What Led to Chahal and Dhanashree’s Divorce?
According to reports, Chahal and Dhanashree’s differences over moving to Mumbai became a point of contention. After their wedding in December 2020, the couple initially lived in Chahal’s family home in Haryana. However, Dhanashree reportedly wanted to relocate to Mumbai, while Chahal was firm about staying with his parents.
Senior entertainment journalist Vickey Lalwani shed light on this issue, calling it the “Mumbai-Haryana jhagda”.

Yes, this Mumbai-Haryana jhagda was one of the main reasons why this much-in-the-paparazzi-world marriage ended. Yuzi was clear that he wouldn’t uproot himself from his parents’ home and surroundings.”
