Yuzvendra Chahal & Dhanashree Verma’s Divorce
Yuzvendra Chahal & Dhanashree’s Divorce Finalized After 2.5 Years
After nearly two and a half years of legal proceedings, Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and dancer Dhanashree Verma were finally granted a divorce by the Bandra family court in Mumbai on Thursday.
The divorce was granted on a joint petition for mutual consent, following a directive from the Bombay High Court to expedite the process. The court’s urgency was due to Chahal’s commitments to the upcoming IPL season, making his future availability uncertain.
Contradictions in the Divorce Petition
One of the most shocking revelations in the divorce petition is the timeline of their separation.
- The couple, who got married on December 23, 2020, claimed to have separated in June 2022, just 19 months into their marriage.
- However, Dhanashree’s Instagram post, where she wrote “730 days with my spinning star”, directly contradicts their claims.
This inconsistency has raised eyebrows, leading to widespread speculation.
Yuzvendra Chahal Ordered to Pay ₹4.75 Crores in Alimony
As part of the divorce settlement, the family court directed Chahal to pay a whopping ₹4.75 crores in alimony to Dhanashree Verma.
This financial settlement has become a hot topic among fans and netizens, with debates over the fairness of the ruling.
High Court Waives Mandatory Cooling-Off Period
Under the Hindu Marriage Act, couples seeking mutual consent divorce are required to undergo a mandatory 6-month cooling-off period.
However, the Bombay High Court granted a special waiver, citing Chahal’s IPL commitments and the couple’s firm decision to part ways.
This ruling allowed the divorce to be finalized much sooner than the usual legal timeframe.
Social Media Drama: T-Shirts, Songs & Relationship Rumors
Chahal’s T-Shirt Sparks Controversy
As Chahal appeared before the Bandra family court, his t-shirt choice created a massive buzz.
- The t-shirt read: “Be your own sugar daddy”
- Many netizens interpreted this as an indirect dig at his ex-wife, Dhanashree
This fueled social media debates, with fans speculating about Chahal’s true feelings regarding the divorce.
Dhanashree’s Song on Abusive Marriages
Adding to the drama, Dhanashree Verma released a song about abusive marriages just before the final court hearing.
- Fans believe this song was a cryptic message about her relationship with Chahal
- Others speculate it was just a coincidental release
Relationship Rumors with RJ Mahvash & Pratik Utekar
For months, rumors have circulated about:
- Chahal’s alleged closeness to RJ Mahvash
- Dhanashree’s rumored link with choreographer Pratik Utekar
While neither party has confirmed these claims, social media is buzzing with speculation over their personal lives post-divorce.
What’s Next for Chahal & Dhanashree?
