In a development that has sent shockwaves through the cricketing and entertainment worlds, Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma have reportedly finalized their divorce after years of speculation about their relationship. According to multiple media outlets, including Times of India, the couple appeared before the Bandra Family Court in Mumbai on February 20, 2025, where their divorce by mutual consent was legally granted, bringing an end to a marriage that once captivated fans with its charm and vibrancy.
A love story that captured hearts
Chahal, a key spinner for the Punjab Kings in the IPL, tied the knot with Dhanashree, a popular choreographer and YouTuber, on December 22, 2020, in a private ceremony in Gurugram. Their relationship had been a public favorite, blending the worlds of sports and entertainment. Dhanashree’s dance videos often featured Chahal’s playful cameos, while his affectionate social media posts about her painted a picture of a couple deeply in love. From their engagement announcement to their wedding photos, the duo’s journey was one that fans followed with admiration.
However, cracks in their seemingly perfect relationship began to surface over time. Rumors of trouble first emerged in 2022 when Dhanashree briefly removed “Chahal” from her Instagram bio, and the couple unfollowed each other on the platform. Though they reconciled shortly after, dismissing the rumors as baseless, the whispers never fully died down.

The final chapter: Divorce proceedings
Fast forward to early 2025, and the speculation reached a boiling point. Reports suggest that Chahal and Dhanashree had been living separately for the past 18 months, a detail that came to light during their court proceedings. On February 20, the couple reportedly appeared before the Bandra Family Court for a mandatory counseling session—an effort to explore reconciliation. However, sources indicate that both parties cited “compatibility issues” as the irreparable reason for their split. Following the session, the judge granted their divorce by mutual consent, effectively dissolving their marriage of over four years.
The legal proceedings, while swift, have left fans and followers stunned. Neither Chahal nor Dhanashree has released an official statement confirming the divorce, which has led to some lingering uncertainty. However, their recent social media activity—or lack thereof—seems to corroborate the reports. The couple had already deleted most of their shared photos from Instagram, and cryptic posts from both have fueled further discussion.
