Rahul Chahar, an Indian leg-spinner, has revealed that he and his wife Ishani Johar are split. This news comes just a few weeks before the start of the 2026 Indian Premier League season. After a long court process that took more than 15 months, the 26-year-old bowler said that the marriage, which began in March 2022 in Goa, is over. Many of their friends and followers were shocked when they made the news, since it was almost their fourth wedding anniversary.
Journey of emotions and legal proceedings
Chahar said he got married when he was young, before he knew who he was and what kind of life he wanted to build. He said that the last few years had taught him surprising lessons and helped him grow as a person. The last 15 months were spent going through the court process, which ended with the divorce being finalized. He stressed that the answer needed patience and strength, and that it has made things clear for going forward.
