The Beginning: A Love Story Born in Lockdown
Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma’s love story began during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.

Chahal, the star Indian cricketer, hired Dhanashree, a dancer and choreographer, for dance lessons. What started as a professional relationship soon turned romantic, and the couple tied the knot in December 2020.
But was it love, or was it something else?
The Cracks Begin to Show
1. Social Media Clues
Fans noticed the first red flags when the couple started unfollowing each other on Instagram and deleting pictures. Social media, the ultimate truth-teller, doesn’t lie. Their cryptic posts about God and blessings only added fuel to the fire.
- Chahal’s Post: “God has protected me more times than I can count.”
- Dhanashree’s Post: “From stressed to blessed.”
These weren’t just random quotes. They were cries for help, hidden in plain sight.
2. The 18-Month Separation
Reports confirm that Chahal and Dhanashree had been living separately for 18 months before finalizing their divorce. That’s a year and a half of silence, pain, and unanswered questions.
The Divorce Hearing: A 45-Minute Counseling Session That Changed Nothing
On February 20, 2025, the couple appeared at the Bandra Family Court for their final hearing. The judge advised them to attend a 45-minute counseling session, but it was clear that their minds were made up.
- Reason for Divorce: “Compatibility Issues.”
- Final Verdict: Divorce granted at 4:30 PM.
But let’s be real—was it really just “compatibility issues,” or was there more to the story?
The Shocking Alimony Demand: Rs. 60 Crore?!
Here’s where things get ugly. Rumors are swirling that Dhanashree demanded a staggering Rs. 60 crore as alimony.
- Chahal’s Net Worth: ₹45 Crore.
- Dhanashree’s Net Worth: ₹24 Crore.
If true, this demand is nothing short of outrageous. How does one justify asking for more than their partner’s entire net worth?
Public Backlash
Netizens didn’t hold back:
- “Dhanashree after taking all the fame and money after marrying Chahal demanding 60 crores??? Literally bhai wtf ?? Auratjaat se bhrosa hi uth gayaa!”
- “If a woman takes 60 crore just by getting married and then divorcing, how will people survive?”
- “This is true feminism.”
The anger is palpable, and it’s hard not to question Dhanashree’s true motives.
The Prateek Utekar Controversy
Adding fuel to the fire, choreographer Prateek Utekar found himself at the center of the storm after a photo of him and Dhanashree sharing a cozy hug went viral.

- Prateek’s Response: “World is too free to make stories and comment and DM with just one pic of what they see… Grow up, guys.”
But was it just a harmless photo, or was there more to it? The timing of this controversy raises serious questions.
Dhanashree’s Silence: Strength or Strategy?
Dhanashree broke her silence amidst the trolling, saying:
“I choose to focus on my truth and move forward, holding onto my values. The truth stands tall without the need for justification. Om Namah Shivaay.”

But is her silence a sign of strength, or is it a calculated move to avoid addressing the allegations head-on?
The Real Question: Was It Ever About Love?
Let’s face it—Dhanashree’s rise to fame coincided with her marriage to Chahal. From a dentist-turned-dancer to a social media influencer with a net worth of ₹24 crore, her career trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric.
- YouTube Fame: Dance videos catapulted her to stardom.
- Reality Show: Participated in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
- Brand Endorsements: Leveraged her marriage to Chahal for lucrative deals.
Was Chahal just a stepping stone in her quest for fame and fortune?
Chahal’s Side: A Man Wronged?
Chahal’s cryptic posts and his decision to stay silent speak volumes. Here’s a man who gave his all—his love, his name, and his wealth—only to be left heartbroken and financially drained.
- His Net Worth: ₹45 Crore.
- Alleged Alimony: ₹60 Crore.
If the rumors are true, Chahal is not just losing his wife—he’s losing everything he worked so hard to build.
The Final Verdict: A Story of Betrayal
This isn’t just a divorce—it’s a cautionary tale. A tale of how love can be overshadowed by greed, how fame can corrupt, and how silence can sometimes scream louder than words.
- Chahal: A man who trusted too much.
- Dhanashree: A woman whose motives remain questionable.
The truth may never come out, but one thing is clear—this divorce is a tragedy, not just for the couple, but for everyone who believed in their fairy-tale love story.
