It was a tough day for choreographer Dhanashree Verma. She recently shared details about her divorce from star cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. Dhanashree admitted that she broke down in tears right there in court. It happened when the judge made their split official.
She described the moment as incredibly heavy and emotional. Inside, she felt completely shattered. She found it impossible to put those feelings into words. As the final decision was being read, she simply couldn’t hold back her tears. She cried loudly in front of everyone. Yuzvendra left the courtroom earlier, but Dhanashree stayed, still weeping.
The T-Shirt That Stirred Trouble
The public discussion around their split also touched on a controversial T-shirt. Dhanashree talked about it on the ‘Human of Bombay’ podcast. During the divorce process, Yuzvendra Chahal wore a shirt that read, ‘Be Your Own Sugar Daddy’. This choice of clothing caused quite a stir.
When asked about the shirt, Dhanashree pointed out a common problem. She said that blame for such public displays often falls on the woman. She had a sharp question for the situation. “Brother,” she reportedly said, “if you wanted to say something, a WhatsApp message would have done the trick. Why did you need to wear a T-shirt?”
Dhanashree emphasized the importance of maturity in difficult situations like divorce. She shared that she always aimed to protect her family’s good name. This is why she never made any comments meant to provoke. She feels society often teaches women to keep relationships going, no matter what. Because of this, the burden of a divorce often lands squarely on women.
During their marriage, Dhanashree says she stood by Chahal through thick and thin. She supported him at every turn. This included his cricket career and any personal struggles. She worked hard to be there for her partner. She believes that a healthy relationship needs both people to share feelings and responsibilities. Maybe this is why her deep pain came out so strongly when the divorce was finalized.
Chahal’s Side of the Story
Before Dhanashree’s recent comments, Yuzvendra Chahal also spoke out. He admitted in an earlier interview to faking a happy marriage for a long time. He said he was secretly dealing with his own mental health challenges. Balancing everything during that period was not easy for him.
Yuzvendra Chahal, a celebrated Indian cricketer, and Dhanashree Verma, a talented choreographer, are no longer together. They tied the knot in 2020. Their marriage ended with a divorce in 2025.
