Shocking! Yuzvendra Chahal Ordered to Pay ₹4.75 Crore Alimony to Dhanashree Verma Amid Divorce Battle

With the Bombay High Court fast-tracking their divorce proceedings, Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal is set to pay ₹4.75 crore as alimony to his estranged wife, actor-choreographer Dhanashree Verma. As per reports, Chahal has already paid ₹2.37 crore and will clear the remaining amount once the family court officially finalizes their divorce on March 20, 2025. The couple, who got married in 2020, had been living separately for two years before filing for divorce this year.

In February, Chahal and Dhanashree requested the family court to waive off the mandatory six-month cooling-off period under Section 13B(2) of the Hindu Marriage Act. However, the court rejected their request, citing incomplete alimony payment, raising doubts about Chahal’s compliance with the mutual settlement terms reached during mediation.

Prior to their divorce announcement, rumours about their separation gained momentum as both unfollowed each other on Instagram. Following this, several reports falsely claimed that Dhanashree demanded ₹60 crore in alimony, sparking massive online speculation. However, Dhanashree’s family issued a statement condemning the false claims and clarified that no such demand was ever made. They urged the media to act responsibly, verify facts, and respect the privacy of both families involved during this sensitive phase.
