Overview
- Yuzvendra Chahal posted and quickly deleted an Instagram story quoting a Delhi High Court line that financially independent wives cannot demand alimony, captioned, “Maa kasam khao nahi paltoge iss decision seh.”
- The deleted post circulated widely and was interpreted by many as a veiled reference to ex‑wife Dhanashree Verma following their March 20 Bombay High Court divorce.
- Chahal’s sister, Kenaa Dwivedi, shared a Bhai Dooj note praising his respect for women and his silence when “the world turns mean,” which outlets read as an indirect rebuttal.
- Chahal commented “4 crores only” on Shikhar Dhawan’s Instagram photos, to which Dhawan replied “Deal pakki,” extending the public banter around the reported payout.
- Media have variously reported a settlement near Rs 4–4.75 crore, though the amount has not been formally confirmed by both parties and Verma has said talk of alimony is wrong.
