Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma have officially ended their marriage, as confirmed by a family court in Mumbai on March 20, 2025. The couple, who had been living separately since June 2022, filed for divorce by mutual consent earlier this year.
Court Proceedings and Alimony Agreement
During the divorce hearing, Chahal turned heads by wearing a T-shirt that read “Be Your Own Sugar Daddy,” which netizens saw as a bold declaration of his newfound independence. The court finalized the divorce after skipping the usual six-month waiting period. This was because of Chahal’s upcoming schedule with the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. As part of the settlement, Chahal agreed to pay Dhanashree Rs 4.75 crore in alimony. He’s already handed over Rs 2.37 crore, with the rest due once the divorce is fully settled.
