Dhanashree Verma Shares Emotions on Navigating Divorce:

During the podcast, Dhanashree revealed that she broke down in tears when the court officially declared the divorce verdict, confirming their separation. She described the moment as overwhelming and emotional, expressing how difficult it was to process the reality of her marriage ending despite preparing herself for the outcome.

She said, “ I genuinely feel that the day it actually happened, it was very emotional for me and my family. I still remember when I was standing there and the verdict was about to be given, even though you are so mentally prepared that it is going to happen, it was still so emotional. I literally started howling and crying in front of everybody. I cannot even express what I was feeling at that point of time.”

She further said, “ He walked out first, that whole thing happened with the T-shirt and media, and I wasn't aware about it because I was still inside. I got out from the back gate because I was not liking that. It was just very sad, you don't want cameras all over your face. Humko kuch nahi bataana tha, I was wearing a normal t-shirt and jeans. I sat in the car, my best friend was there with me, and we were still trying to grasp our breath. It was that shaky moment, especially when you know people will blame you only.”

Team India’s T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, opened up about the moment he first met his wife, Devisha Shetty, during an appearance on the chat show Who’s the Boss?, hosted by Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra. Recalling their first meeting in 2012, Suryakumar said it was “love at first sight” when he saw Devisha near the college where he had studied. Devisha, a student at the time, was introduced to him by a mutual friend.

Sharing the story, Suryakumar said, “Main college ke samne katte pe baitha tha apne doston ke saath. She came walking from the other side of the college, and I just happened to notice her. I saw our mutual friend was talking to someone. And I was like, ‘bro, I am standing here. who are you talking to?’ Then I saw Devisha walking towards us.” He continued, “He literally ran towards her. She came from behind the bus stand, and it was a love-at-first-sight moment. I was literally brushing aside my friends to see who she was. Then I told my friend, ‘what are you doing, at least introduce me.’ She just talked to my friend and left.”

Devisha also shared her perspective, saying, “In 2012, he was an ex-student of the college that I was studying in. He was with a common friend, and that guy made us meet.” Suryakumar, who was determined to stay in touch, managed to get Devisha’s BBM pin from the mutual friend. He revealed, “He messaged me [on BBM], but I didn’t accept it… Then he messaged me on Facebook, and we used to video call on Skype.”

From College Crush to Cricket Stardom

The couple, who tied the knot in July 2016 after dating for a few years, are now among the most popular cricketing pairs on social media. They were recently spotted at Wimbledon 2025. Devisha admitted that she didn’t know who Suryakumar was when they first met, saying, “He was not too popular at that time.” Reflecting on his rise, she said, “Never thought that life would bring us here. It’s good to see the growth from just being there in MI, not playing any games. I think he played one game in three years.”
