Chahal and Dhanashree tied the knot in December 2020 and initially moved to Haryana to live with Chahal’s parents, marking the beginning of their marital journey.
Reports suggest that Dhanashree wanted to relocate to Mumbai, while Chahal preferred staying in Haryana with his parents. This disagreement reportedly became a major conflict in their relationship.
Senior entertainment journalist Vickey Lalwani claimed that the Mumbai-Haryana dispute was one of the main reasons behind their separation, as Chahal was unwilling to leave his family home.
The couple’s divorce was finalized on March 20, 2025, on mutual terms, just before Chahal’s commitments for IPL 2025, which started on March 22.
Initial reports suggested that Dhanashree demanded Rs 60 crore as alimony, but her family dismissed these claims as ‘baseless.’ Chahal reportedly agreed to pay Rs 4.75 crore instead.
Amid the divorce controversy, RJ Mahvash, rumored to be dating Chahal, posted a cryptic message on social media, seemingly taking a dig at Dhanashree’s alimony settlement.
Dhanashree faced online backlash and trolling for the alimony she received. However, neither she nor Chahal has publicly commented on these accusations.
The couple was granted a waiver of the six-month cooling-off period, allowing them to finalize their divorce faster due to Chahal’s professional commitments.
Despite numerous reports, neither Chahal nor Dhanashree has confirmed the relocation dispute as the primary reason for their divorce, maintaining that they separated amicably.
While Chahal is focusing on his cricketing career, Dhanashree continues to engage with her fans through social media and professional work in the entertainment industry.
