Yuzvendra Chahal, Dhanashree Verma Mutually Dissolve Marriage After 4 Years, Confirms Lawyer
Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma have officially ended their marriage through a mutual consent divorce!
Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma have officially ended their marriage through a mutual consent divorce, finalized on March 20, 2025. The Bandra Family Court in Mumbai granted the divorce, with both parties present for the proceedings.
The couple, who married in December 2020, had been living separately since June 2022, citing compatibility issues as the reason for their separation. On February 5, 2025, they jointly filed for divorce, requesting the court to waive the mandatory six-month cooling-off period typically required under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. Initially, the Family Court denied this request due to partial fulfillment of the alimony agreement. Chahal had agreed to pay 4.75 crore as alimony but had only transferred 2.37 crore at that time.
Recognizing Yuzvendra Chahal’s commitments to the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the Bombay High Court intervened on March 19, 2025, directing the Family Court to expedite the divorce proceedings. The High Court acknowledged that the couple had been living apart for over two and a half years and had mutually agreed upon the alimony terms during mediation.
On the day of the final hearing, both Chahal and Verma arrived separately at the court, maintaining a low profile. Chahal was seen wearing a mask and refrained from commenting to the media, while Verma, accompanied by her mother, assisted a photographer who had fallen while trying to capture her arrival.
Following the court’s decision, Advocate Nitin Kumar Gupta, representing Chahal, confirmed the divorce, stating, “The court has granted the decree of divorce. The court has accepted the joint petition of both parties. The parties are no longer husband and wife.”
