Yuzvendra Chahal reveals what his last conversation with ex wife Dhanashree Verma was: 'Kuch..'

Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has finally spoken about his divorce from choreographer and digital content creator Dhanashree Verma. In a recent podcast interview with entrepreneur Raj Shamani, Chahal opened up about the breakdown of his marriage, how he coped with the public attention, and the reason behind the now viral "Be Your Own Sugar Daddy" T-shirt that he wore during the divorce process. While the couple had remained silent until now, Chahal's comments have offered the first clear picture of what went on behind the scenes.

Chahal and Dhanashree got married in December 2020. They filed for divorce in February 2025, and the legal process was completed by March. Their separation became a trending topic online, especially due to the suddenness of the decision and the high public profile both had built over the years. Speculation around their marriage increased when fans noticed a lack of joint appearances and social media activity in late 2024.

During the podcast, Chahal revealed that he and Dhanashree are no longer in touch. He shared that their last conversation likely took place in September 2024 and was related to legal proceedings, with lawyers present. He explained that once a relationship ends, he prefers to move on completely rather than maintain contact. In his words, "Ho gaye honge 6 7 mahine, kuch kaam ka hoga to bus us baare mein baat hoti thi warna nahi. I think after the World Cup 18 19 July it ended properly."

Chahal acknowledged that the divorce process was emotionally and financially difficult. Around the same time, there were numerous rumors in circulation, including one that claimed Dhanashree had demanded 60 crore rupees as alimony. These claims were quickly dismissed by Dhanashree’s family, who issued a public statement calling the reports false and misleading. They stated that no such demand had been made and urged people not to believe unverified information.

Chahal did not comment directly on these rumors but confirmed that discussions about divorce had been ongoing for some time. He said the decision to separate was mutual and that there was no intention to disrespect anyone. However, he also suggested that something happened from Dhanashree’s side that led him to take a more public stance during the divorce proceedings.

That reaction took the form of a bold message printed on a T-shirt. Chahal wore a shirt that read "Be Your Own Sugar Daddy" to one of the legal hearings, which quickly drew public and media attention. The photo went viral and sparked further speculation about tensions between the two.

Explaining his decision, Chahal said, "Mujhe nahi karna tha drama… I just wanted to give one message, and maine woh de diya. Kuch cheez hua tha, and maine kaha ab sambhaal lo… ab mujhe kisi ki parwah nahi. Maine na kisi ko abuse kra, bus mujhe message dena tha." Though he did not specify what exactly triggered that act, he made it clear that it was his way of expressing his side of the situation without resorting to direct confrontation.

Mujhe nahi karna tha drama… I just wanted to give one message, and maine woh de diya. Kuch cheez hua tha, and maine kaha ab sambhaal lo… ab mujhe kisi ki parwah nahi.

The incident also highlights the challenge public figures face when dealing with private issues. Even something as simple as a T-shirt becomes a topic of national conversation when worn by someone in the spotlight. Chahal’s experience reflects a broader reality for celebrities, where personal choices are often interpreted and discussed by millions.

Chahal emphasized that he believes in moving forward without holding onto past relationships. For him, closure means not keeping any connection alive once things have ended. As of now, he has shifted his focus back to his cricketing career, while Dhanashree continues to work in the entertainment and digital content space.

The podcast gave listeners a rare look into the emotional side of a public breakup. Without revealing every detail, Chahal offered enough insight to show the personal cost of a marriage ending under public scrutiny and the mental strength required to face it.
