Dhanashree Verma Takes Dig At Yuzvendra Chahal: 'Not Scared Of Ghosts, But Podcasts'
After Yuzvendra Chahal's recent podcast with Raj Shamani, actress Dhanashree Verma has also finally broken her silence on her divorce with the Indian cricketer. This is the first time Dhanashree opened up about trolling and divorce.
In a chat with Humans Of Bombay, Dhanashree spoke about several allegations Yuzvendra Chahal has put on her on the Raj Shamani podcast and joked, 'Pata nahi kaun kal uth ke podcast pe aa jaye kya bol de. So much fear with that to start off with." She laughed as she added, 'Mujhe bhoot se nahi dar lagta. I am not scared of ghosts. I am not scared of dark. It's crazy, it's true. I am actually not scared of ghosts, darkness, heights, nothing. But podcasts."
While she didn't mention a specific podcast, the interview came after Chahal's sit-down chat with Raj Shamani, which looked like a direct dig at him.
The actress revealed that she broke down before the final verdict on their divorce was given, unlike Chahal.
'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," Dhanashree said.
About Dhanashree Verma
Dhanashree Verma is an Indian choreographer, dancer, YouTuber, and dentist by qualification. She gained fame with her dance videos on YouTube and later became a finalist on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11. In December 2020, Dhanashree and Yuzvendra Chahal left their fans buzzing as they took the plunge and got married.
But their happiness was short-lived, and soon after their marriage, reports of trouble in paradise started to grab attention. In 2025, the couple headed for divorce. They were granted a divorce on March 20 and had been living separately for 18 months.
Dhanashree on Chahal's T-shirt stunt
Chahal came to the final day wearing a black T-shirt with 'Be Your Own Sugar Daddy' printed on it in a big font. Reacting to that, Dhanashree in the same interview said, '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. Arre bhai, WhatsApp kar deta. T-shirt kyu pehna hai? (You should have sent it on WhatsApp, why wear the T-shirt?)."

Hyderabad gamers hail Online Gaming Bill as boost for esports, curb on addiction
Gamers, creators and developers in Hyderabad on Wednesday welcomed the passage of the Online Gaming Bill, 2025, in the Lok Sabha, describing it as a long-awaited step to curb the menace of real-money gaming (RMG) while opening up space for esports and skill-based gaming to grow. For Vinay Vangala, a Panjagutta resident who lodged a police complaint in March against online betting platforms, the development felt deeply personal. 'It is a relief to see this addressed at a national level,' he said. 'Both the State and Central governments have been clear about ending this menace. I am thankful to the Hyderabad and Cyberabad police for going after offenders, whether common people or celebrities.' Vinay admitted that he too had once been tempted. 'My friends in Ameerpet had told me about quick money through online games. I almost fell for it but after doing some research, I realised it was illegal. That was when I approached the Panjagutta police and filed a complaint.' His complaint encouraged others to share their struggles. Hyderabad's esports and gaming community have welcomed the Bill for shifting the conversation away from gambling-like activities. Dhanu Dino, a Malkajgiri resident and popular gaming influencer who runs Telugu Gaming FF with over 2.45 million YouTube subscribers, called it a chance to redirect energy toward esports. 'This move will push focus back to esports. The Telugu influencer community had already distanced itself from RMG two years ago. The future is esports, not betting apps.' Dhanu explained that a successful, thriving career can be built sans the RMG method. 'If you just create good content on YouTube, Instagram or streaming apps, you can be assured of a career. I am buying a house this year with the money I earned through esports, YouTube revenue and streaming; never RMG or ads,' he added. He hoped the new law would mean 'the next generation won't even know what RMG is'. Meanwhile, developers say that the Bill is an overdue chance to separate video gaming from the taint of betting platforms. Sameer Chengappa, a game designer at Funfinity Interactive currently working on AS:RA Ashen Skies: Radiant Arena, emphasised that esports and traditional gaming should never be confused with gambling. 'The problem is that video games are being lumped together with RMG in the digital space. RMG is not gaming, it is closer to gambling which has its own regulations. Esports, video games and online gambling are all very different,' he said. He added, 'If the same rules applying to RMG are imposed on us, the industry simply cannot grow. This initiative was about drawing that line clearly.' 'Though this move cannot undo the loss we suffered, maybe others can be spared from such a fate,' said Sai Prasad, a private company employee from Musheerabad, adding that he lost his friend to online gambling addiction last year.

The controversy regarding Fortnite's Kai Cenat skin explained
Image via Twitter/HYPEX. Following the footsteps of Ninja, MrBeast, and many more, hugely popular streamer Kai Cenat is also coming into Fortnite as he will soon receive his own skin in the game. Along with the outfit, Cenat is set to receive other stuff as well like Backbling, Pickaxe, and more. However, unlike the other streamers and YouTubers, Cenat's entry in Fortnite hasn't been received well by the fans as his upcoming skin is brutally criticized for several reasons. Let's explore all the downsides of this skin. Why is the Kai Centa skin Fortnite facing huge backlash from the fans? The root of the controversy regarding Kai Cenat's skin in Fortnite circles around a beef with another fellow streamer, Adin Ross. There is no doubt that Adin Ross and the word 'controversy' has become synonymous now-a-days, but it seems, Cenat is at the receiving end this time. This all began when Adin Ross once challenged Kai Cenat to donate $400,000 to a major philanthropic campaign launched by Mr Beast and Mark Rober named TeamWater, which aims to raise $40 million to provide clean drinking water to underprivileged communities. Ross even claimed to donate $400,000 if Cenat does the same, or else he will donate $100,000. But it seems the challenge was never taken care of by Cenat. But how is it linked to Cenat's skin? Usually we see Fortnite skins getting revealed on YouTube or on X via a trailer or a general post, but that wasn't the case with Cenat. His skin was showcased recently via the Las Vegas Sphere, which needs a staggering advertisement price of $450,000 for one day. And this is where Adin's followers have reignited the old controversy, connecting the dots with Cenat's skin. Not only that, another controversy that stemmed up recently was about Cenat's promise about building a school in Makoko Nigeria. Sadly, that promise hasn't yet come to reality, and the Adin Ross crew has found a golden opportunity to blast the young streamer amidst the heat of his Fortnite skin. Some fans were even frustrated to see the Kai Cenat skin in Fortnite in spite of the streamer's low dedication towards the game as compared to other well-known Fortnite streamers. But this logic is absolutely baseless, keeping in mind MrBeast also does have his own skin in Fortnite, but having lesser antiques than Cenat himself.
