Choreographer and digital content creator Dhanashree Verma has spoken candidly about her marriage to Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, describing it as a ‘mistake’ during the reality show Rise and Fall, hosted by Ashneer Grover.

In a conversation with actress Kubbra Sait, Verma revealed that the relationship ran into trouble soon after their wedding in December 2020. Asked when she realised things would not work, she replied: “I caught him just after two months,” implying infidelity on Chahal’s part. Her revelation left Kubbra visibly surprised.

The couple’s relationship began during the Covid-19 lockdown when Verma conducted online dance classes attended by Chahal. Their friendship quickly developed into romance, leading to an engagement in August 2020 and a private wedding ceremony in Gurugram four months later.

However, the marriage was short-lived. In February this year, the two decided to part ways and filed for divorce. Verma confirmed that the separation process was completed in March.

While both have since moved on professionally — Chahal continuing with his cricketing career and Verma focusing on choreography and digital content — their split has remained a subject of public curiosity, particularly with Verma’s latest revelations on national television.
