As news of Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma’s divorce continues to make headlines, an old post from the cricketer’s X (formerly Twitter) account has resurfaced, sparking discussions online.
The post, originally shared in 2013, offers a tongue-in-cheek take on marriage, stating that it is merely a “fancy term” for a woman taking responsibility for a man-child who can no longer be managed by his mother.
Chahal’s post, now viral across multiple social media platforms, reads, “MARRIAGE is just a fancy word for adopting an over-grown male child who can’t be handled by his parents anymore.” While the authenticity of the post hasn’t been ascertained, a screenshot of it has been widely circulated.
For those unfamiliar with the situation, Chahal and Dhanashree, who tied the knot in 2020, have now officially parted ways. After living separately for 18 months, their divorce was finalized on March 20. Confirming the news, Chahal’s advocate, Nitin Kumar Gupta, stated to ANI, “The court has granted the decree of divorce, and both parties are no longer husband and wife.”
The resurfacing of Chahal’s decade-old remark has added a layer of intrigue to the ongoing discussions surrounding their separation, leaving the internet abuzz with reactions and speculations.
