Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal recently shared a cryptic message on his Instagram story, which has sparked speculation about his relationship with wife Dhanashree Verma. The message said, “Hard work highlights the true character of people. You know your journey, your pain, and all that you’ve done to get here. The world knows. Stand tall. You’ve worked hard to make your parents proud. Keep standing tall as a proud son always.”
This emotional post, along with some recent social media activity, has led fans to believe that the couple may be heading for a separation after almost five years of marriage. Both Chahal and Dhanashree have unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Chahal has reportedly deleted all pictures of Dhanashree from his profile, which has fueled more rumors.

Sources say the couple has been living apart for several months now. While the exact reasons for their reported separation are still unclear, this isn’t the first time their relationship has attracted public attention. In 2023, Dhanashree removed “Chahal” from her Instagram handle, sparking similar rumors. However, at that time, Chahal dismissed these rumors, urging fans not to spread unverified information. Recently, Dhanashree shared posts supporting Chahal regarding his selection for national teams, but now, both have unfollowed each other on social media.
The couple got married in December 2020 in a small ceremony in Gurgaon. Their love story started during the pandemic when Chahal reached out to Dhanashree, a choreographer, to learn dance after being impressed by her videos. They became one of the most adored couples in the cricket world, frequently sharing moments of their relationship on social media and in interviews.
Are Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma getting a divorce? Here’s a look at their love story.
While Chahal has removed much of their shared memories online, Dhanashree still keeps pictures of them together on her account. Neither Chahal nor Dhanashree has officially commented on the divorce rumors, leaving fans in shock and eagerly awaiting an update on their relationship.
