Imagine a fairy tale romance between a cricketer and a choreographer. They met on social media, fell in love, and got married in 2020. But, as it often does, reality set in. Yuzvendra Chahal, the Indian spinner, and Dhanashree Verma, his wife, are now divorced.
Their divorce case was heard in a family court in Bandra. The couple decided to part ways amicably. They didn’t need a Villain or a Hero – just two people who realized they wanted different things.
It all started when Chahal wanted to learn dance from Dhanashree. He reached out to her on social media, and they became friends. Eventually, they got married on December 22, 2020, in Gurgaon. But soon, things fell apart. They started living separately in June 2022.
What went wrong?
We might never know the exact reason for their divorce. But, in today’s world, relationships are like a Test match – they need patience, trust, and teamwork. Sometimes, even with the best efforts, things don’t work out.
Dhanashree removed Chahal’s surname from her Instagram profile a few months ago. That’s when the rumors of their divorce started. Chahal also deleted all their photos together from his Instagram account.
Their divorce was finalized on Thursday, with Chahal agreeing to pay Dhanashree around 4.75 crores as alimony. He has already paid 2.37 crores.
A new beginning
Chahal has moved on, not just in his personal life but also in his cricket career. He used to play for the Rajasthan Royals but will now don the Punjab Kings’ jersey. The team bought him for 18 crores in the mega auction. As for Dhanashree, only time will tell what’s next for her.
It’s a reminder that life is unpredictable, just like a cricket match. You can plan and prepare, but the outcome is never certain. Sometimes, you win, and sometimes you lose. But, it’s how you respond to those losses that defines you.
