Radio jockey and content creator Mahvashfound herself at the centre of an online storm after being accused by social media users of benefiting professionally from her alleged association with Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal.
Mehwish, who has been linked to Chahal since late last year, took to Instagram earlier this week to post a strongly worded video in response to personal attacks and negative comments regarding her professional accomplishments. This comes in the wake of Chahal's recent divorce from Indian choreographer Dhanashree Verma, which has revived interest in the RJ's ties to the cricketer.
In the viral video, Mahvashdirectly addressed comments claiming that Chahal had "set her career," sharing screenshots of the remarks. One such comment read, “Yuzi Bhai has set her career,” to which she responded: “I have been in this industry since 2019.”
Mahvashfurther strengthened her rebuttal by sharing a collection of images and clips from her professional journey. This included behind-the-scenes glimpses from the set of the film Section 108, which she produced and featured veteran Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
To critics questioning her knowledge of cricket, Mahvashremarked, “I’ve been hosting cricket events since you were born. Don’t read forwarded messages from WhatsApp University.”

Another widely circulated comment accused her of lacking talent. In reply, Mahvashstated, “I have written two books, I am the daughter of a scientist, and my talent is on display on Amazon.”
Listing her career achievements, Mahvashidentified herself as a radio jockey, content creator, actress, host, producer, and writer. She also recently starred as the lead in the Prime Video film Pyaar Paisa Profit.
Concluding her message, Mahvashaddressed her trolls by saying, “Your age is not as long as my career has been. So speak wisely in the future.”
Relationship rumours persist
Reports of a romantic relationship between Mahvashand Yuzvendra Chahal began circulating during the Champions Trophy last year, and intensified during the 2025 IPL season, where Mahvashwas frequently seen attending matches involving Chahal’s team, Punjab Kings.
While neither Mahvashnor Chahal have publicly confirmed or denied the speculation, their public appearances and social media interactions have continued to fan rumours.
In an IPL interview, Mahvashhad brushed off the relationship talk by stating she was “single and happy,” a comment that did little to quiet public curiosity.
The rumours further intensified following Chahal’s divorce from Dhanashree Verma, which was officially announced in March 2025.
