In a candid conversation on the Human of Bombay podcast, Dhanashree Verma provided insights into her divorce from Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. She revealed her emotional state during the divorce proceedings, sharing that she wept openly in court, even though she had anticipated the decision. Verma also addressed Chahal’s choice of clothing on the final day, specifically his “Be your own sugar daddy” T-shirt. Describing the day of the divorce, Verma said that despite her mental preparation, she was overcome by emotion, leading her to cry in front of the people present. She further stated that she was “howling” and that Chahal was the first to leave the courtroom. She spoke about the tendency of people to place blame. Furthermore, she spoke on the importance of commitment in a marriage, highlighting her support for her partner. She concluded by emphasizing that one’s actions on a day like that are a reflection of their character. Chahal and Verma married in 2020 in Gurugram. By 2023, however, their relationship had become strained. They used social media less frequently and their posts became indirect. They filed a joint petition for divorce in February 2025 and ultimately separated.
