Dhanashree on Yuzi: His humility bowled me over

Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, aka Yuzi, recently introduced his lady love, doctor choreograp­her You Tube rD han ash ree Verma to the world, as he shared pictures of their roka ceremony on social media. And since then congratula­tory messages haven’t stopped pouring in, gushes Verma.

Revealing how they first met, she says, “It started off in April. He had seen my dance videos on YouTube. During the lockdown, Yuzi decided to learn a few new things, including dance. So, he got in touch with me and we started our classes. We became friends and sort of felt a connect.”

So who popped the question? “He did and I happily agreed,” says the 28year-old, adding the marriage might happen next year once the Covid situation becomes better, as the couple plans to celebrate their new beginnings with their near and dear ones.

Verma shares the lockdown gave them a lot more time to know each other better as companions. “Yuzi is humble, down-to-earth, friendly and a total family guy. His humility bowled me over. The kind of values I’ve been brought up with, I actually wanted someone like him as my life partner. We’re both ambitious and supportive of each other’s profession­s. We both are fun loving, so there’s never going to be a dull moment,” she laughs.

Admitting she’s a fan of cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Verma is quick to add that she’ll now be rooting for Chahal and his Bangalore team in the upcoming IPL series in UAE.

“I’m going to be his biggest supporter. I wish and hope that Bangalore takes the trophy home and Yuzi does wonders,” says Verma.
