Dhanashree Verma responds to Yuzvendra Chahal calling their marriage ‘fake': ‘Don't take advantage just because I am not speaking…'

She addressed all the negative comments she received post her divorce with the cricketer and said, 'People need to realise that you cannot label a woman always. When you don't know anything, how are you labelling the woman? People always comment. They commented even when I was not associated with anyone, much before my marriage. They had issues with the energy I danced with.'
In the same podcast, Dhanashree also shared that after her divorce, she feared if the industry will judge her and disassociate with her. 'I was always scared that will I get work after my divorce? I constantly had this thought that, 'Will I be accepted again?' But I feel so happy and blessed that I belong to an industry where nobody has judged me. I am still getting work and being appreciated for the talent that I am carrying. Every director and producer is excited to work with me. The industry is too good.'
Despite an ugly breakup and divorce, Dhanashree is still hopeful to find the Bollywood kind of love. She shared, 'I think we all want love in life. Who doesn't want to be loved? We all hope and sometimes love is also something that drives you also. I agree that self-love is priority, but apart from that if there is something good written for me, ahead of my life then why not? Because everybody including my parents and friends want that for me. I too want something good in life. Love is very Bollywood and I want to go through all that.'
Dhanashree and Yuzvendra tied the knot in December 2020. However, after over 4 years of marriage, they finalised their divorce on March 20 this year.
