One of the most talked-about splits of early 2025 was that of dancer-choreographer Dhanashree Verma and Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. Rumors of trouble in paradise had been sizzling on social media before the couple made it official. They filed for divorce in February 2025 at the Bandra family court, after reportedly living separately for months.
The news stunned their massive fanbase. As whispers of extramarital affairs emerged, the legal process moved swiftly. Their divorce was finalized the following month. Both individuals later addressed the split in various podcast interviews, each presenting their perspective on what led to the cracks in their marriage.

Reports suggest the breakup was cordial, with both parties choosing to remain amicable and focus on their thriving careers. In an interview with NDTV, Bhatia reflected on her personal life, stating her desire to be a life partner who makes the other feel blessed to have her.
Canceled Weddings and Allegations of Abuse
Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana's Called-Off Wedding
Music composer Palash Muchhal and Indian cricket vice-captain Smriti Mandhana had shared their joyous journey towards marriage with dreamy social media posts of their proposal and pre-wedding rituals. However, in a disappointing turn, the wedding was officially canceled.
The couple cited serious health issues in the family as the reason. While cheating rumors circulated widely, Muchhal took to social media to dismiss these controversial statements. They expressed disappointment over the spread of false information and clarified that the event was not postponed but canceled.
Celina Jaitly's Harrowing Allegations Against Peter Haag
In one of the most serious cases, former actress and LGBTQ+ activist Celina Jaitly filed for divorce from her husband, Peter Haag, earlier in the year. Her plea to the court, as reported by The Hindu, contained grave allegations.
Jaitly accused Haag of physical, sexual, emotional, and verbal abuse. Under the Domestic Violence Act, she charged him with domestic violence, cruelty, and manipulation. Her plea stated that he prevented her from working and described him as a "narcissistic, self-absorbed individual" with a short temper and alcoholic tendencies that caused her consistent stress.
The year 2025 served as a stark reminder that behind the glittering facade of fame, celebrities navigate the same complex emotions and challenges in relationships as anyone else. These splits, each with its unique narrative, dominated the news cycle and public conversation, proving that the personal lives of stars remain a subject of intense public fascination and scrutiny.
