Divorce and alimony, these two terms have been in talks for a long time. As of 2025, India’s divorce rate has been 1 per cent, which is although, lower than in other countries, but a significant increment in the same matter could be noticed by 30-40 per cent in urban areas. Along with divorce, comes another major topic, alimony. Now, as a lot of divorces have been happening in the glamour world, the term ‘alimony’ is doing rounds more. The latest topic is about the cricketer, Yuzvendra Chahal and the dancer, Dhanashree Verma.
Reportedly, Dhanashree Verma is about to get Rs. 4.75 crore alimony for her divorce from Yuzvendra Chahal. This didn’t go well with a whole lot of people, who argued how could someone in the dancer’s status get this large amount when the marriage only lasted for 18 months? But to mention, neither Dhanashree nor Yuzi has opened up about the same. Amid this, let us know about the only female celebrity in India who rejected crores of alimony after her divorce from a superstar.
