'Are bhai, WhatsApp kar deta' - Dhanashree Verma's scathing response to Yuzvendra Chahal's viral T-shirt during divorce

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 16:59:35 GMT

Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal’s ex-wife, Dhanashree Verma, recently took a swipe at the cricketer over a T-shirt he wore during their divorce proceedings. The T-shirt, which carried the slogan “be your own sugar daddy,” quickly went viral online and stirred reactions. Dhanashree, while speaking on the Humans of Bombay podcast, criticized Chahal for what she called a “stunt” during such a sensitive period. She revealed how the act deeply affected her emotionally at a time when she was already going through turmoil.

The choreographer further opened up about her emotional breakdown during the divorce verdict. She admitted she was left howling and crying as the decision was announced, describing it as one of the most painful moments of her life. Chahal and Dhanashree married in December 2020 after falling in love during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, their marriage could not stand the test of time, and the two officially parted ways earlier this year, ending their nearly four-year relationship.

"You know that people are going to blame you. Before I had even known that this T-shirt stunt had happened, we were all aware that people were going to blame me for this. Are bhai, WhatsApp kar deta. T-shirt kyu pehna hai? (You should have sent it on WhatsApp. Why wear the T-shirt?). I still remember when I was standing there and the verdict was about to be given. Even though we were so well-prepared mentally, I got so emotional. I started howling in front of everybody. I couldn't even express what I was feeling at that point. I just remember that I just kept crying, I was just howling and crying. Of course! All of that happened, and he (Chahal) walked out first," Dhanashree said in an interview.

You have to put in an effort: Dhanashree

Dhanashree Verma reflected on her marriage with Yuzvendra Chahal, saying that she had always put in every possible effort to stand by her partner. She mentioned that she had supported him in both big and small matters, and people had witnessed her commitment throughout their relationship. Verma explained that her emotional outburst during the divorce was a result of the deep effort she had invested, adding that how one behaves on such a day is a true reflection of their character. Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal had an impressive campaign in IPL 2025 with Punjab Kings (PBKS). Playing 14 matches, the leg-spinner picked up 16 wickets at an average of 26.87 and an economy rate of 9.55, including two four-wicket hauls, showcasing his continued impact in the tournament.

"You have to put in an effort. I know how much I have stood up for my partner, and everybody has seen that. Like for the smallest or biggest things, I have been there. Maybe because of that, my emotions came out. How you behave on that particular day is a reflection of you as a person," Dhanashree added.

"Just howling..."- Dhanashree Verma breaks silence on divorce with Yuzvendra Chahal

The Indian leg spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal, attended his final divorce with Dhanashree Verma with a T-shirt that read ‘be your sugar daddy.’ Verma confirmed her surprise at the message and felt that if Chahal had to convey something to her, it should have been done more privately rather than making it public to everyone.

During her recent podcast for the Humans of Bombay on YouTube, Dhanashree revealed that he had an emotional breakdown in the court during the final hearing. She also broke the silence on the entire divorce incident as she shed light on the incident of the separation for the very first time in public with Yuzvendra Chahal.

“I still remember when I was standing there and the verdict was about to be given. Even though we were so well-prepared mentally, I got so emotional. I started howling in front of everybody. I couldn't even express what I was feeling at that point. I just remember that I just kept crying, I was just howling and crying. Of course! All of that happened, and he (Chahal) walked out first.” Dhanashree expressed.

The Hayana-born leg spinner has overall picked up 121 ODI wickets in 69 innings at 27.13, besides picking up 96 T20I scalps in 79 innings at an average of 25.09 and an economy rate of just over eight. The last international assignment for the veteran came in August 2023 against the West Indies in Florida. Dhanashree felt that Chahal’s T-shirt message could have come privately.

“You know that people are going to blame you. Before I had even known that this T-shirt stunt had happened, we were all aware that people were going to blame me for this. You should have sent it on WhatsApp. Why wear the T-shirt?” She reckoned in the same podcast.

“We are deeply outraged by the baseless claims being circulated about the alimony figure. Let me be clear—no such amount has ever been asked, demanded, or even offered. There is no truth to these rumours whatsoever. It is deeply irresponsible to publish such unverified information, dragging not just the parties but also their families into unnecessary speculation.” Dhanashree Verma concluded on the murmurs of seeking INR 60 crore in alimony.

“You won’t find anyone more loyal”: Chahal responds to cheating allegations post-divorce

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 15:06:43 GMT

India's leg-spinner extraordinaire, Yuzvendra Chahal, has opened up for the first time on the agonising divorce from Dhanashree Verma and the emotional abyss it cast upon him. Chahal disclosed on the Raj Shamani podcast that he grappled with anxiety, bouts of depression, and suicidal ideations during the dying days of their marital bond.

Chahal and Dhanashree were granted a divorce by the Bombay High Court on March 20, 2025, after nearly five years of marriage. While the news made headlines earlier this year, the cricketer had remained silent until now.

“I had suicidal thoughts. I cried multiple times a day, couldn’t sleep, and went through 40–45 days of emotional breakdown,” Chahal said. “I had panic attacks. I was sweating even in air-conditioned rooms. It became difficult to focus on cricket.” He revealed that he had to take a break from the Vijay Hazare Trophy during the 2024–25 season to deal with his mental health. According to Chahal, he felt emotionally drained, often questioning his own worth amid social media scrutiny and personal grief.

Chahal speaks about his divorce, mental health struggles, and how he's trying to move forward

Talking about the breakdown of the marriage, Chahal admitted that both he and Dhanashree were ambitious individuals with hectic schedules. That eventually led to distance and incompatibility. “A relationship requires time, understanding, and compromise. We both were busy with our lives. The connection started fading. I take responsibility too. I couldn’t express myself well,” he said.

Chahal also addressed the online trolling and rumors, particularly accusations of infidelity following the release of a music video by Dhanashree that touched on cheating and abuse. “I was called a cheater. But I have never cheated in my life. I’ve always been loyal. I think from my heart for my loved ones,” he clarified.

He added that his biggest fear is being alone and admitted to keeping a light on while he slept. He said, though there were struggles on the way, Chahal was working on himself and trying to become a better person. That honest conversation, despite the small viewership, has been commended for shedding light on mental health in professional sport, and fans have lauded Chahal for his courage and strength in speaking up.

'Suicidal thoughts, tired...'- Yuzvendra Chahal reveals how allegations of cheating on ex-wife Dhanashree Verma disturbed mental health

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 11:06:25 GMT

Star India cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal revealed his tough post-divorce phase. He claimed that fake narratives and false claims about cheating on his ex-wife, Dhanashree Verma, almost drove him to take his own life. Because of decreased mental health due to rumors around him, his daily routine was badly affected, and the sleep cycle was disturbed. With a poor mental state, Chahal had to continue his cricket career as well.

Slowly, the cricketer found himself at new lows, not for cricketing reasons, but for personal issues. Chahal claimed that he has two sisters; he knows how to respect women. He labeled himself as the most loyal person anyone can explore around. The false claims made him devastated, and by that time, he had only low thoughts in mind. From there, Chahal fought back and again made headlines through his bowling performances.

"I had suicidal thoughts, I was tired of my life, and I used to cry for 2 hours. I used to sleep for just 2 hours. It went for 40-45 days. I wanted a break from cricket. I was so busy with cricket. I was not able to concentrate. I used to sleep for 2 hours. Used to share suicidal thoughts with my friend. I used to get scared," Yuzvendra Chahal said in a recent conversation.

Never cheated: Yuzvendra Chahal

"I have never cheated in my life. I am not that kind of a person. You won't find anyone more loyal than me... I have two sisters and have grown up with them since childhood. I know how to respect women because my parents have taught me how to respect them. I've learned my life lessons from people around me."

Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree tied their knot in December 2020 and separated legally on March 20, 2025. The prolific spinner has been out from Team India now for some years. He last played for India in August 2023. His experience and skills proved helpful to the Punjab Kings during their promising campaign in IPL 2025.

RJ Mahvash hits back at trolls who claim Yuzvendra Chahal is responsible for her career success.

Sat, 21 Jun 2025 12:30:07 GMT

RJ Mahvash has finally addressed the wave of trolling and ongoing speculation surrounding her career, particularly claims linking her success to cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. In a video posted on June 20, Mahvash directly responded to online critics by presenting evidence of her longstanding career in the media industry. She made it clear that her achievements predate any association with Chahal, highlighting that she had already established herself well before the dating rumors began.

Speculation around Mahvash’s personal life gained momentum following Yuzvendra Chahal’s divorce from Dhanashree Verma in March 2025. Her continued presence at Punjab Kings’ IPL matches and her attendance at the Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai, where India clinched the title, further fueled dating rumors. Despite this, Mahvash has repeatedly maintained that she and Chahal are just friends and that she is currently single.

The video she shared on Instagram, captioned, "Jab tak khud ke liye nahi bologe, koi tumhare liye nahi bolega," featured her direct response to a troll’s comment, “Yuzi bhai ne iska career bana diya.” Mahvash replied, “2019 se iss industry mein hoon, aao dikhati hoon apna career,” and followed it with a montage of her media work—from hosting radio shows and cricket events to producing the Bollywood film Section 108 starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Responding to those questioning her cricket knowledge, she added, “Cricket pitch tak pohach gayee abto to ye, cricket ke baare me kuch janti bhi hai ye,” and included visuals of her interviews with MS Dhoni, Chris Gayle, Shane Watson, and Harbhajan Singh.

In her video, Mahvash also responded to a troll claiming that her access to celebrities began only after her link-up with Chahal. She countered by showing photos with Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmann Khurrana, and more, proving her deep roots in the entertainment industry. She didn’t stop there—Mahvash showcased her roles as an author and as the lead actress in Amazon Prime's Pyaar Paisa Profit, along with snippets of her award show appearances.

I will never back down from supporting a friend.” In response, Chahal commented on her post, “Respect! More power to you!”

Talk of a possible relationship between the two first started back in December 2024 when Mahvash posted a group photo from a Christmas party that included Chahal. A few days later, he was spotted with a mystery woman, who fans later guessed was Mahvash. They were also seen together during a Champions Trophy match in Dubai. Neither Chahal nor Mahvash has confirmed anything about their relationship, but their sweet exchanges and frequent appearances together have definitely got people talking.

Yuzi and Dhanashree’s divorce: The reason behind their separation!

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 08:26:31 GMT

Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, Dhanashree Verma, have reportedly parted ways due to a disagreement over their place of residence. On the basis of social media influencer Vickey Lalwani’s statement, the primary factor in their separation was Dhanashree wanting Chahal to move out of his parent’s house in Haryana to Mumbai.

The two wed in 2020 before moving to Chahal’s family house in Haryana, but a few days into their marriage, Dhanashree stated she wanted to move to Mumbai, which did not sit well with Chahal. The couple, at different ends and in constant conflict, began arguing rigorously for Dhanashree to seemingly have her way.

Rumor has it the couple did not have matching personalities and suffered from underlying differences. The argument regarding permanently moving to Mumbai became one of the main issues between the two. Dhanashree, being a known influencer, wanted to relocate to Mumbai for multiple career openings, but it was against Chahal’s family values, as he did not want to leave his parents’ home.

Regardless of them being in the public eye, their relationship crumbled as differences in opinion separated them more and more throughout time. Their separations highlight the struggle between personal goals versus family roots and the damage they can cause to a marriage. It's shocking how the couple had not commented publicly on this split because of their once-adored chemistry.

Ritika Sajdeh likes post calling Dhanashree a ‘Gold Digger’ after divorce from Chahal

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 08:21:48 GMT

In a recent social media controversy, Ritika Sajdeh, the wife of Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma, has drawn attention for liking a video that criticizes choreographer Dhanashree Verma. After divorcing Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, Dhanashree came under fire from a video that branded her a “gold digger.”

Alleges that Dhanashree received a hefty alimony of ₹4.75 crore after separating from Chahal. The video was shared by journalist Shubhankar Mishra. He further alleged that it was clear she took the financial payment at face value while she tried to ‘act’ morally virtuous. Furthermore, Ritika's engagement with the post by liking it has sparked opposing reactions from her supporters and critics.

Most recently, these events have created some buzz on social media these days. Some people suggest that perhaps Ritika’s like means she agrees with the critique of Dhanashree, while some think it might be a complete coincidence. Neither Sharma nor Sajdeh has publicly commented on the situation.

Chahal and Dhanashree so far have kept quiet about the drama surrounding their divorce and Ritika's bold take on social media.

Though it has been reported that Dhanashree Verma was paid as much as ₹4.75 crore out of the divorce settlement, the mathematics behind the divorce along with the sums being paid after the split are shrouded in mystery. Some social media users jump in to criticize and interrogate Dhanashree’s decision to accept the alimony, while others defend it, saying it is simply the nature of divorce proceedings.
