'May or may not be true...': Yuzvendra Chahal shares cryptic post amid divorce rumours with Dhanashree Verma

Yuzvendra Chahal has finally addressed the rumors surrounding his marriage to Dhanashree Verma. Earlier on Wednesday, Dhanashree responded to the online chatter of their divorce. Chahal got engaged to Dhanashree, a YouTuber, dance choreographer, and dentist most known for her role on the reality program Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, on August 8, 2020. The pair married in a private ceremony on December 22, 2020, in Gurgaon.

In a long statement concerning "social media posts speculating on issues that may or may not be accurate," Chahal stated that it has caused him and his family tremendous grief.

"I am grateful to all my fans for their unwavering love and support without which, I wouldn't have come this far. But this journey is far from OVER!!! As there are still many incredible OVERS left to deliver for my country, my team, and for my fans!!! While I am proud to be a sportsman, I am also a Son, a Brother, and a Friend. I understand the curiosity surrounding recent events, particularly about my personal life. However, I have noticed certain social media posts speculating on matters that may or may not be true," he wrote in a long post on his Instagram story.

"As a Son, a Brother and a Friend, I humbly request everyone not to indulge in these speculations, as they have caused immense pain to me and my family. My family values have taught me to always wish well for all, strive to achieve success through dedication and hard work, instead of taking shortcuts, and I remain committed to these values. With Divine Blessings, I shall forever strive to seek your love & support and not sympathy.

Earlier, Dhanashree condemned anonymous trolls for spreading hatred.

"The past few days have been incredibly tough for my family and me. What's truly upsetting is the baseless writing, devoid of fact checking, and the character assassination of my reputation by faceless trolls spreading hate," Dhanashree wrote in a long post on her Instagram story.

"I've worked hard for years to build my name and integrity. My silence is not a sign of weakness; but of strength. While negativity spreads easily online, it takes courage and compassion to uplift others.

"I choose to focus on my truth and move forward, holding onto my values. The truth stands tall without the need for justification."

The rumors initially surfaced in 2023, when Dhanashree removed "Chahal" from her Instagram profile, coinciding with a mystery message from Chahal. At the time, he dismissed the rumors, advising followers not to spread unsubstantiated information. However, the present scenario appears to be more convoluted, with many sources indicating that a split is imminent.

Chahal's attitude demonstrated his commitment to family values and determination to handle the problem with dignity. While he declined to comment on the state of his relationship, he emphasized his dedication to hard work and requested supporters to respect their privacy during this difficult time.

The couple's unexpected breakup has left admirers stunned, since their love story has inspired many. Dhanashree, a well-known choreographer and influencer, previously discussed how their connection evolved during the epidemic, when Chahal sought out to learn to dance. Their path from dancing classes to marriage has enthralled viewers, making the unexpected announcement even more stunning.

As of yet, neither Chahal nor Dhanashree have issued an official statement to corroborate the rumors. While fans continue to speculate, Chahal's statement serves as a reminder to be positive and respect personal boundaries, especially in today's digital environment.
