After Yuzvendra Chahal shared his side of the story on his divorce, his ex-wife Dhanashree Verma has now shared her side of the story in a candid conversation. Dhanashree Verma spoke on a podcast about her emotional breakdown during their final hearing and took a sharp dig at Yuzvendra Chahal for the viral moment when he wore a controversial t-shirt to court.
What Is The Controversy?
Speaking to Humans Of Bombay, Dhanashree recalled how overwhelming the final day of their divorce was for her. She said,
“I still remember when I was standing there and the verdict was about to be given. Even though we were so well-prepared mentally, I got so emotional. I started howling in front of everybody. I couldn’t even express what I was feeling at that point. I just remember that I just kept crying, I was just howling and crying. Of course! All of that happened, and he (Chahal) walked out first.”
The moment was already emotionally heavy, but what caught everyone’s attention was Yuzvendra Chahal’s outfit. He showed up wearing a t-shirt that had “Be Your Own Sugar Daddy” printed on it. As expected, the look went viral in no time.
Dhanashree Verma Reacts To Viral T-Shirt Moment
Addressing the controversy, Dhanashree said that the cricketer could have chosen a more private approach instead of making their divorce a public spectacle. She shared,
“You know that people are going to blame you. Before I had even known that this T-shirt stunt had happened, we were all aware that people were going to blame me for this.”
She further added, with a mix of frustration and disbelief:
“Are bhai, WhatsApp kar deta. T-shirt kyun pehna hai? (You should have sent it on WhatsApp. Why wear the t-shirt?)”
Her reaction has since been making waves on social media, with many users echoing her sentiments that Chahal’s choice of outfit was in poor taste given the situation.
Yuzvendra Chahal’s Side Of The Story
Dhanashree’s remarks come just days after Yuzvendra Chahal spoke about the divorce in detail on Raj Shamani’s podcast. The cricketer clarified that he had never cheated on his ex-wife, addressing the ongoing speculation around their split. Yuzi said,
“It was going on for a long while. We decided we do not want to show the people. Who knew if it did not happen. Maybe, it will become a different scenario. We were like until we reached to a point of end, we are not going to say anything. We will be like a normal couple on social media.”
He further defended himself against cheating allegations:
“When I was going through the divorce thing, people labelled me as a cheater. I have never cheated. You will not get a more loyal person than me. For my loved ones, I think from my heart. I have never asked, just given. When you don’t know, you are writing. I have two sisters, I know how to respect girls. Just because you are seen with someone, you will link up with someone and write for views. The problem is if you react once, they will be more people who will come knowing you will react.”
A Timeline Of Their Relationship And Split
For those who may not know, Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma tied the knot in December 2020 in Gurgaon. Their fun reels, dance videos, and lighthearted banter quickly made them one of social media’s favorite couples.
But cracks started appearing a few years later. In February 2025, the couple was spotted outside Bandra Family Court, filing for divorce by mutual consent. They had also requested a waiver for the six-month mandatory cooling-off period, but the court denied it.
After living separately for around 18 months, they officially parted ways on March 20, 2025. Reports suggest that Chahal paid ₹4.75 crore as alimony to Dhanashree.
The Bigger Picture
While both Chahal and Dhanashree have now spoken openly about their separation, it’s clear that emotions are still raw. For Dhanashree, the moment wasn’t just about legal closure — it was deeply personal and overwhelming. And for Chahal, who insists he has been wrongly labelled, the divorce remains a sore point as well.
What stood out the most, however, was the t-shirt moment that Dhanashree called out. Her blunt remark — “Bhai, WhatsApp kar deta” — has become the highlight of the conversation, giving fans a glimpse into the real emotions behind the public smiles and statements.
One thing is certain — both have chosen to move on in their own ways. But the controversy around Chahal’s “Sugar Daddy” t-shirt will likely be remembered for a long time whenever their divorce is discussed.
