Yuzvendra’s Divorce From Dhanashree Verma
Chahal and Dhanashree Verma were married in December 2020 in Gurugram. They met during the COVID-19 pandemic when Chahal sought dance lessons from her. The couple separated in June 2022 and filed for mutual divorce in February 2023, which was granted in March 2023.
During the proceedings, rumours circulated that Dhanashree was seeking ₹60 crore in alimony. However, her family clarified that these claims were untrue.
Last year, Chahal explained his viral T-shirt on Raj Shamani’s YouTube channel, saying, “Mereko nahi karna tha drama (I didn’t want to do any drama). I just wanted to give one message and maine woh de diya (which I gave through the T-shirt).”
