Chahal recently shared an Instagram Story that caused quite a stir: a screenshot of a court ruling stating that “financially independent wives cannot demand alimony from their husbands.” He captioned it in Hindi, “Maa Kasam Khao Nahi Paltoge iss Decision Seh” (roughly, “Swear on your mother you will not go back on this decision”).
The post was quickly deleted, but not before social-media users captured screenshots and began speculating about his motives.
Timing, Context & Possible Intentions
This post comes in the backdrop of Chahal’s high-profile separation from Dhanashree Verma, which had already attracted considerable public attention. Because the timing aligns with their divorce proceedings, many interpreted Chahal’s story as a pointed message directed at his ex-wife: a commentary on alimony, financial independence, and perhaps unresolved issues between them. While Chahal did not explicitly name Verma, the context strongly suggests the post was more than a neutral share of a legal verdict.

On the broader issues of marriage/relationship, he said: “A relationship is like a compromise. If one gets angry, the other has to listen… Sometimes the nature of two people does not match.”
He added “I had suicidal thoughts… I was so much into it… I used to cry for 2 hours. I used to sleep just for 2 hours.”
Reactions, Speculation & Aftermath
Social-media reactions ranged from seeing the post as a thinly-veiled dig at Verma to viewing it as a tongue-in-cheek commentary on alimony culture. The large number of screenshots that circulated shows the post resonated widely—even in its brief lifespan. Meanwhile, the fact that the verdict text was highlighted in the story added fuel to speculation about Chahal’s mindset and his feelings about the split.
Since the post’s deletion, the moment remains a talking point in the ongoing public narrative of their separation, with chatter about whether this reflected lingering acrimony, a strategic move, or simply a social-media misstep.
