Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and renowned choreographer Dhanashree Verma have recently been the focus of widespread media attention following the official confirmation of their divorce. The duo, whose romantic journey had once been adored by countless fans, formally ended their marriage on February 20, citing 'compatibility concerns' as the primary factor behind their decision to part ways.
Their love story, which had been celebrated by many, has now taken a different turn, leaving admirers of the couple reflecting on their cherished past moments.
Dhanashree, a talented dancer and former participant on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 11, found herself in the limelight during her time on the show. One particularly notable moment occurred when Yuzvendra made a guest appearance, demonstrating his unwavering support for his former partner. During a lighthearted game segment hosted by popular entertainers Rithvik Dhanjani and Gauahar Khan, the former couple engaged in an amusing guessing game. As part of the activity, they had to identify words displayed on placards while their partner provided clues.
At one point, Dhanashree held up a placard bearing the word 'Diamond.' Yuzvendra, with a playful glint in his eye, teasingly hinted, "The thing you always ask for." Caught off guard, Dhanashree responded with a confused expression, "What?" which visibly surprised Gauahar Khan, adding to the humor of the situation.
As Dhanashree attempted to decode the hint, Yuzvendra elaborated further, saying, "Whenever we have disagreements, you always request something." Pondering aloud, Dhanashree hesitantly guessed, "Apologize?" but failed to land on the right answer within the allotted time. Upon finally discovering that the word on the placard was ‘Diamond,’ she appeared visibly taken aback, questioning Yuzvendra about when she had ever asked for one. In response, the cricketer humorously gestured towards his earrings, subtly implying that they were symbolic of such demands. The moment led to an outburst of laughter among the audience and judges, adding a touch of levity to the episode.
Yuzvendra’s presence on the dance reality show was met with enthusiasm, particularly from judge Farah Khan, who couldn’t resist playfully teasing him about his past dance lessons with Dhanashree. The cricketer candidly shared that he had reached out to her through common acquaintances for virtual dance sessions. However, to his amusement, she had taken nearly two weeks to respond. Describing himself as a dedicated learner, Yuzvendra revealed that he had diligently trained under her guidance for approximately two months, underscoring his commitment to mastering the art of dance.
This particular episode also marked the first occasion where Yuzvendra witnessed Dhanashree's live performance. He took a moment to express admiration for her unwavering support during his cricket matches, a sentiment that she reciprocated by delivering an emotional dance act alongside her choreographer. Their performance beautifully depicted their journey as a couple, leaving an emotional impact on the judges, including Malaika Arora, Arshad Warsi, and Farah Khan, as well as special guest Raveena Tandon, all of whom lauded her heartfelt presentation.
Despite the conclusion of their marital relationship, the pair’s interactions on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 left fans with cherished memories. Their lighthearted banter, mutual appreciation, and shared history made the news of their divorce even more poignant for those who had followed their journey from the beginning.
