[WATCH] 'Could have disrespected...'- Dhanashree Verma criticizes Yuzvendra Chahal on divorce case

The famous choreographer, Dhanashree Verma, separated from the Indian leg spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal, as it remained one of the most discussed controversies in the ongoing year. Since the divorce case, she had been subjected to ongoing trolling with many unfairly calling her a ‘gold digger.’

Amidst all the ups and downs during a tough period in her life, Verma has now been seen in the reality show called Rise and Fall, where she candidly opened up about her marriage and the backlash she faced. She revealed how she decided to go for dignity over negativity, besides taking a dig at India spinner Chahal and the trolls in the show.

“When you are married, you also hold the responsibility of safeguarding your partner’s respect. If I wanted, I could have disrespected him, too. Don’t think I have anything to say as a woman — I do. But he was my husband. I respected him during our marriage, and even now, I continue to respect the fact that he was my husband.” A clip from a show where Verma expressed her feelings.

Chahal hasn’t gone through a special time with the ball in his cricket career. He hasn’t featured for the national side for several years and is struggling to find the old rhythm with the ball. In 79 innings, the leg spinner has picked up 96 T20I wickets at an average of 25.09 and an economy rate of 8.19.

“I am standing here. The whole world is against me, but I am standing here and getting work done today. I had said this earlier, too. I love the industry because people are still giving me work. I am getting movies, not because of what has happened, but because I have talent. So if I don't stand up for myself, it has nothing to do with experience. It is to do with intent.” Verma addressed.

Dhanashree’s remarks not only highlight her composure but also display her incredible ability to handle the negativity sharply. Chahal didn’t go through a strong and dominating season for the Punjab Kings when they finished as the runners-up in the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
