What did RJ Mahvash say about dating rumours with Chahal?

RJ Mahvash had posted a note on Instagram that read, "Some articles and speculations have been circulating around the internet. It's literally funny to see how baseless these rumours are. If you get seen with a person of the opposite gender, does that mean you are dating them? I'm sorry, what year is this? And how many people are you all dating then?"

“I have been patient for 2-3 days now, but I won't let any PR teams drag my name into this to cover up other people's images. Let people live in peace with their friends and family during tough times,” RJ Mahvash added.

How Did Social Media react?

Social media was quick to take a snapshot of the duo from live television and teased them saying, 'Pakde gayein' (Got Caught), or Chanchal Chahal (Playful Chahal). Some even questions, ‘who is she?’.
