Chahal celebrates virtual Karwa Chauth with wife Dhanashree; fans call it 'couple goals'

Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal is currently preparing for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia alongside the Indian squad. Despite being on a different continent, Chahal found a way to celebrate the festival of 'Karwa Chauth' with wife Dhanashree Verma. In a video shared on Instagram, the couple can be seen celebrating the festival on virtual mode, which in turn gave major relationship goals to their fans.

In the video, Dhanashree can be seen looking at Yuzvendra’s face before looking at the moon. She then breaks her fast by drinking some water. She donned a red ethnic outfit while performing the Karwa Chauth rituals, while Chahal can be seen dressed in his casuals.
