Title: Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal: A Reflection on Divorce and Public Image

The divorce between former cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and choreographer Dhanashree Verma, finalized earlier this year, has been a topic of public interest. Verma recently opened up about the emotional ordeal and a viral moment where Chahal wore a T-shirt with the phrase "Be Your Own Sugar Daddy," leaving her both shocked and reflective.

Verma, who has been vocal about her experiences, recalled the emotional turmoil of the divorce proceedings. She described the courtroom atmosphere as overwhelming and emotionally charged, stating that she "literally started howling and crying in front of everybody" during the hearing. Despite the intense public scrutiny and trolling she faced, Verma chose to remain silent until recently [1].

One of the most notable incidents during the divorce proceedings was Chahal’s viral T-shirt stunt. The cricketer was photographed leaving the court wearing a T-shirt with the phrase "Be Your Own Sugar Daddy," which immediately went viral. Verma, who was unaware of the stunt at the time, was taken aback when she saw the image later. She admitted that the moment left her shaken but also provided a new perspective. "In moments like that, everything just flashes through your mind," she said [2].

Verma emphasized the importance of maturity and respect during the divorce process. She noted that while she was prepared to face public criticism, she chose to remain quiet until now. She also reacted humorously to Chahal’s T-shirt stunt, saying, "Arre bhai, WhatsApp kardeta!" [1].

Chahal, in a podcast interview, explained that his act was deliberate and intended to send a final message to Verma. "I just felt like I wanted to give one message and I did that," he said [2].

The couple, who married in 2020 and separated in 2025, have both moved on since the divorce. Verma has faced online trolling, while reports suggest Chahal is now dating content creator RJ Mahvash.
