Shehnaaz Gill has once again grabbed headlines after her appearance at an IPL 2026 match sparked fresh dating rumours online. The actress attended the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders clash in Raipur, and her excited cheering moments quickly went viral on social media. Fans began linking her name with cricketer Devdutt Padikkal, triggering widespread speculation.
The buzz started after Shehnaaz shared a video from the stadium on her Instagram, where she was seen enjoying the match and supporting RCB. Soon after, social media platforms were flooded with theories about a possible romance between her and Padikkal. While some users fueled the rumours, others defended her, saying celebrities often attend matches simply as fans.
Shehnaaz Gill Sparks Dating Rumours With Devdutt Padikkal
The viral stadium clips led to a wave of mixed reactions on X (formerly Twitter). Some users questioned whether Shehnaaz Gill and Devdutt Padikkal were dating, while others called it unnecessary speculation.
One user wrote, “Hope the Reddit rumours aren’t true man. God save my boy (sic).” Another asked, “Do ppl think they are dating? Are they dating? (sic).”
At the same time, several fans came forward to support the actress. They pointed out that attending a match does not confirm any personal relationship and stressed that Shehnaaz has often expressed her support for RCB and cricket in general.
A user said, “So people shouldn’t go to stadium and support their fav teams now..otherwise they randomly assume some affair happening and accuse the girl and pray to save the guy.”
One more added, “She is an RCB supporter…can’t she simply enjoy watching her favorite team’s match? And FYI, her favourite cricketer is Virat, so plz stop puking everywhere.”
During her visit to Raipur, Shehnaaz Gill also met former cricketer Ravi Shastri. She later shared a photo with him on Instagram and wrote, “Really love meeting Ravi Shashtri sir… Such a fun and kind soul.”
