What Taniya Chatterjee Said

Speaking to India Forums, Chatterjee said the mention of Chahal came up during a casual conversation with paparazzi about the Indian Premier League.

“It was a casual conversation. I was talking to the paps about IPL. I love and understand the sport fully, as my father has taught me cricket since my toddler days. So then, the paps and I were having a lot of talks about it while they were capturing me about if I am following IPL this year, who is my favourite cricketer, just like friends do. I responded saying, Shreyas Iyer is my favourite, and I find him cute, but I am some other cricketer's favourite, it seems,” India Forums quoted her as saying.

She explained that while discussing cricket and favourite players, she mentioned that Shreyas Iyer was her favourite cricketer. During the conversation, she added that another cricketer had called her “cute”, which led to the discussion about Chahal.

Chatterjee also said she initially did not notice the messages and only saw them later when she checked her direct messages. She added that Chahal had responded to her stories more than once, but she did not pay attention at first because she was busy with work.
