Dhanashree Verma to pay tax on her Rs. 4.75 crore alimony?
Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal’s divorce turned out to be one of the messy divorces where fans didn’t hold off from bashing the other. While neither Yuzvendra nor Dhanashree has commented on why they decided to go their separate ways, netizens have come up with enough theories of their own. While some called out Dhanashree for being a gold-digger which was further hinted at by Yuzvendra’s ‘Be your own sugar daddy’ T-shirt, others believe that it was the cricketer who cheated on his wife. Dhanashree’s infidelity song, Dekha Ji Dekha Maine, released on the day of her divorce, further fueled this theory.
