Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma have officially finalized their divorce, marking the end of their marriage after a period of separation.
The couple’s divorce proceedings were completed at the Bandra Family Court on February 20, 2025, where both parties were present to finalize the legal formalities.
Details of the Divorce Proceedings
The news of Chahal and Dhanashree’s divorce had been circulating on social media for months, with both individuals hinting at their separation through cryptic posts. However, it was only recently that the formalities were completed.
Reports indicate that the couple had been living separately for the past 18 months prior to the final hearing.
During the court session, the judge advised them to undergo a 45-minute counseling session, after which they expressed their mutual consent to part ways due to “compatibility issues.”
At approximately 4:30 PM on February 20, the judge officially granted their divorce, declaring that they were no longer legally wedded.
Following the hearing, both Chahal and Dhanashree shared reflective messages on their social media accounts.
Chahal posted a message expressing gratitude for divine protection and guidance, while Dhanashree emphasized themes of faith and turning worries into blessings.
Financial Aspects of the Divorce
Reports are suggesting that Yuzvendra Chahal may be required to pay a substantial alimony amounting to around ₹60 crores to Dhanashree Verma.
While this figure has not been officially confirmed, it highlights the financial implications of their separation.
Dhanashree, who has a reported net worth of ₹24 crores as of 2025, has built her career through brand endorsements and her popularity as a dancer and choreographer.
Chahal himself has an estimated net worth of ₹45 crores, bolstered by his successful cricket career and endorsements.
