Chahal Hits Back at Cheating Claims; ‘Her House Still Runs In My Name’

Ever watch a reality show and wonder where the drama ends and real life begins? Yeah, it just got a whole lot blurrier for cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his ex-wife Dhanashree Verma.

Dhanashree recently dropped a bombshell on the show ‘Rise & Fall’. She claimed she caught Chahal cheating just two months into their marriage. That’s a huge accusation to make on national television, and it spread like wildfire.

But now, Chahal is firing back. And he’s not holding anything back.

“I Do Not Cheat”

In a series of interviews around October 8-9, 2025, Chahal completely shut down the allegations. His message was simple and direct. “I am a sportsperson and I do not cheat,” he stated, making it clear he sees this as an attack on his character.

Here’s the thing, he’s also questioning the logic of it all. He asked how their relationship could have possibly lasted 4.5 years if something so serious happened right at the start. It’s a fair question, right?

Their timeline adds another layer to this whole story:

  • December 2020: The couple gets married.
  • February 2021: The alleged cheating incident, according to Dhanashree.
  • 2022: They started living separately.
  • March 2025: Their divorce was finalized.

A Closed Chapter with a Final Word

Chahal insists this is a “closed chapter” for him and that he’s moved on, focusing on his life and his game. But honestly, he left everyone with one final, jaw-dropping comment.

He said, “Abhi bhi unka ghar mere naam se chal raha hai.” For those who don’t speak Hindi, that translates to their house still running in his name. It’s a powerful statement that suggests she still benefits from his identity, even after their divorce and a reported settlement of ₹4.75 crore.

After their divorce was finalized in March 2025, this public drama is a twist nobody saw coming. Dhanashree had already opened up about the emotional toll of the divorce in a podcast back in August 2025, but these new claims on ‘Rise & Fall’ took things to a whole new level.

So, what do you think? With both sides telling completely different stories, who are you more likely to believe in this public fallout?
