Khushi Mukherjee Clarifies Relationship Status with Suryakumar Yadav

Bollywood actress Khushi Mukherjee has moved to clear the air around her recent comments involving India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav. Speaking exclusively to NDTV, she addressed the widespread speculation that had erupted following her earlier remarks about the cricketer. The clarification comes at a crucial time as India prepares for the T20 World Cup less than six weeks away.

Setting the Record Straight on Friendship

In her statement, Khushi categorically denied any romantic involvement with Suryakumar Yadav, emphasizing that her previous words were taken out of context and sensationalized. She revealed that her Instagram account had been hacked and stressed that she and the Indian captain are no longer in contact. Khushi explained they had previously spoken as friends but maintained that no communication has occurred even after the recent controversy erupted.

Supporting Team India Despite the Drama

Despite the controversy, Khushi expressed strong support for Suryakumar Yadav and the Indian cricket team ahead of the upcoming World Cup. She recalled how the cricketer had once spoken to her as a friend following a defeat, demonstrating the nature of their casual acquaintance. Her supportive stance suggests the incident was not intended to create any discord within the team setup.

The controversy began after Khushi’s striking response at a recent event, where she claimed several cricketers had approached her and mentioned that Suryakumar had messaged her in the past. Khushi, known for her television appearances in shows like MTV Splitsvilla and Kahat Hanuman Jai Shri Ram, has reiterated she has no intention of dating a cricketer. The timing of this incident, coinciding with Suryakumar’s temple visit with his wife Devisha, only intensified speculation before her clarification.
