The cricketer’s remarks come amid widespread speculation fueled by social media videos and public appearances with Mahvash. Chahal emphasized that casual outings and stadium visits had been misinterpreted as romantic involvement. “When friends hang out, a video comes out. She’s a friend, there’s no relationship. Happy single,” he stated.
Chahal also humorously referenced a recent segment on The Great Indian Kapil Show, where comedians Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda teased him about a perceived relationship. Abhishek jokingly asked, “Why are you scared? I’ve seen it on Instagram. You’re not too scared,” while Sharda pointed out a lipstick mark on Chahal’s shirt, prompting the cricketer to laugh and respond, “India already knows.”
On his divorce from Dhanashree, Chahal expressed a mature perspective, underlining his desire to move forward. “That was a chapter of my life that is now over. I have moved on from that. I don’t want to get stuck in that place by talking about it. My life is going on, and her life is going on. May she be happy in her life, we are happy in our lives. Be happy, what do you gain in life by making someone sad?” he told Mashable India. Chahal added that the legal proceedings were finalized amicably, with closure achieved as soon as the case concluded in court.
The cricketer’s statements reflect a careful attempt to balance public curiosity with personal privacy. While rumors linking him with Mahvash have persisted—partly due to their shared appearances at cricket matches and public events—Chahal insists his focus remains on his professional and personal growth.
Fans and media observers have noted that Chahal’s openness in addressing both his divorce and dating rumors signals a shift toward transparency for public figures managing personal narratives in the social media age.
