Fri Feb 21 19:52:10 UTC 2025: ## Chahal and Verma Divorce Proceedings Confirmed; Alimony Rumors Denied
**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife, social media influencer Dhanashree Verma, have initiated divorce proceedings, their respective legal representatives confirmed. While the lawyers have declined to comment further, citing the ongoing legal process (“sub judice”), rumors surrounding a significant alimony demand have been vehemently denied.
A statement released by a member of Dhanashree Verma’s family categorically refuted reports claiming she sought ₹60 crore (approximately $7.3 million USD) in alimony. The statement condemned the spread of misinformation, emphasizing that no such sum was ever requested, demanded, or offered. The family urged media outlets to exercise responsible reporting and verify information before publication, citing the harm caused by unsubstantiated claims.
Dhanashree Verma’s lawyer, Aditi Mohan, reiterated the call for responsible reporting, stating that much of the information circulating is misleading. Reports suggesting the divorce is finalized have also been dismissed as inaccurate.
Both Chahal and Verma have posted messages on social media referencing faith and God’s protection, though neither directly addressed the divorce proceedings. The matter remains before the court.
