Indian cricket’s famous spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, popular choreographer Dhanashree Verma, are now officially separated. Their marriage, which started like a fairytale love story, has now become a sad story. Both finalized their divorce on 20 March 2025. As soon as this news came, there was a stir among the fans on social media.
A digital friendship that turned into love
Chahal and Dhanashree’s love story was quite interesting. They met through a virtual dance class. During the lockdown, when people were at home and learning new hobbies, Chahal started taking online dance lessons from Dhanashree. While giving dance classes, their friendship turned into love.
In August 2020, both of them announced their engagement and, just a few months later, got married in a private ceremony in December 2020. It was a dream wedding, attended by many big names from the cricket and entertainment industry.
The distance increased
Everything seemed fine for a few months after the marriage, but slowly problems started coming between the two. Earlier, both were very active with each other on social media, but then slowly their posts started decreasing. Dhanashree removed the surname “Chahal” from her Instagram handle, which led to rumors among fans.
Chahal also deleted many of his photos and posted cryptic messages on social media. Seeing all this, people started suspecting that something was fishy in their marriage.

Official Announcement and Court Hearing
When the media started asking them about their marriage, one day both of them officially accepted their separation. They cited compatibility issues as the reason for their divorce. They said that both of them were not happy with each other and hence it would be better to stay apart.
The divorce of both of them was heard in Bandra Family Court on 20 March 2025. Both of them had filed a joint petition and the court approved their divorce without any delay. With this, Chahal and Dhanashree officially separated from each other.
Dhanashree’s anger in front of paparazzi
When Dhanashree came out of the court, the paparazzi surrounded her and started asking many questions. Seeing this, Dhanashree became very uncomfortable and angrily said, “What are you people doing? What kind of behavior is this?” This video of her went viral and people on social media started reacting to it in different ways.
Some people said that paparazzi should respect the privacy of celebrities, while some people said that if you are a public figure then you should be ready for such questions.
Alimony rumors and truth
During the divorce, another controversy came to the fore. According to some reports, Dhanashree had demanded 60 crore rupees alimony from Chahal. As soon as this was heard, debates started on social media. But Dhanashree denied all these rumors. He said, “We both already respect each other. All these rumors are just unnecessary gossip.”
It was clear that both of them got divorced of their own free will and there was no talk of any kind of financial settlement.
Chahal and Dhanashree’s new journey
After the divorce, now both of them are starting their new life. Chahal has joined his team for IPL 2025 and is fully focusing on his performance. On the other hand, Dhanashree is focusing on her dance projects and YouTube content.
Both have requested the media and fans to respect their personal life and stop unnecessary speculations.
Conclusion: Is divorce the right turn?
Every relationship has its own story. The journey of love, friendship, marriage, and separation is different for everyone. Chahal and Dhanashree showed love and respect for each other, and hence they made a sensible decision. Divorce is not just an outcome but can also be the beginning of a new journey.
Fans should respect their personal choices and wish them all the best for their future. This story teaches us that sometimes, separating from each other can be a better solution.
