Yuzvendra Chahal Denies Dating RJ Mahvash: 'She Was Called A Homewrecker, Felt Terrible'
Opening up about his mental state post-divorce, Yuzvendra Chahal revealed he was deeply affected and unable to focus on cricket.
Yuzvendra Chahal has finally broken his silence on the speculation surrounding his personal life, particularly his rumoured relationship with RJ Mahvash after his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. In a new interview, the cricketer not only clarified the nature of his bond with Mahvash but also shared the emotional turmoil he went through following the separation.
Chahal firmly denied being in a relationship with anyone at present. 'No, there's nothing. People can think whatever they want to think," he told Raj Shamani on his podcast when asked if there's anything going on with Mahvash or anyone else. When asked about falling in love again, he admitted, 'It will take time to process. I need to gather myself. I'm not afraid to fall in love again, but I'm scared of losing the person because I get attached with all my heart."
Opening up about his mental state post-divorce, Chahal revealed he was deeply affected and unable to focus on cricket. 'I was constantly thinking about the divorce. I was barely sleeping, maybe an hour or two a night. I felt like my life was spiraling out of control. I was exhausted, mentally and emotionally. That's when suicidal thoughts began creeping in," he said. The bowler even took a 45-day break from cricket to recover, admitting, 'Honestly, I wouldn't wish what I went through on even my worst enemies."
Addressing the rumours linking him to RJ Mahvash, Chahal recounted how online speculation took a toll on both of them. 'For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even she clarified it, but it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker… people said really nasty things. I felt terrible," he shared. Chahal said Mahvash had supported him during one of the darkest phases of his life, and he felt devastated to see her dragged into unnecessary controversies.

He also explained how a simple Christmas dinner with friends was blown out of proportion. 'We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date. It got to a point where we couldn't even go out with friends without worrying about what people would say."
Another incident that bothered him was when they were seen together at a hotel before he left for the airport. 'She offered to drop me, and while we were waiting for the car, someone recorded a video. I was just fixing my hair, and people started saying all sorts of cheap things, like we were coming out of a hotel room. That really hurt me. It was very upsetting."

Sarah Jessica Parker Bids Goodbye To Carrie Bradshaw: 'Been Frustrated And Rooted For Her'
Last Updated: Sarah Jessica Parker says an emotional goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw as And Just Like That wraps up with Season 3, calling it a 'joyous adventure.' Sarah Jessica Parker is officially bidding farewell to Carrie Bradshaw — the iconic character she embodied for nearly three decades. With HBO Max's And Just Like That concluding after its third season, Parker took to Instagram to reflect on her 27-year journey as the Sex and the City heroine and expressed heartfelt gratitude for the ride. 'Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all," Parker wrote in a deeply emotional post. 'I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and a lifetime of debt. To you all." View this post on Instagram A post shared by SJP (@sarahjessicaparker) Parker's co-star Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York, also penned a touching note following the announcement. 'I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever," Davis wrote. The news of the show ending was confirmed just as Season 3 started airing. Showrunner Michael Patrick King explained that they had initially chosen to delay the announcement to preserve the audience's excitement. 'We didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season. It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years," he said. From chronicling the ups and downs of single life in Manhattan to evolving into a tale of middle-age and reinvention, Carrie Bradshaw has remained an enduring cultural icon. With And Just Like That offering a bittersweet close to the story, Parker's tribute reminds fans just how deeply intertwined her real-life journey has been with the fictional one.

Veer Pahariya Shields Girlfriend Tara Sutaria From Crowd; Couple Goes On Dinner Date
Last Updated: Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya were spotted hand-in-hand during a dinner date. Veer sweetly shielded her from the crowd. Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya made yet another joint appearance on Thursday night, continuing to fuel relationship rumours — only this time, with a heart-melting gesture that stole the show. The couple stepped out for a quiet dinner in Mumbai, and all eyes were on the duo as they exited their car. Tara looked effortlessly chic in a leopard-print bodysuit paired with an oversized black shirt styled as a jacket, adding a playful, sultry twist to her minimal aesthetic. She completed the look with black pumps, a sleek mini handbag, and her signature glossy bob. Veer, too, complemented her in an all-black ensemble — a fitted black T-shirt and relaxed trousers, keeping the overall vibe monochrome and subtly coordinated. What caught everyone's attention, however, wasn't just the style—but the affection. In the viral photos, Veer is seen gently holding Tara's hand and guiding her as she steps out of the car, then quickly placing himself protectively between her and the gathering crowd of paparazzi. His phone still in hand, he motions towards the photographers while keeping an eye on Tara, clearly making sure she felt safe and undisturbed. The two have been spotted together multiple times recently, including at events and private gatherings, and Tara has now more or less confirmed the relationship. In a recent podcast conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, the actress was all smiles when asked about her relationship status. 'I'm very happy right now! Yes! I'm elated, over the moon," she confessed. When asked if she and her partner stargaze together, she added playfully, 'Yeah, it's actually a fun experience. Chaudhvin Ka Chand vibes." Though she didn't name Veer directly, fans have connected the dots—especially with Veer and Tara often engaging on each other's social media and now making public appearances hand-in-hand.
