Yuzvendra Chahal Agrees to Pay Rs 4.75 Crore Alimony to Dhanashree Verma
The recent divorce between cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and dancer Dhanashree Verma has sparked a wave of commentary, particularly among fellow sports personalities. Notably, Ritika Sajdeh, the wife of cricketer Rohit Sharma, appears to have taken a stance in support of Chahal.
Ritika’s approval became evident when she ‘liked’ a social media post criticizing Dhanashree for agreeing to a substantial alimony payment of Rs 4.75 crore. The post included a clip featuring influencer Shubhankar Mishra, who openly expressed disdain for Dhanashree, suggesting that the public’s perception of her as a “gold digger” is not unfounded.
Mishra’s comments in the viral video included, “In Dhanashree’s case, she faced significant challenges in starting her new life. Chahal’s fans will troll her for this, which is expected. Having money facilitates empowerment and a sense of strength. I question how she can call herself a self-made woman while accepting such a large sum.”
He continued, “Chahal wears a T-shirt mocking this situation that says ‘be your own sugar daddy.’ If others label you a gold digger, you shouldn’t shy away from those remarks, especially after accepting financial support.” Ritika Sajdeh’s engagement with the video has raised eyebrows and led to speculation about her views on the ongoing situation.
Details of Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma’s Divorce
Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma, who were married in 2020, officially divorced on March 20, 2025. The couple had been living separately for the past 18 months prior to their divorce. Nitin Kumar Gupta, Chahal’s legal representative, confirmed the dissolution of marriage to ANI, stating, “The court has granted the decree of divorce, and both parties are no longer husband and wife.”
Speculations of Infidelity in the Relationship
Amidst the divorce news, Dhanashree released a new music video titled “Dekha Ji Dekha Maine,” which delves into themes of infidelity and damaging relationships. Interestingly, she made her initial public appearance following the divorce the day after its announcement. When questioned about her emotional state post-divorce, she responded cryptically, maintaining composure and suggesting, “Listen to the song first.” The music video features Ishwak Singh portraying Dhanashree’s on-screen husband, crafting a narrative that mirrors her real-life struggles with betrayal in a past relationship. This has led many fans to draw parallels between the fictional storyline and her recent experiences, further fueling discussions about her post-divorce life.
