self‑protection and boundaries in modern relationships, not a direct confirmation of any romance.

Dating rumours and public judgment

Chahal and RJ Mahvash have been surrounded by dating rumours for quite some time, especially after both were seen together on multiple occasions. Despite the buzz, they have repeatedly denied being in a relationship and maintained that the public is reading too much into their appearances.

On a podcast with Raj Shamani, Chahal spoke about how quickly people started linking him to Mahvash when they were first seen together. He recalled that Mahvash was harshly judged online, with some users even labelling her a “homewrecker,” something that deeply upset him.

Chahal on love after divorce

Chahal admitted that it will take time for him to fully process everything that has happened in his personal life. He explained that while he is not afraid of falling in love again, he is scared of losing someone because he becomes very emotionally attached.

He also mentioned that he needs to rebuild himself before completely opening his heart to another person. This inner work appears to coexist with his humorous social media post about being ready for marriage, reflecting a mix of vulnerability and hope.

Past marriage with Dhanashree Verma

Yuzvendra Chahal married choreographer and digital creator Dhanashree Verma in 2020. Over time, cracks reportedly began to appear in their relationship, and by the third year of marriage, their issues had become more visible.

The couple had been living separately since June 2022, and they filed for divorce by mutual consent in February 2025. Their divorce was finalised on 20 March 2025 at the Bandra Family Court in Mumbai, formally closing a significant chapter in both their lives.
