Yuzvendra Chahal stands as one of India’s most successful white-ball leg-spinners. In addition to his cricket prowess, he is renowned for his vivacious demeanor off the field. However, not everything is fine with him. His private life has drawn attention lately. Chahal married YouTuber and choreographer Dhanashree Verma in a lavish ceremony in 2020. People thought it was a match made in heaven. They often shared lovely videos and banter on social media.
Despite an initial display of passion on social media, their relationship deteriorated over the course of two years, leading to a joint divorce petition in February 2025 and its finalization in March 2025, with alimony agreed upon at around Rs 4.75 crore. The separation generated a lot of online and offline commentary. Since then, Yuzvendra Chahal’s alleged affair with RJ Mahvash has also garnered attention. Although they chose to stay silent for a long time, it seems that Yuzvendra Chahal is now giving hints about his strong bond with Mahvash.
