Indian leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma have opened up about their love story. The couple narrated the tale from meeting each other for the first time to deciding to marry each other.
During the lockdown, Chahal texted Dhanashree after watching some of her dance performances on TikTok. The 32-year-old also said that he wanted to learn something at that period and inquired if she might offer online sessions. He added that they didn’t communicate much initially and only talked about dance-related topics.
“I had DMd her, having seen her dance on TikTok and a number of other reels. First two months, we didn’t talk about anything else but dance. I didn’t flirt at all. We are not even friends, only had dance-related talks,” Chahal said on the Ranveer Show.
He went on to say that after continuous conversations, he liked her vibe as she is a self-made woman, just as he is. He added that he told Dhanashree that he did not want to date but marry her.
“I liked her vibes. She is a self-made woman like I am a self-made man. Then I told her (Dhanashree) I don’t want to date you, I want to marry you. I said that straight away. I was sure. We had a lot of chats,” he added.
Decency is what I loved about Chahal: Dhanashree
Surprisingly, Dhanashree revealed that she had no idea Chahal was an esteemed Indian cricketer when they first spoke. She further stated that the cricketer was a very committed student who worked hard to accomplish whatever project was assigned to him. She went on to say that it was his decency that drew her attention.
“When he messaged me that he wanted to take dance classes, I had no clue who Yuzi Chahal was. He was very sincere about dance and I liked it. Whenever I would give him homework, he would practice too. He used to send videos, asking where he can do good. This is why the classes lasted for 2 months. Decency is what I loved about him. The way, as a student who he was with him, as a friend who he was with me, and the direct approach, no one does that,” said Dhanashree.
