Indian cricket's leg-spin specialist Yuzvendra Chahal and actor-choreographer Dhanashree Verma have officially ended their three-year marriage through a mutual consent divorce petition, their legal representative confirmed on Saturday (February 22). Legal proceedings The divorce petition was filed at the Family Court in Bandra, Mumbai, with both parties reaching an amicable settlement. "Mr Chahal reached a settlement for obtaining Divorce by Mutual Consent with Mrs Verma," Nitin K Gupta, Chahal's lawyer, said in a statement to Hindustan Times. The matter remains under judicial consideration, with further legal steps in progress. Social media speculation The couple, who tied the knot in December 2020, had been subject to intense public scrutiny after they unfollowed each other on social media platforms. Speculation intensified when Dhanashree removed 'Chahal' from her Instagram handle, coinciding with the cricketer's cryptic post stating "New life loading." Their love Story The relationship began during the COVID-19 lockdown when Chahal approached Dhanashree, then a dance instructor, for lessons. "During the lockdown, no matches were happening and all cricketers were sitting at home and getting frustrated," Dhanashree had revealed during her appearance on 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 11'. "Yuzi decided one fine day that he wants to learn dance." Family statement Recent media reports about financial settlements were strongly refuted by Dhanashree's family. They dismissed claims about a ₹60 crore alimony demand as "baseless" and "deeply irresponsible." "No such amount has ever been asked, demanded or even offered," the family stated, urging media outlets to fact-check before publishing unverified information. Both parties have requested privacy during this period, with Chahal and his family declining to comment on details circulating in the media.Original Article by Dainik Bhaskar
