In a recent development that has captured the attention of social media, Taniya Chatterjee has alleged that Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal sent her a direct message on Instagram, referring to her as ‘cute’. This claim was made public when Chatterjee showcased the alleged messages during an interaction with paparazzi.
The specific message from Chahal read, “Aap cute ho,” which translates to “You are cute” in English. This revelation has sparked widespread discussion and criticism online, with many netizens labeling Chahal’s behavior as ‘cheap and shameless’.
Chahal, who last represented the Indian national team in 2023, is currently not part of India’s active squad. He was a member of the Indian team that triumphed in the 2024 T20 World Cup and is set to play for Punjab Kings in IPL 2026. Known for being among the leading wicket-takers in the IPL, Chahal’s professional achievements are now overshadowed by this controversy.
Chatterjee, recognized for her roles in shows like Gandii Baat and Titliyaan, has brought attention to her claims amid Chahal’s ongoing public scrutiny, particularly following his divorce from Dhanashree Verma in 2025. The timing of these allegations raises questions about the implications for both individuals involved.
Despite the uproar, Chahal has yet to issue an official statement regarding the claims made by Chatterjee. The silence from the cricketer has only fueled further speculation and criticism from the public.
As the situation unfolds, many are left wondering about the impact of this incident on Chahal’s career and personal life. The public’s reaction highlights the intense scrutiny athletes face, particularly when their personal lives intersect with their professional personas.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the authenticity of the messages shared by Chatterjee. However, the incident has undeniably ignited a firestorm of commentary across social media platforms.
