Dhanashree Shares First Post After Taking Dig At Ex Chahal Over 'Sugar Daddy' Tee: 'Most Powerful...'
Last Updated: Dhanashree Verma shares her first post after speaking on Yuzvendra Chahal's 'sugar daddy' tee, calling out the public spectacle around their divorce. Almost a month after cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal addressed his divorce from Dhanashree Verma, the actor-dancer has now opened up about her side of the story. In a candid conversation with Humans of Bombay, Dhanashree recalled her emotional breakdown during their final divorce hearing and took a swipe at Chahal for sporting a 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy" t-shirt on the same day. While her remarks have sparked mixed reactions online, with some trolling her and others praising her honesty, Dhanashree seemed unfazed. She recently reposted a message from a user calling her 'truly the most powerful girl," marking her first social media update since the podcast went viral. Dhanashree Recalls Emotional Breakdown Speaking about the final day in court, Dhanashree revealed how overwhelming the moment was for her. 'I still remember when I was standing there and the verdict was about to be given. Even though we were so well-prepared mentally, I got so emotional. I started howling in front of everybody. I couldn't even express what I was feeling at that point. I just kept crying," she said. She added that while she was breaking down, Chahal left the courtroom first, drawing even more attention to the proceedings. Her Dig At Chahal's 'Sugar Daddy' Tee On the same day, Chahal made headlines after being spotted in a t-shirt that read 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy." Addressing the viral moment, Dhanashree questioned the need for such a public gesture. 'You know that people are going to blame you. Before I had even known that this T-shirt stunt had happened, we were all aware that people were going to blame me for this," she explained. Expressing her surprise, she added, 'Are bhai, WhatsApp kar deta. T-shirt kyun pehna hai? (You should have sent it on WhatsApp. Why wear the t-shirt?)" Chahal's Side Of The Story Dhanashree's comments came just days after Yuzvendra Chahal shared his perspective on Raj Shamani's podcast, where he denied all cheating allegations. 'When I was going through the divorce thing, people labelled me as a cheater. I have never cheated. You will not get a more loyal person than me. For my loved ones, I think from my heart. I have never asked, just given," Chahal said. He admitted the couple had chosen to remain silent about their issues until the very end. 'It was going on for a long while. We decided we do not want to show the people. Until we reached the point of end, we were like a normal couple on social media," he explained. Chahal also addressed online rumours linking him with other women. 'Just because you are seen with someone, you will link up with someone and write for views. The problem is if you react once, there will be more people who will come knowing you will react," he added. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
