Rohit - Wednesday, Mar 26, 2025Mumbai, March 26, 2025 – The divorce of cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma has sparked fresh discussion, with a report from Aaj Tak pinpointing a disagreement over their living arrangements as the primary cause. The couple, who parted ways earlier this month, reportedly clashed over Chahal’s wish to settle with his parents in Haryana and Dhanashree’s preference to stay in Mumbai, leading to irreconcilable differences.
Chahal, now with Punjab Kings for IPL 2025 after being released by Rajasthan Royals, and Dhanashree finalized their divorce on March 20, 2025, at Mumbai’s Bandra Family Court. The proceedings concluded after a brief 45-minute counseling session, with the judge delivering the verdict at 4:30 PM. While initial reports suggested “compatibility issues” and an 18-month separation, Aaj Tak claims the Haryana-Mumbai divide was the tipping point.
Chahal, hailing from Jind, Haryana, reportedly wanted to live closer to his family, while Dhanashree, a Mumbai native with a thriving career as a dancer and influencer, favored staying in the city.
The couple’s journey began during the 2020 lockdown when Chahal, then sidelined from cricket, enrolled in Dhanashree’s online dance classes. Their virtual connection turned into a whirlwind romance, culminating in a December 2020 wedding in Gurugram. However, cracks appeared by January 2025, when they unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Chahal removed all traces of Dhanashree from his profile—moves that fueled speculation.
During the divorce proceedings, Chahal’s casual T-shirt reading “Be Your Own Sugar Daddy” raised eyebrows, while Dhanashree faced online backlash over unverified ₹60 crore alimony rumors, which her family dismissed as “fabricated.” Neither has directly confirmed the Aaj Tak report’s specifics, with Dhanashree’s lawyer, Aditi Mohani, previously noting the matter was sub judice and urging caution against misinformation.
Chahal, who fetched ₹18 crore from Punjab Kings at the IPL 2025 auction after Rajasthan Royals let him go, is now gearing up for the season, while Dhanashree continues her work in Mumbai. Their split ends a once-adored partnership, leaving fans to ponder the personal cost of their diverging paths.
