Here’s The REAL Reason Why Dhanashree Verma And Yuzvendra Chahal Got Divorced

The split between Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma became one of the most talked-about events in the entertainment world, captivating fans and media alike. For months, speculations swirled around the reasons behind their separation, with multiple theories emerging. Finally, on March 20th, the couple was officially granted a divorce. As the news settled, a new theory has now come to the forefront, adding further intrigue to their high-profile breakup.

Disagreement over moving to Mumbai is now been termed as the possible reason behind the split up of Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma

After their official divorce that Yuzvendra and Dhanashree recently got, a new theory has surfaced regarding the reason behind their separation. While the couple had previously refrained from disclosing the specifics of their split, entertainment journalist Vickey Lalwani has now revealed that the core issue might have been a disagreement over where they would live.

According to Lalwani, after their wedding in December 2020, the couple initially moved to Haryana to stay with Chahal’s parents. However, Dhanashree, who had a preference for living in Mumbai, expressed her desire to relocate to the city soon after.

“After tying the knot, Yuzi and Dhanashree had shifted to stay with Yuzi’s parents in Haryana and came to Mumbai only when they needed to. Yes, this Mumbai-Haryana jhagda (fight) was one of the main reasons why this much-in-the-paparazzi-world marriage ended.”

This difference in living arrangements reportedly created tension between the two, with Chahal being adamant about staying close to his family in Haryana.

“Yuzi was clear that he wouldn’t uproot himself from his parents’ home and surroundings.”

Lalwani’s words claims that the issue of balancing family life with personal preferences, specifically the Mumbai-Haryana disagreement, played a significant role in their decision to part ways.

Chahal, it seems, was unwilling to uproot himself from the comfort of his parental home, while Dhanashree’s wishes for a different lifestyle in Mumbai did not align with his. This difference of opinion over something as important as their living situation may have contributed to the unraveling of their marriage.
