Dhanashree Verma Breaks Silence on Divorce, Responds to Trolls Over Yuzvendra Chahal associating comments

August 20, 2025

Mumbai: Dhanashree Verma has addressed ongoing online abuse surrounding her divorce from cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, telling Humans of Bombay that labeling women is inappropriate and that trolls rarely influence her in the long run. She recalled facing criticism long before her marriage and said she cannot control the comments people leave on social media.

In discussing the emotional moment at the divorce final hearing, Dhanashree described a wave of emotion, saying she began to cry openly as the verdict neared while Chahal left the proceedings first. She emphasized her intent to stay focused on her own goals rather than engage in negative battles.

Chahal and Dhanashree, married in December 2020, filed for divorce by mutual consent in February 2025 and were seen at Bandra Family Court seeking a waiver of the six-month cooling‑off period, which the court denied. After about 18 months of separation, the couple finalized their separation on March 20, 2025.

Reports indicate Chahal paid ₹4.75 crore as alimony to Dhanashree.
