How Did the Rumours Start?
It all began with a reel Shehnaaz shared earlier this month, captioned “Dil RCB main hai” (My heart is with RCB). Fans and netizens — always sharp-eyed — immediately started reading between the lines. Was this just cricket fandom, or something more?
The speculation snowballed when Shehnaaz was spotted at the stadium cheering enthusiastically for the Bengaluru squad at back-to-back IPL matches. She also dropped pictures of herself beaming in an RCB jersey after the team topped the scoreboard — and the internet collectively lost its mind.
A report citing link-up rumours added more fuel to the fire, though crucially, neither Shehnaaz nor Devdutt has addressed the speculation or confirmed any romantic connection.

Fans are already debating whether Shehnaaz and Devdutt could be the next iconic pairing from these two glamorous worlds.
