Actress and model Khushi Mukherjee found herself in the limelight online after she made an allegation regarding Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav during a recent media interaction. Her remarks, which quickly went viral on social media, sparked debate and strong reactions from users across platforms.
Speaking to reporters, Khushi claimed that Suryakumar had written to her often in the past. However, she emphasized that there was never any romantic relationship between them and made it clear that she did not wish to be associated with cricketers in any way. In a video shared by Kiddaan Entertainment, she said that she does not want any association or linking rumors regarding her name and athletes.
“I don’t want to date any cricketer. There are many cricketers who message me. Suryakumar Yadav used to text me a lot but now we don’t talk much and I don’t want to be associated,” she said, adding that she doesn’t like being dragged into speculative narratives.
The statement sparked immediate reactions online, with many social media users questioning the timing and intent of her comments. Several critics accused her of seeking attention by invoking the name of one of India’s most prominent white-ball cricketers, while others called for restraint in jumping to conclusions without corroboration.
Suryakumar Yadav, who has been married to Devisha Shetty since 2016, has not yet issued any public response to Khushi Mukherjee’s remarks.
For those unfamiliar with her work, Khushi Mukherjee has been in the entertainment industry for over a decade. She made her debut with the Tamil film Anjal Thurai in 2013 and later appeared in Telugu and Hindi projects. She gained wider recognition after participating in reality shows such as MTV’s Splitsvilla, which helped increase her visibility among younger audiences.
Known for her outspoken nature and bold social media presence, Khushi has built a significant following on the internet and has often made headlines for her candid conversations and strong opinions. Her latest comments put her back in the spotlight, this time amid a broader conversation about celebrity liability and viral claims.
The controversy comes at a time when Suryakumar Yadav has been under scrutiny for his recent performances in T20I cricket. The Indian captain and his wife were also recently seen visiting the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala on the occasion of Vaikuntha Ekadashi, a visit that was widely publicised.
As of now, the matter remains confined to online discourse, with no official statement from the cricketer addressing the allegations.
