'Yuzvendra Chahal ki engagement ho chuki hai,' says Rishabh Pant amidst rumours of him dating RJ Mahvash, the cricketer reacts
Yuzvendra Chahal is rumoured to be dating RJ Mahvash after he divorced from Dhanashree Verma. Their divorce just got finalised a few months ago, right before the IPL kickstarted. All through the IPL, Mahvash was present in the stadium to cheer for Yuzvendra's team, Punjab Kings and even dropped pictures while she penned a note for him. Meanwhile, Mahvash and Yuzvendra were spotted together in London which added fuel to these rumours. And now, Rishab Pant joked that Yuzvendra is engaged. The cricketers had appeared on Kapil Sharma's show and Archana Puran Singh dropped a BTS vlog from the shoot. She shares some fun moments from the episode featuring cricketers Rishabh Pant , Yuzvendra Chahal, Abhishek Sharma, and Gautam Gambhir. The players happily greeted Navjot Singh Sidhu and the rest of the team. Archana personally asked each cricketer about their lives and warmly welcomed newcomer Abhishek Sharma to the show. The vlog starts with Archana complaining about her sore throat and wondering, 'How am I going to laugh on camera tonight?' She then meets Kapil and compliments his outfit, saying, 'Where did you get this suit? It looks amazing; the black and white is looking very good.' They quickly head to the set as Kapil mentions he has somewhere to be afterward. Sidhu enters, and the cricketers gather around him. Speaking about Abhishek, Sidhu says, 'I am so proud of him, because he is the future of Indian cricket .' Archana calls Abhishek a 'very handsome boy,' and notes that both he and Kapil come from Amritsar, which helped him get on the show. Archana talks to the players and asks Rishabh about his recent accident. Rishabh says the experience gave him 'a new perspective on life' and taught him a lot. He also shares that he has started a YouTube channel, and Archana gives him a shout-out on her own channel. While talking about YouTube, Rishabh jokingly puts a ring on Chahal's finger. Archana teases, 'Are you now engaged to him?' Rishabh replies, 'Iski toh ho chuki hai pehle. ' Yuzi then clarifies, 'The engagement is now over,' referring to his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. The teasing continues when Archana invites Chahal to her home in Madh Island but quickly adds that he's probably too busy to visit Mumbai. Rishabh jokes, 'He is here all the time.' Chahal responds, 'Sabko bata de tu (Why don't you tell everyone?),' and Rishabh starts shouting it on set. The playful joke was a nod to Chahal's rumored relationship with RJ Mahvash, who lives in Mumbai.
