Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and dancer Dhanashree Verma have officially parted ways after a Mumbai family court granted them a divorce on March 20. The couple, who married in 2020, had reportedly been living separately since June 2022, as revealed in court proceedings.
However, the biggest shock for fans is the revelation that, despite their separation, the former couple appeared together on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 in 2023, showcasing romance that many now believe was scripted for publicity.
Fans Call Out ‘Faked’ Chemistry
Dhanashree entered the dance reality show as a wild card contestant, making it to the finals. In one of the episodes, Chahal made a special appearance, and the couple was seen engaging in romantic gestures, fun games, and warm hugs. At the time, their on-screen chemistry was praised, but now, after their divorce news broke, social media users are accusing them of misleading the public.
With their joint petition confirming they had been separated for 18 months, many feel their Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 appearance was a deliberate move to maintain a positive image before their legal split.
₹4.75 Crore Alimony Settlement
As per reports, Chahal has paid an alimony of ₹4.75 crore to Dhanashree Verma as part of their divorce settlement. While neither has addressed the public backlash, debates are raging online—with some defending their privacy, while others feel betrayed by their perceived act on national television.
