The controversy began after actress Taniya Chatterjee publicly claimed that Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal sent her a message on Instagram. During an interaction with paparazzi, she displayed what she described as screenshots of the alleged conversation.

According to Taniya Chatterjee, the message sent by Chahal read, “Aap cute ho.” She showed her phone to photographers, claiming the message came directly from the cricketer’s account. The clip quickly circulated on social media, drawing widespread attention.

No official response from Chahal

As of now, Yuzvendra Chahal has not issued any official statement confirming or denying the claims. The lack of response has led to speculation online, with fans and followers waiting for clarification.

Taniya Chatterjee is an Indian actress and model known for her roles in OTT web series, including Gandhi Baat (Season 4) and Class of 2020. She has built a presence on social media through her acting projects and public appearances.

The controversy has gained traction due to Chahal’s popularity as a leading spinner and his active presence in the Indian Premier League. His personal life has also been under public attention in recent years, which has amplified interest in the claims.

Chahal’s performance in IPL 2026

Despite the off-field controversy, Chahal continues to perform strongly in IPL 2026, where he is playing for Punjab Kings. He remains one of the tournament’s leading wicket-takers and a key figure in his team’s bowling lineup.

It is important to note that the alleged screenshots have not been independently verified. Without confirmation from Chahal or supporting evidence from official sources, the claims remain unverified.

The situation is likely to depend on whether Chahal responds publicly or if further evidence emerges. Until then, the controversy remains largely confined to social media discussions and media reports.
