Indian spinner Rahul Chahar has officially confirmed his divorce from his wife Ishani Johar, announcing on social media that their separation together has come to an end after completing all legal procedures. The 26-year-old married Ishani in Goa on March 9, 2022. In his Instagram post, the Indian cricketer spoke about the past 15 months, describing the period as one spent navigating courtrooms and learning patience, resilience and personal strength.

He shared a heartfelt message acknowledging the challenges and growth he has experienced during this process, marking the conclusion of this chapter in his personal life while expressing hope for the future.
“To Whom It May Concern. I got married young. Before I fully understood myself. My worth, or the life I truly wanted to build. What followed were years of lessons I never expected, and I’ve spent the last 15 months navigating courtrooms, learning the patience, resilience, and strength that some have derived from truth,” Shahar wrote on Instagram.
Shahar opened up about the end of his marriage, describing it as a chapter that ended with clarity and reflection, emphasizing the lessons and personal growth gained from the relationship rather than anger or regret.
The post added: “Today, this chapter of my life officially comes to a close. After due process, the matter has been settled with my decision that cost so much, bringing this phase of my life to an end. I close this chapter not with anger or remorse. But with clarity. Some relationships are not meant to last forever – they are meant to awaken, teach, and transform us.”
Shahar spoke about moving forward with more wisdom and self-awareness, calling the end of his marriage a liberation and a new beginning, saying he takes nothing but the lessons, dignity and courage to create a life built on self-respect, peace and informed choices.
“I move forward wiser, more self-aware, and more confident in the life I deserve to build. This is not an end. It is a liberation. A reset. A promise that everything I create from here will be based on self-respect, peace. And better choices. I carry no bitterness forward – just lessons, dignity and the courage to start again. Sincerely, Rahul Chahar,” he concluded.
