As of today, February 20, 2025, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma have finalized their divorce, with the remaining legal formalities completed at the Family Court in Bandra, Mumbai.
The couple, who had been the subject of divorce rumors for several weeks, appeared before the court to officially conclude their marriage.
Background of the Relationship
Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma first met during the COVID-19 lockdown when Chahal sought dance lessons from Verma.
Their relationship blossomed quickly, leading to their engagement in August 2020 and subsequent marriage in December of the same year.
However, over time, speculation about their marital discord began to surface, particularly after both parties unfollowed each other on social media platforms.
Legal Proceedings
The couple was summoned to the Family Court today at 4:00 PM to complete the final proceedings.
Reports indicate that the decision to part ways was made through mutual consent.
A lawyer present at the court confirmed that all legal formalities were concluded without any complications.
Following the proceedings, both Yuzvendra and Dhanashree received their official divorce certificate.
Public Speculation and Reactions
In recent weeks, rumors regarding their separation had intensified, fueled by social media activity and public speculation.
Neither Yuzvendra nor Dhanashree had publicly addressed these rumors until now.
However, prior to the finalization of their divorce, Chahal had expressed his desire for privacy regarding personal matters.
He requested fans not to indulge in speculation that has caused immense pain to him and his family.
Dhanashree had also criticized “faceless trolls” for spreading baseless claims about their relationship.
The couple’s silence on the matter only added fuel to the fire as fans speculated about potential reasons for their split.

Financial Implications
Amidst the divorce proceedings, discussions have emerged regarding potential alimony payments.
Reports suggest that Yuzvendra may be required to pay a substantial amount in alimony to Dhanashree.
Some sources speculate that this figure could reach around INR 60 crores. If true, this would significantly boost Dhanashree’s net worth, which is already estimated at approximately INR 24 crores.
Moving Forward
As both individuals navigate this new chapter in their lives, it remains to be seen how they will manage their public personas post-divorce.
Yuzvendra continues his cricket career with Punjab Kings in IPL 2025, while Dhanashree remains active in her choreographic endeavors and social media presence.
The conclusion of this high-profile marriage serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by public figures when personal matters become public spectacles.
As they move forward separately, both Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma will likely focus on their respective careers and personal growth.
