Speculations are rife on the future of Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma's marriage as the duo unfollowed each other on Instagram. The Indian spin bowler also reportedly removed some of their couple photos from his social media, further strengthening theories suggesting cracks had developed in his relationship with Dhanashree Verma, a social media sensation and dancer.

Meanwhile, Chahal was linked with RJ Mahvash by some rumour mongers who claimed the duo to be dating. During Christmas, RJ Mahvash posted a photo on Instagram that showed Chahal enjoying lunch in her company. “Christmas lunch con familiar,” Mahvash titled the album.

However, Mahvash on Friday decided enough was enough and hit out at the baseless reports on the internet. If two people of the opposite gender are seen together, they need not be essentially dating, she pointed out while asking "what year is this?". She won't let PR teams drag use her to cover up other people's image, she added.

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF RJ Mahvash's Instagram story:

Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It's literally funny to see how baseless are these rumours. If you get SEEN with an opposite gender, so you are dating that person? I am sorry what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then? I have been patient since 2-3 days now but I won't let any PR teams drag my name into this to cover up other people's image. Let people live in peace with their friends and family in tough times.
