Dhanashree Verma, the popular YouTuber, dancer, and actress, has finally opened up about her divorce from cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. She recently shared her thoughts on a podcast, explaining the emotional journey and the online backlash she faced.
The separation was a deeply emotional time for her. Dhanashree recalled breaking down in tears right there in court as the divorce process began. She felt completely shattered.
She chose to stay quiet for a long time. She felt it was important to protect her family’s privacy. When you get married, it’s all about love. But even when you part ways, respecting family and privacy is key. Her silence, she stressed, did not give anyone permission to disrespect her or take advantage of the situation. She believes no one has the right to insult another person.
A striking moment during the divorce proceedings involved Yuzvendra Chahal’s “Be Your Own Sugar Daddy” T-shirt. Dhanashree shared her shock at seeing social media posts about it right after leaving court. She was in her car, still trying to process everything. That moment, she said, was a turning point. It made her question why she was crying. If someone could act that way, why should she shed tears? On that very day, she made a firm decision: no more tears.
Dhanashree believes that how a person behaves during a divorce speaks volumes about their true character. Showing maturity during such a difficult time is crucial, and she feels her actions reflected her own personality.
The choreographer and actress also addressed the constant online criticism and trolling. She noted that people often judge women and label them without knowing the full story. But these comments and online attacks are nothing new. She admits they are beyond her control and no longer bother her much. Her main focus remains her work and her career.
She shared that even before her marriage, when she posted dance videos on YouTube, she received negative comments. Still, she kept her focus on her passion. She is proud of her work and committed to staying true to herself. She knows she can’t change her profession just because of what people say. Despite the negativity, she continues to do good work and finds consistent opportunities.
