Bengaluru: Actress Shehnaaz Gill’s repeated appearances at Royal Challengers Bengaluru matches during the ongoing IPL season have triggered online speculation linking her to RCB cricketer Devdutt Padikkal.

The rumours gained traction after Gill was spotted multiple times in the stands supporting Royal Challengers Bengaluru and engaging with fans during matches. Social media users have since begun linking her presence to the young batter, although neither Gill nor Padikkal has commented on the speculation.

IPL appearances spark online chatter

Shehnaaz Gill has been attending several matches involving RCB this season, drawing attention from fans and broadcasters alike. During one interaction at the stadium, she named her favourite players, saying, “I love Virat Kohli. I love Devdutt at play.”

Gill was also seen cheering enthusiastically for RCB from the stands, further fuelling curiosity among viewers following the matches closely.

Social media posts add to speculation

Adding to the buzz, Gill recently shared a playful reel captioned, “Dil RCB mein hai (My heart is with RCB)”, which was widely circulated among fan pages.

She also posted pictures wearing an RCB jersey after one of the team’s victories, which intensified discussions online. In another recent video, she wrote “Mazza aa gaya (We had fun)” while cheering during a match.

While these posts were seen by many as simple fan engagement, they have been repeatedly linked to ongoing speculation involving Padikkal.

No response from Gill or Padikkal
