Yuzvendra Chahal Shares When Dhanashree Said No To His Marriage Proposal, Said Yes On This Condition

Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the primary leg spinners for the Indian cricket team. To say that he has successfully made a name for himself in white-ball cricket would be a sheer understatement. This right-arm leg break bowler hails from Haryana and to date plays for Haryana in domestic cricket.

While he could not show the best of his performances while playing for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL he did so for Royal Challengers Bangalore and now Rajasthan Royals. While taking so many wickets of prominent batsmen from across the world seldom Chahal would have thought he will himself get bowled in the Corona lockdown. How did Dhanashree initially react to his marriage proposal?

In an interview with the Humans of Bombay, Chahal revealed how he got in contact with his now-wife, Dhanashree

Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma are one of the most picture-perfect couples. However, we all know that on one hand, Chahal is a cricketer and Dhanashree is a dancer and social media influencer. The obvious question that comes in is how did they get to meet? Chahal in a recent interview with the Humans of Bombay shared the tale. He told that it was during the lockdown that he got in contact with his now-wife, Dhanashree.

In the 43-minute-long interview, the question of how did it all start in lockdown comes at the very beginning. Chahal narrates the tale by sharing how during the lockdown days he used to stay with his family in their Gurugram house. Be it making TikToks with family or making the Dalgona coffee or playing with his dog the bowler did everything that every individual did in the lockdown phase. Away from his regular routine of playing cricket, the star bowler was keen to do something new and different. That something was to “learn dancing”. That is how he got to know about Dhanashree who used to teach dance online.

I don’t want to waste my time in dating, I want to marry you said, Chahal to Dhanashree

Chahal took online dancing lessons from Dhanashree for about two whole months. The bowler shared that the duo barely talked during the learning phase however one day he asked something to her. He told the Humans of Bombay that he asked her

“Why are you always so happy”

To which she replied

“I am like that only. I like being happy in the smallest of things.”

This simple answer gave Chahal the vibes that he was always seeking. Soon after the star bowler told Dhanashree I don’t want to waste my time in dating, I want to marry you. The proposal however was rejected by Dhanashree.

Initially, Dhanashree rejected the marriage proposal of Chahal but it soon changed into a yes

Now you may wonder why did Dhanashree reject the marriage proposal. What happened afterward that now the duo is married to one another? Well, Dhanashree did say no to Chahal’s proposal but she did so because the duo never met one another before. She asked Chahal to meet her first.

That is when Chahal went to Mumbai in order to meet Dhanashree. Chahal was scared because he did not tell his parents about going to meet Dhanashree in Mumbai. However, it worked out fine because after the meeting Dhanashree accepted the proposal and agreed to marry Chahal.

This interesting love story got official when the duo tied the wedding knot on 22nd December 2020. While many rumors keep surfacing on the internet about their rife the truth is that the couple are as happy as ever. Together!
