Dhanashree Verma to receive Rs 4.75 crore in alimony from Yuzvendra Chahal, family court directed to finalise divorce before IPL
Dhanashree Verma and cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal got married in 2020 and separated in 2022. Dhanashree will receive Rs 4.75 crore in alimony.

Dhanashree Verma and cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, who have been separated for over two years now, might get a decision on their divorce on Thursday as the Bombay High Court has directed the family court to decide on their divorce petition, as per a report by Bar and Bench. The Court said that since Chahal might not be available from March 21 because of his IPL commitments, the family court must decide on the petition by March 20.
Dhanashree and Yuzvendra’s mediation was finalised with terms for alimony that required him to pay Rs 4.75 crore. When they filed for divorce in February 2024, they filed a joint petition and chose to waive off the six month cooling-off period but the family court denied that request because Yuzvendra had paid only Rs 2.37 crore out of the agreed amount. The High Court however, has noted that Yuzvendra has complied as the second installment of the alimony would be paid after the divorce decree.
Dhanashree and Yuzvendra got married in December 2020. When rumours of their separation started in January 2024, Dhanashree took to her social media and shared a note saying that the stories being shared online were “baseless.” She also alleged that “faceless trolls” were ruining her reputation. “The past few days have been incredibly tough for my family and me. What’s truly upsetting is the baseless writing, devoid of fact- checking, and the character assassination of my reputation by faceless trolls spreading hate. I’ve worked hard for years to build my name and integrity,” she wrote and added, “My silence is not a sign of weakness; but of strength. While negativity spreads easily online, it takes courage and compassion to uplift others. I choose to focus on my truth and move forward, holding onto my values. The truth stands tall without the need for justification. Om Namah Shivaay.”
Around the same time, Chahal also shared a quote by Socrates on his social media that read, “Silence is a profound melody, for those who can hear it above all the noise.” Fans speculated about their marriage after he deleted all of her photos from his social media handles. They also unfollowed each other on Instagram.
