A fresh controversy has emerged at the intersection of Bollywood and Indian cricket after actress and reality TV personality Khushi Mukherjee made startling claims involving India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, Mukherjee alleged that the star cricketer used to message her frequently in the past—remarks that have since triggered widespread discussion across social media and news platforms.

Khushi Mukherjee makes astonishing claim about Suryakumar Yadav

Mukherjee’s comments came during a media interaction at a clinic inauguration event, where she was questioned about her personal life and the recurring speculation around celebrity–sportsperson relationships. What began as a routine query quickly turned into a headline-grabbing moment when the actress addressed rumours of link-ups with professional athletes.

Responding candidly, Mukherjee asserted that she has no interest in dating cricketers and distanced herself from any perceived associations.

“I don’t want to date any cricketer. There are so many cricketers after me,” she told reporters, setting the tone for what followed.

The most striking part of Mukherjee’s response was her direct reference to the Indian batter.

“Suryakumar Yadav used to message me a lot. Now we don’t talk much, and I don’t even want to get associated,” said Khushi, making it clear that any communication, according to her, belongs to the past.

Mukherjee further stressed that there is currently no contact between the two and that she is keen to avoid being drawn into speculation or link-up narratives.

“I don’t like any link-ups with me, so there really isn’t any,” she added, underlining her desire to keep her personal life away from public conjecture.

No response from cricketer’s camp

As of now, there has been no official response or clarification from Suryakumar or his representatives regarding the actress’s claims. The Indian cricketer, who has been one of the most prominent faces in white-ball cricket and a key leader in India’s T20 setup, is known for keeping his personal life largely private.

In the absence of a response, the comments remain unverified claims made during a public interaction, though they have already sparked intense debate online. Fans and commentators have been divided, with some urging restraint and others calling for clarity from the concerned parties.
