Watch: Yuzvendra Chahal’s 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' T-shirt sends shockwaves amidst Dhanashree Verma divorce

Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, Dhanashree Verma, have officially divorced, and the proceedings took place at the Bandra High Court, where both were present. However, what caught the public’s attention was Chahal’s T-shirt, which had the statement "Be Your Own Sugar Daddy" printed on it.

Chahal and Dhanashree tied the knot in December 2020 but separated in June 2022. On February 5, they filed a joint petition for divorce by mutual consent. However, under Section 13B(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, a family court can only consider such a plea after a mandatory six-month waiting period.

Hours before his divorce proceedings, Chahal was seen with his rumored girlfriend, RJ Mahvash, at a park in Andheri, Mumbai. The duo spent time together before Chahal headed to court for the final hearing of his divorce from Dhanashree Verma.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Pay ₹4.75 Crore in Alimony to Dhanashree Verma

Yuzvendra Chahal will pay ₹4.75 crore as alimony to Dhanashree Verma as part of their divorce settlement. Reports indicate that the 34-year-old has already paid ₹2.37 crore, with the remaining amount to be paid after the finalization of the divorce.

Earlier, it was reported that Dhanashree had sought ₹60 crore, but official documents confirmed the settled amount at ₹4.75 crore. The Bombay High Court granted an exemption from the mandatory six-month cooling-off period under the Hindu Marriage Act, fast-tracking their mutual consent divorce.

However, the court considered the partial payment of alimony as non-compliance, which influenced its decision to deny Chahal’s plea for the waiver.
