Yuzvendra Chahal opens up on why his marriage didn’t work out

He admitted that relationships need effort and understanding from both sides. But when two people have different personalities and goals, it can be challenging to make things work. Their busy schedules left little time for each other, and gradually, the distance between them grew.

Chahal said that he was so busy with many things that he couldn’t focus on the relationship. Day by day, it became harder, and he started feeling like giving up. He further explained, “A relationship is like a compromise. If one gets angry, the other has to listen. Sometimes the nature of two people does not match. This was going on for 1-2 years.

Two ambitious people can stay together. Everyone has their own lives, everyone has their own goals. As a partner, you have to support it. You are working for something for 18-20 years; you cannot leave it for a relationship.”

Yuzvendra Chahal Breaks down in reaction to cheating allegations during divorce

He said that it was a tough phase for him when some people wrongly accused him of cheating during his divorce. It was hurtful for him, as he has always been loyal and caring in relationships.

The leg-spinner added that his parents have taught him how to respect women, and he knows how to treat people with kindness, having grown up with his two sisters since childhood. He felt it was unfair that people made false claims without knowing the truth, just to get views.

Chahal added, “I think when my divorce happened, people alleged I was a cheater. I have never cheated in my life, I am not that kind of person. You won't find anyone more loyal than me. I think from my heart for my close ones, always, I do not demand, I always give. When people don't know anything, but they keep blaming me, so you start thinking [otherwise].”
