Dhanashree Verma Addresses ₹60 Cr Alimony Claims in Divorce From Chahal

The popular choreographer and her family issue a strong statement, calling the massive financial demands “deeply irresponsible” and “unverified.”

September 25, 2025: Dhanashree Verma, an actress and choreographer who is presently a competitor on the reality show Rise and Fall, has spoken out against the tremendous public attention surrounding her divorce from cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. She has firmly denied rumors that she is asking for a large amount of alimony.

Verma told host Aditya Narayan on a recent episode that her split from the famous cricketer, which happened earlier this year, was “mutual” and quick, which means that the allegations about alimony are completely false.

“Officially, it has been almost a year.” “It happened quickly because we both wanted it to happen. That’s why people say alimony, which is wrong,” Dhanashree said. She was upset over the unproven rumors and said, “Just because I’m not saying anything doesn’t mean you can say anything.” My parents have taught me that I should only explain myself to those I care about.

The actress also said that the couple had been married for four years after courting for six to seven months. She denied the assertions about money, but she did say that the continuous accusations stung. “Eventually, it hurts to see it happen. It wasn’t necessary. It’s all a lie. It made me feel worse to ponder why he did it. I believe that I will always have his respect. She said, “I don’t think I can date anyone right now,” which showed how hard the public breakup was on her.

Dhanashree’s emotional journey on the show has been hard, especially after she broke down last week when another participant, Aahana Kumra, supposedly questioned her character. She cried on the show and said, “I feel unsafe to talk now,” that she never “dragged [her] personal life” into the game.

The pair, who got married in a big ceremony in 2020, filed for divorce in February 2024. The split is still one of the most talked-about divorces in sports and entertainment. The cricketer is now said to be dating content developer RJ Mahvash. Dhanashree’s most recent comments on Rise and Fall are her most obvious attempt to put the whole thing behind her and protect her reputation.
