Rumours about Dhanashree and Chahal’s divorce began after the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking widespread speculation. Dhanashree and Yuzvendra tied the knot in December 2020 in an intimate ceremony in Gurugram. The two met connected during the pandemic via social media when Chahal approached her for dance lessons.
The pair chose to part ways after four years of marriage.
Chahal and Dhanashree filed for divorce by mutual consent on February 5. However, on February 20, the family court refused to waive the mandatory six-month cooling-off period. As per their petition, the couple has lived apart since June 2022, 18 months after marriage.
The couple challenged the family court order of February 20 refusing to waive the cooling-off period.
The hearing was scheduled for today considering Chahal’s commitments with Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
