Yuzvendra Chahal Divorce Rumours Update: Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, Dhanashree Verma, have unfollowed each other on Instagram, leading to speculations about their possible separation. However, neither Chahal nor Dhanashree has made any negative statements about their relationship so far. This has made it hard for fans to believe that the couple might part ways. Once known as a loving and inseparable duo, they have always been adored by their fans.
Chahal and Dhanashree’s First Meeting Online
The love story of Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma is nothing short of a fairy tale. During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, while everyone was spending time at home, Chahal decided to learn something new. He stumbled upon Dhanashree’s dance videos on social media, which sparked his interest in dance. He reached out to her for dance lessons, and that’s when their love story began.
At first, they were just friends, but over time, their conversations grew closer. Dhanashree revealed this in ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11,’ saying, “During the lockdown, all the cricketers were bored at home. Yuzi decided he wanted to learn dance. He saw some of my videos and wanted to be my student, and I agreed.”
What started as a dance lesson soon turned into love. Chahal shared in an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia that he was impressed by everything about Dhanashree, which led him to speak to his parents about her and express his desire to marry her, not just date.

Signs of Change in 2023
By 2023, signs of change began to emerge in their relationship. They were seen less together, and tensions in their relationship began to surface through social media. Although it was still manageable, rumours of marital discord started circulating in 2024. Chahal addressed the rumours, issuing a statement asking fans not to believe the speculations. However, by the end of 2024, their relationship seemed to have deteriorated, and rumours of a possible separation intensified when fans noticed that Chahal had deleted all the photos of Dhanashree from his Instagram.
Speculation and Chahal’s Instagram Story
The rumours were further fueled by an Instagram story posted by Chahal in January 2025, where he shared a note that appeared to reflect personal struggles. While he did not directly mention his marriage, his words seemed to convey his emotional turmoil.
The note read:
“Hard work highlights people’s character. You know your journey very well. You know your pain. You know what you have done to reach here. The world knows that you have always stood with self-respect. You have sweated to make your parents proud. Always stood with your chest held high like a proud son.”
He also added a folded hands emoji, which added to the speculation about his challenges.
