Mumbai, March 21 – Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma, whose separation rumors had long been making headlines, are now officially divorced. The Bombay High Court has finalized the couple’s legal separation, bringing an end to their nearly four-year marriage.
Separation Happened Two Years After Marriage, Reveals Divorce Filing
According to details emerging from the couple’s divorce application, Yuzvendra and Dhanashree had been living separately since 2022, just two years after their December 2020 wedding. The duo first met during the COVID-19 lockdown and quickly bonded over common interests, leading to a whirlwind romance and marriage by the end of the year.
However, their relationship faced ongoing challenges. In a joint statement to the court, both Chahal and Dhanashree cited lack of mutual understanding as the primary reason for their decision. “We struggled with compatibility, and it became increasingly difficult to continue the relationship,” the couple stated.

As part of the mutual divorce agreement, Yuzvendra Chahal has agreed to pay a total of ₹4.75 crore as alimony to Dhanashree. Reports indicate that ₹2.37 crore has already been transferred, with the remaining sum to be paid as per court orders.
The divorce proceedings were initiated on February 5, 2025, in a family court, and were resolved swiftly given the mutual consent between both parties.
