Dhanashree Verma - the wife of cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal - has finally responded to the growing divorce rumours surrounding her marriage.
The dancer and choreographer took to social media to address the ongoing speculation, which has been fueled by baseless reports and online trolls.
For the past few days, speculations about Chahal and Verma’s relationship have dominated the news cycle, with reports suggesting that the couple is heading for an inevitable divorce.
Sources close to the couple claim that the separation is imminent, although the exact reasons behind the split remain unclear. An anonymous source revealed, “The divorce is inevitable, and it’s only a matter of time before it becomes official. It’s evident that both have decided to part ways.”
Meanwhile, Chahal, who was recently spotted with an unidentified woman, has remained silent on the matter. The latest sighting has only added fuel to the fire, sparking even more rumours about the couple's relationship.
In response to these claims, Verma took to Instagram, posting a heartfelt message. She began by expressing the emotional toll the situation has had on her and her family, writing, “The past few days have been incredibly tough for my family and me. What’s truly upsetting is the baseless writing, devoid of fact-checking, and the character assassination of my reputation by faceless trolls spreading hate. I’ve worked hard for years to build my name and integrity.”
Verma’s post further emphasised her stance on the matter, declaring, “My silence is not a sign of weakness; but of strength. While negativity spreads easily online, it takes courage and compassion to uplift others. I choose to focus on my truth and move forward, holding onto my values. The truth stands tall without the need for justification. Om Namah Shivaay.”
Despite Verma’s strong message, social media continues to be rife with criticism. Several users have commented on her career, with some claiming that her marriage to Chahal was a strategic move to gain fame. One user suggested, “Dhanashree wanted fame, so she married Chahal because her TikTok career couldn’t give her that popularity.” Another pointed out, “She successfully finished a cricketing career, enjoyed his money, bought expensive things, traveled a lot, got new contacts because of him…”
Some also weighed in on Chahal’s recent dip in form, with one user remarking, “Dhanashree was an emerging dancer/influencer when Yuzi started commenting on her posts. But she got the fame at the later stage of their marriage while Yuzi’s career graph started going downhill after T20I snub post-2021! Gotta feel for Yuzi.”
The controversy further intensified following a viral image of Dhanashree Verma with choreographer Pratik Utekar. The two were seen posing together at the finale party of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 11, leading some netizens to speculate about the closeness between them.
