Dhanashree Verma hits back at Yuzvendra Chahal for wearing 'be your own sugar daddy' T-shirt: ‘Bhai, WhatsApp kar deta'
Dhanashree speaks up
Dhanashree has finally broken her silence, sharing her perspective on her divorce from Chahal, nearly a month after the cricketer first spoke publicly about their separation. She spoke about the divorce when she joined the podcast for Humans of Bombay on YouTube.
Dhanashree revealed she had an emotional breakdown in the court during the final hearing.
Looking back at the final divorce hearing, Dhanashree said, '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 remember that I just kept crying, I was just howling and crying. Of course! All of that happened, and he (Chahal) walked out first.'
Chahal caught everyone's attention when he wore a T-shirt that read 'be Your Own Sugar Daddy' on the day of his final divorce hearing with Dhanashree.
Dhanashree addressed the viral moment too, saying, '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."
Dhanashree recalled seeing videos of Chahal's T-shirt after she left the court. She admitted that she was surprised by the move, saying 'Are bhai, WhatsApp kar deta. T-shirt kyun pehna hai? (You should have sent it on WhatsApp. Why wear the T-shirt?)"
Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree's marriage
Dhanashree and Chahal got married in Gurugram in December 2020. The two met during the Covid-19 pandemic when Chahal asked Dhanashree for dance lessons.
As per their petition, they separated in June 2022. On February 5, they filed a joint petition before the family court seeking divorce by mutual consent. They were granted a divorce in March this year.
When the proceeding were on, there were also murmurs that Dhanashree was seeking ₹60 crore in alimony. However, Dhanashree's family dismissed the claims by issuing a statement. The statement read, "We are deeply outraged by the baseless claims being circulated about the alimony figure. Let me be absolutely clear—no such amount has ever been asked, demanded, or even offered. There is no truth to these rumours whatsoever. It is deeply irresponsible to publish such unverified information, dragging not just the parties but also their families into unnecessary speculation. Reckless reporting like this only causes harm, and we urge the media to exercise restraint, fact-check before spreading misinformation, and be respectful of everyone's privacy."

Dhanashree Verma recalls ‘media circus' around her divorce, Yuzvendra Chahal's ‘Sugar Daddy' tee: ‘It is a reflection of you as a person'
Following cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal's recent appearance on a podcast, his ex-wife and choreographer Dhanashree Verma has reflected on their divorce and how it was not an easy decision to make. 'It's not easy. Divorce is not something that you celebrate. It is something very sad, emotional. Never forget that it's not just you or the other person…it's both families involved in this entire process. People who genuinely care about you, who love you, everyone is dealing with the same emotion. Everybody is sad,' Verma said. Opening up about the courtroom proceedings, Dhanashree added: 'I genuinely feel that the day it actually happened was very emotional for me, my family. I am sure it was extremely emotional for everybody around. I still remember when I was standing there and the verdict was about to be given, even though we are so well prepared, thinking that yeh toh hona hi hai, iskeliye hi aaye hain…when it was happening, I got so emotional…I literally started howling in front of everybody. I cannot even express what I was feeling at that moment.' During the conversation with Humans of Bombay, she also opened up about Chahal's 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' t-shirt, which made headlines. Recalling the sequence of events on the fateful day, she mentioned, 'I think he walked off first and that whole thing happened.' 'The t-shirt, media, and all of that. I was not aware of that because I was still inside. I got out of the back door because you don't want cameras all over your face. I was still crying. It's not a small event in life, but people are going to blame you only. We all were aware that people were going to hate me for this because of the baggage. I am sitting in the car and trying to breathe a sigh of relief that it's over. You want to look forward to your life ahead. Until I looked up at my phone, and I went like…What? Is this even true? Is this what he did? Has this happened? And in that one second, you have billions of thoughts. That moment I was like…'Boss, it's over'! It's done, dusted. Why should I cry? In fact, somewhere I did feel bad trying to gauge why I cried…for this? That was the motivation that I needed to just laugh.' Adding that partners must act mature, she said, 'You have your own battle going on, and there is media circus. I feel, you have to be very mature about this. I have chosen that path. Like I chose maturity over being immature and passing major statements that can appease public. I won't choose that path because I don't want to disrupt my family values. I don't want to disrupt his family values. We have to keep respect intact throughout.' 'I know how much I have stood up for my partner. How you behave on that particular day is actually the reflection of you as a person,' she continued, adding: 'There are good days, bad days in a marriage. But when it ends, that means bad days are really bad days! You have to be mature about it. Arey bhai, WhatsApp kar deta. T-shirt kyu pehna? I have not healed 100 per cent but I am working towards that.' She also mentioned that while women are always blamed and named, it's important to consider that 'a coin has two sides'. 'You can't clap with one hand. Just because I am not speaking up, doesn't give anybody the power to take advantage of that. It's not correct and I don't think it should happen with anybody. I do have lots to speak about it. I have my side of my story. Do I want to dwell into that? No! Do I wish to? future…may be….right now, I need to fix myself.' Taking a cue from her expression, let's understand how divorce is never easy. When a marriage dissolves, it's not only about the husband and wife. Two families, once woven together in trust, in rituals, in love, are suddenly forced to confront rupture. Parents, siblings, children, and even close friends are caught in the cross-currents of grief, guilt, and confusion, said Delnna Rrajesh, psychotherapist, energy healer and life coach. Then there's the noise of the world outside. Acknowledging that the media circus around celebrity divorces makes private pain a public spectacle, Delnna reiterated that divorce isn't just about signing papers. 'It's about unravelling an entire ecosystem of emotions, memories, and bonds,' said Delnna. Allow the grief: Don't force yourself to be 'strong' all the time. Cry. Journal. Sit in silence. Seek therapy. Healing begins by naming the pain. Limit the noise: Step back from gossip, media, and social media during sensitive times. Everyone doesn't need to know your side of the story. Protect your peace. Seek meaning, not blame: Instead of endlessly asking, 'Who ruined this?' ask, 'What can I learn from this?' Growth comes from reflection, not accusation. Surround yourself with compassionate voices: Friends, counsellors, or support groups who see you, not just your 'marital status,' can remind you of your worth. Create rituals of closure: Write a letter you never send. Hold a small private ceremony. Acknowledge what was good, what was broken, and consciously release it.
