Yuzvendra Chahal, Mahvash Step Out For Cozy Dinner Date Before IPL 2025 Final
Last Updated: Mahvash has been a familiar face at Chahal's important matches this season, and it is expected she will attend the IPL 2025 final on June 3. Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash have once again sparked dating rumours after being spotted enjoying a cozy dinner date in Jaipur. The video, shared by Pinkvilla, shows the duo in a dimly lit upscale restaurant, seated together and seemingly engrossed in a private conversation. While neither has confirmed the relationship, their frequent appearances together have continued to fuel speculation. The dinner clip was reportedly recorded a few days ago, before the IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 match in Ahmedabad. Chahal's team, Punjab Kings, played against Mumbai Indians in the high-stakes match on June 1. RJ Mahvash was seen in the stands cheering him on, and her animated reaction when Chahal took Suryakumar Yadav's wicket grabbed fans' attention. Mahvash has been a familiar face at Chahal's important matches this season, and it is expected she will attend the IPL 2025 final on June 3. With the Punjab Kings making it to the final, all eyes are not only on Chahal's performance but also on the woman who has been spotted supporting him from the stands. The buzz around Chahal and Mahvash began when the cricketer's marriage with Dhanashree Verma reportedly ran into trouble. The couple officially parted ways in March this year. Since then, Mahvash has often been seen accompanying the leg-spinner, leading to whispers of a budding romance. While Mahvash has previously denied the rumours, their continued sightings, especially their appearance together at a Champions Trophy match in Dubai, have only intensified gossip. Apart from being in the spotlight for her alleged relationship, Mahvash is also making professional strides. She recently made her acting debut with Pyar Paisa Profit, a web series adapted from Durjoy Datta's novel Now That You're Rich… Let's Fall In Love. Streaming on Amazon MX Player, the show stars Pratik Yadav, Mihir Ahuja, Neil Bhoopalam, Nitish Sharma, Shivangi Khedkar, and Ashish Raghav. First Published:

Suniel Shetty's Son Ahan Shetty On 'Mama' Duty, Cradles Niece In His Arms
Last Updated: Ahan Shetty shared photos with his niece, Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul's daughter, Evaarah. He is set to appear in Border 2. Ahan Shetty, who will be seen in Sunny Deol's Border 2, is currently on 'mama' (uncle) duty. On what looked like a day off, Ahan was busy spending time with his sister Athiya Shetty's newborn daughter. Without revealing her face, he posted two adorable photos with his little niece. For the unversed, Athiya and her cricketer-husband KL Rahul welcomed their daughter Evaarah Vipula Rahul on March 24, 2025. 'On duty", wrote Ahan with a feeding bottle emoji, depicting his time with his niece. He quietly cradled her in his arms as she slept soundly. The photo zoomed in on the beautiful scenic beauty of the sea, that could be seen from the glass windows of the room Ahan and Evaarah were in. Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ahan Shetty (@ Three-month-old Evaarah is the light of Suniel Shetty and his family. In a recent conversation with The Lallantop, Suniel spoke about KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty's daughter Evaarah. 'I'm obsessed with the baby. I keep checking my phone, or running home every day. The most exciting part is that she's going to move into the same building soon. That's what I'm looking forward to the most. I'm even changing my workout schedule — I now finish everything by 6:30 a.m so that my duties as a grandfather can begin. Because the others in the house will be resting," he said. The Dhadkan actor shared how he adjusted his training to ensure he could easily bend and play with his two-month-old granddaughter Evaarah. He shared, 'I have changed my training too. I'm now focusing more on bending, lifting — all the things that'll help keep my back strong. Because with babies, you have to pick them up again and again. People think I'm joking, but my training has actually changed because of this. As you age, the body tends to bend more, lower back issues crop up, legs get weaker. So my training is all about making sure I can walk straight, bend comfortably, and play with the kids — for as long as I'm around." As for Ahan Shetty, he has joined the ensemble cast of Border 2, which also stars Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh. First Published: June 02, 2025, 19:14 IST
