Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal’s estranged wife, Dhanashree Verma, has finally spoken about her divorce and slammed the Indian cricketer for his attire at the divorce hearing.Chahal appeared wearing a black t-shirt with the words “Be your own sugar daddy”. The move triggered a storm on social media, with many interpreting it as a subtle dig at Dhanashree.“Divorce is not something to celebrate. It’s not a celebration; it’s something very sad and deeply emotional. People must not forget that it’s not just about the two individuals, but also about the families involved—those who genuinely love and care about you,” she said on the podcast Spill The Tea.“I also believe true grief and chaos in a marriage have to be understood and acknowledged by both parties. Marriage begins with love, but when it ends, it often ends in distrust. The day it actually happened was very emotional for me, my family, and I’m sure for everyone around us. Even though we were mentally prepared for it, when the verdict was about to be given, I broke down completely. I started howling in front of everyone,” she recalled.

Dhanashree strongly criticised Chahal’s choice of t-shirt on the divorce hearing.“He walked out first, and that whole t-shirt episode unfolded. I wasn’t even aware of it at the time because I was still inside. I left through the back door because I didn’t want to face the media. I was just wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans.

“I sat in my car, still trying to catch my breath. Before I even realised what had happened, people began speculating about me because of that stunt. Sitting there, I felt like, ‘It’s done. It’s dusted.’“Somewhere, I did feel bad. Why was I even crying about this? Then I thought, forget it—let’s just end this. That moment gave me the motivation to laugh and move on. It’s over,” she added.
