Yuzvendra Chahal to pay wife Dhanashree Verma Rs 60 crore alimony after divorce?

Yuzi and Dhanashree

Rumors about the divorce of Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, Dhanashree Verma, have been circulating on social media, sparking widespread speculation. As per TOI, reports suggest that the couple might be heading for a separation, with claims that Yuzvendra could be paying a hefty alimony of Rs 60 crore to Dhanashree. However, neither Yuzvendra nor Dhanashree has issued any official statement confirming or denying these rumors. The speculations began in late 2024 when people noticed that the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram, leading to discussions about potential trouble in their marriage. Further fueling the rumors, Yuzvendra reportedly deleted all their pictures together from his social media, while Dhanashree still kept some of them on her profile. Social media was quick to draw conclusions, leading to the buzz about their alleged separation and financial settlement.

The speculation about the Rs 60 crore alimony has been widely discussed on various platforms, though no credible source has verified the claim. Social media users have been debating whether such a high amount is even realistic, considering Yuzvendra’s cricket earnings and Dhanashree’s independent career as a choreographer and influencer. The couple, who got married in December 2020 after getting engaged in August the same year, were seen as one of the most admired pairs in the sports and entertainment industry. Their love story began during the COVID-19 lockdown when Yuzvendra came across Dhanashree’s dance videos on social media. He reached out to her for dance lessons, and their professional connection soon turned into a romantic relationship, leading to marriage. Over the years, they shared moments of their life together online, which made their apparent social media fallout even more noticeable to fans.

Dhanashree had previously addressed similar rumors in the past and dismissed them as baseless. She had called out “faceless trolls” on social media for spreading misinformation and had urged people not to believe everything they read online. Yuzvendra also shared a statement in January 2025, requesting people not to indulge in false speculations. He mentioned that such rumors were causing immense distress to him and his family, emphasizing that social media gossip should not be taken as fact. Despite these statements, discussions about their alleged separation have not died down, and recent reports linking Yuzvendra to RJ Mahvash have only intensified the buzz. The rumors started after RJ Mahvash posted pictures of a Christmas celebration in 2024, where Yuzvendra was present, leading to further speculations about his personal life.

Amidst all this, Yuzvendra remains focused on his cricketing career. He was recently bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore in IPL 2025, ensuring that he remains an integral part of the league. Meanwhile, Dhanashree is also busy with her professional commitments, which include dance projects and content creation. While social media continues to speculate about their personal lives, there is no official confirmation from either party regarding a divorce or the rumored alimony. Until either Yuzvendra or Dhanashree makes a formal statement, these claims remain unverified and should be treated as speculation rather than fact.
