New Delhi: The high-profile divorce of Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma continues to make waves, with Chahal’s latest Instagram post stirring fresh debate about unresolved tensions between the former couple.
A Marriage That Captivated, A Split That Intrigues
Chahal and Dhanashree, married in December 2020, were once celebrated as one of cricket’s most-adored couples, sharing dance reels and heartfelt moments online. However, their five-year marriage ended in March 2025, and the aftermath has been anything but amicable. The divorce gained notoriety when Chahal wore a T-shirt reading “Be Your Own Sugar Daddy” on the day of the final hearing, a move that Dhanashree later described as surprising and emotionally charged during her Humans of Bombay podcast appearance.
Dhanashree’s Viral Outburst
In the podcast, Dhanashree opened up about the emotional weight of the divorce proceedings, recalling how she broke down in court. Addressing Chahal’s T-shirt stunt, she remarked, “Arre bhai, WhatsApp kar deta, T-shirt kyun pehna?” Her candid comments quickly went viral, reigniting discussions about the couple’s strained relationship.
Chahal’s Cryptic Response
On August 21, Chahal responded with a series of Instagram photos from Kirkstone Pass, England, where he is currently playing county cricket. The caption, “Million feelings, Zero words,” accompanied by images of him standing alone amidst mountains, has been interpreted by fans as a veiled reply to Dhanashree’s remarks. The lack of context about his companions in the post only deepened the intrigue, with social media users speculating about the cricketer’s emotional state.
Social Media’s Verdict
The couple’s public exchanges have kept them in the spotlight, with Chahal’s selective purging of shared photos and Dhanashree’s retention of some memories adding layers to the narrative. Netizens have been quick to label Chahal’s post as a subtle jab, while others see it as an expression of personal reflection amid a tumultuous phase.
As both move forward— Chahal with his cricketing career and Dhanashree with her choreography and content creation — their cryptic interactions suggest that their story is far from over, keeping fans hooked on what might come next.
