Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma are now officially divorced. The former couple were granted the decree of divorce by the Mumbai family court on Thursday.
Yuzvendra and Dhanashree, who got married in 2020, have been living separately for the past 18 months. They filed a joint petition before the court seeking divorce by mutual consent in February 2025.
Let us take a look at Yuzvendra Chahal And Dhanashree Verma’s relationship timeline:
