Ex-wife of Yuzvendra Chahal Dhanashree Verma has finally addressed the speculation surrounding the alimony involved in her divorce.

Dhanashree Verma breaks silence on alimony rumours
In a candid conversation with co-contestant Aditya Narayan, Dhanashree shared that her separation from Yuzvendra Chahal was a mutual decision and took place nearly a year ago. The couple, who were married for four years and dated for six to seven months before tying the knot.
“It happened quickly because it was mutual; that is why when people say alimony, it is wrong,” Dhanashree clarified on the show.
While reports had previously suggested that Chahal paid Rs 4.75 crore in permanent alimony, she now, on the show, refused any such claim. She also mentioned that just because she had chosen silence did not mean the rumours were true.
“Just because I am not saying anything, you will go on saying anything? My parents have taught me to only justify to people whom I care about,” she added. “Why waste time explaining to those who do not even know you?”
During the emotional exchange, contestant Nayandeep Rakshit asked why she had not addressed the rumours earlier. Dhanashree said that online buzz had taken a toll on her emotionally.
“Eventually, you get hurt when you see that happening. It was not needed. None of it is true. I felt worse wondering why he did it. It is okay, I will always keep his respect, that is what I believe in. Now, I do not think I can date anybody,” she said.
The couple’s divorce was officially finalised on March 20, 2025, but is still is the subject of intense media talks and speculation.
