Yuzvendra Chahal Speaks Out on Cheating Claims | IndiaWorld.in
Yuzvendra Chahal, one of India’s most talked-about cricketers, has finally addressed the swirling rumors surrounding his divorce from Dhanashree Verma. In a heartfelt and direct statement, Chahal dismissed the cheating allegations made by his ex-wife, calling them “baseless and exhausting.” His response has sparked a wave of reactions across social media, especially among fans in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru.
For those unfamiliar with the controversy, Dhanashree Verma—currently a contestant on the reality show Rise And Fall—claimed in a candid chat with Kubbra Sait that she caught Chahal cheating just two months into their marriage. The statement quickly went viral, leading to intense speculation and online debates.
However, Chahal has now spoken up. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he said:
“I am a sportsperson and I do not cheat. Agar koi two months mein hi cheat karta toh itna lamba relationship chalta kya?”
He emphasized that their marriage lasted 4.5 years, and if the allegations were true, the relationship wouldn’t have continued for so long. He added that he has moved on and urged others to do the same.
Emotional Closure and Public Reaction
Chahal made it clear that this would be the last time he speaks about his past. He said:
“Mai iss chapter ko bhula chuka hun. Koi kuch bhi keh deta hai, and social media pe chal jata hai. 100 baatein chalti hain, but the truth is only one.”
His words reflect the emotional toll the rumors have taken. He also hinted that some people are still using his name for attention:
“Unka ghar mere naam se chal raha hai… they can continue doing that. I am not concerned or affected.”
This statement has resonated with many fans who believe Chahal deserves peace and privacy.
