Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma seem to have hit a rough patch in their marriage.
Yuzvendra Chahal, a cricketer renowned for his leg-spin bowling, has recently made headlines amid rumors of an alleged separation from his wife, Dhanashree Verma, whom he married on December 22, 2020.
Born July 23, 1990, Yuzvendra represents Haryana in domestic cricket, Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League, and Northamptonshire in the County Championship.
Chahal became the second cricketer and the first Indian to claim a six-wicket haul in T20I history.
He also holds the distinction of being the first concussion substitute to win the Man of the Match award in an international match.
Speculation Intensified When Yuzvendra and Dhanashree Reportedly Unfollowed Each Other on Instagram
As of now, neither Chahal nor Dhanashree has issued an official statement regarding their relationship status, but they don’t follow each other.
Moreover, Yuzvendra deleted or archived photos of Dhanashree from his social media accounts.
However, neither Yuzvendra Chahal nor Dhanashree Verma has made any negative remarks about their relationship.
The couple started dating during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
Dhanashree Verma is a renowned YouTuber, dentist, and dance choreographer.
Their connection was initiated when Chahal approached Verma for online dance lessons. He was seeking a productive outlet during the hiatus from cricket.
This professional interaction soon blossomed into a romantic relationship.
Dhanashree later revealed on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 that Chahal was seeking something new during the lockdown and wanted to become her student, to which she agreed.
Chahal talked about Dhanashree in an episode of The Ranveer Show, saying,
“I asked her how are you so happy, even during this phase of lockdown. Then she started to talk about her life. That is where our conversations started. I liked her vibes. She is a self-made woman like I am a self-made man. I told my mom about her, that I like this girl.”
The couple announced their engagement on August 8, 2020, sharing the news with fans on social media.
They tied the knot on December 22, 2020, in a private ceremony held in Gurgaon.
Their first year of marriage was filled with joy, as Dhanashree was frequently seen supporting Chahal at IPL matches.
Their relationship was often highlighted on social media, with both sharing glimpses of their life together, endearing them to fans.
However, in 2022, Dhanashree removed ‘Chahal’ from her Instagram profile, prompting fans to question whether their marriage was in trouble.
Chahal once addressed rumors of their separation, asking fans not to believe in unfounded gossip, but their relationship seemed to have deteriorated.
Chahal also shared a cryptic Instagram story emphasizing hard work and character.
He wrote on Instagram,
“Hard work highlights people’s character. You know your journey very well. You know your pain. You know what you have done to reach here. The world knows that you have always stood with self-respect. You have sweated to make your parents proud. Always stood with your chest held high like a proud son.”
His words, expressing pride, self-respect, and personal challenges, added to the speculation surrounding his emotional state.
