RJ Mahvash calls herself ‘dumb in love' amid dating rumours with Yuzvendra Chahal: ‘But I also avoid red flags'
RJ Mahvash tried her hand at acting with her newly released web series Pyaar Paisa Profit. Talking about it, she recently opened up about herself. Revealing how she is similar to her on-screen character from the series, Mahvash said that it's okay to be a 'little dumb in love.' Talking to Radio Nasha, RJ Mahvash said, "Just like my character in the series, I am dumb in love, but I also avoid red flags. My standards go below my heels when I meet the person; before that, they're very high." Her statement arrived amid her ongoing dating rumours with Yuzvendra Chahal. Yuzvendra was previously married to Dhanashree Verma. After they finalised their divorce, dating rumours of RJ Mahvash and Yuzvendra grew stronger. The two of them were spotted together publicly. RJ Mahvash was also snapped attending IPL matches of Yuzvendra's Punjab Kings and cheering him from the stands. In addition, she also gave him a shoutout on her Instagram handle, praising Yuzvendra for his impressive performance. However, neither of them has admitted to the rumours yet. Yuzvendra Chahal married Dhanashree in December 2020. They filed for divorce by mutual consent in a Mumbai court on February 5, 2025. As part of their divorce settlement, Yuzvendra was ordered to pay Dhanashree a substantial alimony of ₹ 4.75 crore. Meanwhile, it would be interesting to see Yuzvendra's review of RJ Mahvash's upcoming work. Pyaar Paisa Profit also stars Neil Bhoopalam, Ashish Raghav and Shivangi Khedkar. It is directed by Prashant Singh, while written by Durjoy Dutta and Sumrit Shahi. The synopsis of the series reads: 'Pyar Paisa Profit is a coming-of-age drama about ambition, dreams, and the quiet costs of chasing them. Abhijeet Sharma has done everything right — topped every exam, avoided every distraction, and finally landed a creamy job at Fusion Funds. Leaving Delhi behind with excitement, he is all set for the maximum city. Mumbai dazzles and disorients — luxury hotels, business-class ambitions, and colleagues who smile with knives. One betrayal at a party shatters his illusions: here, trust is a liability. Garima, a colleague, sharp and unsentimental, becomes his mirror and foil. As Abhijeet rises, he also unravels — into debt, doubt, and disillusionment. But the high of success is so heady. In a city that rewards speed over soul, he must decide: protect the hollow, glossy life he's built, or risk it all for something real. Will money be the end of him or love show him the real profit.'

Pyaar Paisa Profit Season 1 Review: A promising premise that settles for mediocrity
Story: Four overachieving nerds land high-paying jobs in Mumbai, earning more than they ever imagined. As they dive into corporate life, reckless spending, and personal upheavals, they quickly discover that success comes with unexpected costs and moral compromises. Review: Pyar Paisa Profit, adapted from Durjoy Datta's novel Now That You're Rich… Let's Fall in Love, sets out with the right ingredients: ambition, emotional depth, and a fresh-faced cast. It starts with promise, building a compelling world of young professionals navigating Mumbai's cutthroat corporate landscape. Themes like toxic workplaces, fragile friendships, and moral ambiguity in the face of ambition are timely and relatable, particularly for Gen Z and millennial viewers. Directed by Prashant Singh and written by Durjoy Datta and Sumrit Shahi, this 11-part series opens on a strong note, painting a realistic picture of urban hustle and emotional vulnerability. It follows Abhijeet (Mihir Ahuja), a driven young man from Old Delhi who moves to Mumbai for a dream job. At Fusion Funds, a venture capital firm, he is joined by three others: Garima (Mahvesh), a sharp returnee from London; Saurabh (Ashish Raghav), a wealthy heir forging his own path; and Shruti (Shivangi Khedkar), who leaves behind a fiancé in Jaipur to chase her career goals. Together, their journey reflects the bittersweet path of adulthood, filled with ambition, compromise, and hard choices. Early episodes strike an effective balance between emotional depth and narrative momentum. Characters are thoughtfully developed, with layered backstories and real internal conflicts. The evolving tension between Abhijeet and Garima adds intrigue, while broader themes such as self-worth, ambition, and the masks we wear to survive lend the story emotional weight. The performances contribute significantly to the show's initial appeal. Mihir Ahuja brings charm and sincerity to the role of Abhijeet. RJ Mahvash makes an impressive debut, portraying Garima with a mix of poise and vulnerability. Neil Bhoopalam is reliably engaging as the unpredictable boss Rajat Thapar, while Ashish Raghav and Shivangi Khedkar round out the cast with convincing performances. However, the show struggles to maintain its initial spark. After a promising start, it gradually slips into predictable melodrama. The pacing falters, emotional arcs flatten, and conflicts begin to feel like recycled daily soap tropes. Instead of diving deeper, the narrative skims over complexities, reducing what could have been a hard-hitting workplace drama into a passable but forgettable one. Ultimately, Pyar Paisa Profit is a show with a relatable soul but an ordinary execution. It aims high, lands safely—but never quite soars.
