As speculation swirled around his separation from choreographer Dhanashree Verma, the cricketer recently opened up about the story behind that headline-making T-shirt and the emotional closure he sought. Alongside this revelation, a resurfaced clip from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 offers a lighthearted look back at their dynamic, shedding new light on their past relationship.
A playful memory from Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa
While appearing on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 to support Dhanashree, Yuzvendra joined in on a fun guessing game hosted on stage. During the segment, a moment involving the word “diamond” led to playful banter between the two. Chahal jokingly suggested that post-arguments, Dhanashree would often expect a gesture or a gift, but clarified it was never really about material things. Instead, he hinted that what she truly sought after a disagreement was a simple apology—not jewels. The exchange offered a light, affectionate glimpse into their relationship at the time.
Setting the record straight
Addressing assumptions that he was in the marriage for financial gain, Chahal subtly indicated that a particular incident from Verma’s side pushed him to respond. Though he initially had no intention of reacting publicly, the situation led him to a point where he felt compelled to speak out. Without targeting or abusing anyone, Chahal clarified that his response was more about sending a clear message and finding closure than stirring confrontation.Yuzvendra also addressed rumours linking him to RJ Mahvash, calling the speculation baseless. He pointed out how being spotted with someone often leads to unfounded media gossip, adding that speaking up only invites further trolling because “people just want masala.”According to a report by Bar and Bench, Chahal paid Rs 4.75 crore as alimony to Dhanashree Verma. Despite ongoing speculation, both have maintained a dignified silence regarding the real reason behind their separation.
