It was during lockdown 2020, when Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal urged to learn dance and through his friends, he got to know about Dhanashree Verma, who is a dentist, YouTuber and a choreographer. Chahal approached Verma through Instagram DMs and it was after 10-15 days that he received a reply. And, cut two, their training started. While, Chahal was inside his house for 3 months due to COVID pandemic, he learned dance from Verma.
Later, when COVID lockdown got over, their online classes turned into off-line batches. The dance and student-teacher bond led to a deep connection of love. Dhanashree describes Chahal as humble, down-to-earth, and a family-oriented person which led to a beautiful foundation.
Yuzvendra Chahal was sure about his feeling for Dhanashree and directly proposed her for marriage. While, Dhanashree was surprised by the straightforwardness, she also got attracted to his honesty and decency. To his proposal, Verma said a yes and they started keeping their relationship a secret. In December 2020, they got married in Gurugram and also kept their wedding a close-knit affair. It was only after they shared their photos that the fans got to know about their relationship.
Once, on the reality show, Jhalak Dikhla Ja, Verma talked about their relationship and said, “During the lockdown no matches were happening and all the cricketers were sitting at home and getting frustrated. During that time Yuzi decided one fine day that he wants to learn dance. He had seen my dance videos on social media and back in the day, I used to teach dance and he approached me to be my student. I agreed to teach him. It was very professional student-teacher relationship, I want to make it clear. He took two months training and became a good dancer. Suddenly, after two months he directly proposed to me for marriage. Woh batting karte bhi nahi but unhoney Chakka maar diya direct.”
