Choreographer and digital creator Dhanashree Verma has revealed that her marriage to Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal faced serious issues from the beginning. Dhanashree alleged that Chahal was involved in an extramarital affair just two months after their December 2020 wedding, describing it as a betrayal.
Chahal and Dhanashree first connected during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. The spinner enrolled in her online dance classes, and their bond soon blossomed into love, leading to their marriage on December 22, 2020, in Gurugram. However, their marriage did not last long, and the couple is now divorced.
Dhanashree Verma Alleges Yuzvendra Chahal Had an Extramarital Affair
Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal were granted a divorce by the Bandra Family Court, Mumbai, on March 20, 2025. She is currently participating in the reality show Rise and Fall.
In a conversation with fellow contestant Kubbra Sait, Dhanashree revealed that she realized her marriage was doomed within the first year, sharing that she discovered Chahal’s extramarital involvement in the second month of their marriage, a revelation that shocked Kubbra.
“When did you realise in your relationship that, ‘Bhai, yeh nahi chal sakta, yeh mistake ho gaya hai abhi?’ (When did you realise in your relationship that, this can’t go on, and that it was a mistake?)," questioned Kubbra.
"First year. Caught him in the second month," Dhanashree said.

It Happened Quickly Because It Was Mutual - Dhanashree Verma
Earlier on the show, Dhanashree Verma spoke about rumours regarding alimony, calling them false. She told host Aditya Narayan that their divorce was finalized nearly a year ago and added that she prefers to share personal matters only with those who truly matter to her.
“Officially, it has been almost a year. It happened quickly because it was mutual, that’s why when people say alimony, it’s wrong," Dhanashree said.
"Just because I am not saying anything, you will go on saying anything? My parents have taught me to only justify to people whom I care about. Why waste time explaining those who don’t even know you?"
Following his divorce from Dhanashree, Yuzvendra Chahal was seen attending the Champions Trophy final in Dubai with RJ Mahvash, which sparked rumours of a romantic link. However, Mahvash has consistently stated that they are just friends.
I Know How Much I Stood Up for My Partner - Dhanashree Verma
On the Humans of Bombay podcast last month, Dhanashree said that she put a lot of effort into her marriage with Chahal. She added that she consistently supported her ex-husband in both the smallest and biggest matters.
"You have to put in an effort. I know how much I have stood up for my partner, and everybody has seen that. Like for the smallest or biggest things, I have been there. Maybe because of that, my emotions came out."
Dhanashree is set to make her Telugu film debut with the dance-centric movie Akasam Daati Vastaava. She previously appeared in a Bollywood dance number in Bhool Chuk Maaf alongside Rajkummar Rao.
On the other hand, Chahal last represented India in August 2023. He was included in the Men in Blue squad that won the 2024 T20 World Cup, but did not play any matches during the tournament.
