Dhanashree and Yuzvendra
Choreographer Dhanashree Verma, who is currently a part of Ashneer Grover's reality show Rise and Fall, has been grabbing attention for her controversial stint and statements about her divorce from cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. She recently accused him of cheating on her within two months of their marriage. The cricketer has now responded to the claims, making it clear that this will be the last time he addresses their separation.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Chahal said, "I am a sportsperson, and I do not cheat. Agar koi two months mein hi cheat karta toh itna lamba relationship chalta kya? For me, this chapter is over - done and dusted. I have moved forward with my life, and everyone else should too."
Yuzvendra further explained that their marriage lasted over four years. "Hamari shaadi 4.5 years thi. Agar two months mein cheat hua hota toh kaun continue karta? Main pehle bhi bol chuka hoon ki main past se nikal chuka hoon. But some people are still stuck there⦠unka ghar mere naam se chal raha hai, toh they can continue doing that. I am not concerned or affected," he said.
Chahal added, "Main iss chapter ko bhula chuka hoon. Koi kuch bhi keh deta hai, and social media pe chal jaata hai. 100 baatein chalti hain, but the truth is only one, and those who matter, know it. Mere liye chapter closed hai. I don't want to address it ever again." The 35-year-old cricketer also mentioned that he is now focused on his life and career.
The controversy began after a clip from Ashneer Grover's Rise and Fall went viral, featuring a conversation between Kubbra Sait and Dhanashree Verma. In the video, Kubbra asked, "When did you realise your relationship wasn't working and felt it was a mistake?" To this, Dhanashree replied, "In the first year - I caught him in the second month."
Chahal and Dhanashree tied the knot in 2020 before parting ways in 2024. After their separation, the cricketer is rumoured to be dating actress RJ Mahvash. The two have often been spotted celebrating special occasions together.
