Dhanashree Verma Addresses "Fake Marriage" Rumours After Divorce With Yuzvendra Chahal
"There is a reason why we say 'personal life'. It has to be private. And look, a coin has two sides. Taali ek haath se to bajti nahi (You can't clap with one hand). Just because I am not speaking it doesn't give anyone the power to take advantage of that. It is not correct. I think it should not happen with anybody," said Dhanashree.
Dhanashree added that while she has her side of the story and could share it in the future, she is currently focused on her career.
"If you want to achieve great things, you don't have to address it again and again. I do have a lot to speak about it, I have my side of my story, do I want to delve into that? No. Do I wish to delve into that? Maybe, in the future," she added.
Chahal and Dhanashree Verma in March this year were granted the decree of divorce by the Mumbai family court. The couple tied the knot in December 2020. 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.
The Bombay High Court in March requested the family court to decide the divorce plea. The high court also waived the six-month cooling period stipulated for every couple after filing of the divorce plea under the Hindu Marriage Act.
Chahal and Verma had filed a joint petition before the high court, seeking that the cooling-off period be waived in their case as they applied for divorce by mutual consent.
The petition had also prayed for a direction to the family court to decide the divorce petition expeditiously.

According to Future Market Insights, the global plant-based milk market is projected to grow from USD 21.9 billion in 2025 to USD 52.4 billion by 2035. 'Environmental and ethical considerations, including avoiding the animal exploitation inherent in the dairy industry, have also emerged as significant factors,' says Sachin Rajvansh, nutritionist and advanced Iyengar yoga practitioner. He adds, 'More than fad the benefits can be felt from inside as per yog perspective. The satisfaction of not harming animals gives deep satisfaction. Plant-based milks (especially almond, oat, coconut) are seen as more satvik compared to animal milk, which is often linked with heaviness, lethargy, or attachment. Satvik food supports clarity of mind, balance, and spiritual practice.' Tastier options Healthier and more sustainable, plant-based milks have become a staple in hotel kitchens too.

Matchmaker Sima Taparia turned me down because of my religion, says TV actor Nausheen Ali Sardar
Television actor and model Nausheen Ali Sardar recently shared a surprising anecdote about Indian Matchmaking-fame matchmaker, Sima Taparia. Appearing on Siddharth Kannan's YouTube show, Nausheen revealed that when she sought assistance in finding a life partner during the COVID-19 period, Sima turned her down due to her religious background. Nausheen Ali Sardar highlighted the absurdity of Sima Taparia's traditional views on women and expressed frustration over being judged based on religion despite her diverse upbringing. Nausheen describes her interaction with Sima Taparia 'My sister approached her because the show was such a hit. But when I told her I was open to marrying someone from a Catholic, Sikh, or Punjabi background, Sima said, 'No, we can't find you someone because you're Muslim.' I couldn't help laughing at how absurd it was," Nausheen said. Nausheen further criticised Sima's traditional stance on how women should behave, noting that on Indian Matchmaking, Sima often advised women to 'stay quiet' and 'keep their eyes down.' She said it felt 'outdated', adding that it was ironic that the same person with such views also refused to help her because of her religion. With her diverse cultural upbringing, being raised by an Iranian mother and Punjabi father and schooled in a Catholic environment, Nausheen expressed frustration over the matchmaker's narrow approach. 'What exactly is the right match for me?' she wondered, highlighting how her multifaceted identity didn't fit neatly into conventional categories. Nausheen's career Nausheen Ali Sardar rose to fame with the title role in the popular early 2000s TV show Kkusum on Sony Entertainment Television, which made her a household name. She became a prominent face on Indian television. Over the years, she appeared in shows like Beend Banoongaa Ghodi Chadhunga, The Adventures of Hatim, and Alif Laila. Nausheen also ventured into films such as Three: Love, Lies and Betrayal and Do Dilon Ke Khel Mein. She participated in reality shows, including Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi and Zor Ka Jhatka: Total Wipeout.
