Yuzvendra Chahal shares cryptic post after Dhanashree Verma's comments about divorce: ‘Million feelings, zero words'
Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal recently shared a cryptic post, his first after ex-wife Dhanashree Verma's first public comments about their divorce, her reaction to wearing 'be your own sugar daddy' T-shirt and the harsh online trolling she faced after the split. Dhanashree and Chahal got married in Gurugram in December 2020.(dhanashree9/Instagram) Yuzvendra Chahal gets cryptic on Instagram Dhanashree spoke about her divorce from Chahal for the first time when she joined the podcast for Humans of Bombay on YouTube. The chat came nearly a month after the cricketer first spoke publicly about their separation. The interview went viral on social media on Wednesday. Hours after Dhanashree's interview, Chahal took to Instagram to share a cryptic post that appeared to be a response to the controversy sparked by her comments. The note was about having several 'feelings' but no 'words'. In his post, Chahal shared a series of photos taken at Kirkstone Pass in England, featuring majestic mountain backdrops. The pictures captured him in different moods – one with his arms stretched out, and others lost in thought, gazing at the scenery. Sharing the images, he wrote, 'Million feelings, Zero words.' The caption made many social media users wonder if it is his way of responding to Dhanashree. 'Be your own sugar daddy,' one joked. 'Bhai whatsapp pr bolna tha na (You should have said through Whatsapp),' quipped another, using a reference from Dhanashree's statement about his response. 'Dhanashree ka podcast dekhkar aya hai (This has come after watching Dhanashree's podcast),' read one comment. What did Dhanashree say In the interview, Dhanashree revealed that she broke down in the court during the final hearing. She 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.' Dhanashree also spoke about Chahal's decision to wear a T-shirt that read 'be Your Own Sugar Daddy' on the day of the final divorce hearing. She said, '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. Arre bhai, WhatsApp kar deta. T-shirt kyun pehna hai? (You should have sent it on WhatsApp. Why wear the T-shirt)?" Dhanashree, a choreographer and model, 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.

Frank Caprio, the retired Rhode Island municipal judge who became a household name through the show Caught in Providence, passed away at the age of 88 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. The news was shared on his official social media pages on Wednesday, along with a heartfelt tribute describing him as 'beloved for his compassion, humility, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people.' It added that his humour, kindness, and warmth 'touched countless lives.' 'Judge Caprio touched the lives of millions through his work in the courtroom and beyond. His warmth, humour, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him. He will be remembered not only as a respected judge, but as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. His legacy lives on in the countless acts of kindness he inspired,' the post read. A post shared by Judge Frank Caprio (@therealfrankcaprio) Just a day before his passing, Caprio had shared a moving message on Instagram, asking his followers to keep him in their thoughts as he faced another round in his cancer battle. 'Unfortunately, I've had a setback, and I'm back at the hospital,' he said in a video, adding, 'As I continue this difficult battle, your prayers will lift my spirit. I'm a great believer in the power of prayers. A post shared by Judge Frank Caprio (@therealfrankcaprio) His son David Caprio took to Instagram to break the news. 'It is with profound sadness that I with you the news that my father judge Frank Caprio passed away today peacefully, surrounded by family and friends. After a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

'In his memory, please spread a little kindness today,' he further adds. A post shared by Judge Frank Caprio (@therealfrankcaprio) The news of Caprio's demise went viral over social media. Netizens took to X to share their tributes to him. Many took to the comments to write about him and many shared clippings of his famous and heartfelt judgements. Viral judge Frank Caprio has passed away at 88. — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) August 20, 2025 A user wrote, 'Judge Caprio is THE example of what Humanity means.' Another user added, 'As he heads for his final judgement, I have no doubt that Judge Frank Caprio will be judged in the same way that he carried out business in his court; with kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and an open heart.' Frank Caprio earned the nickname 'the nicest judge in the world' thanks to the warmth and compassion he brought into his courtroom. Instead of treating cases as mere legal formalities, he often approached them with empathy, giving people a chance to explain their struggles and reminding them that justice should never lose its human touch. Clips from his sessions, where he forgave fines for families in tough situations or shared a few words of encouragement, spread across social media, reaching more than a billion views. A lifelong resident of Providence, Rhode Island, Caprio spent decades on the municipal bench before his work was introduced to television. His show Caught in Providence, which aired nationally between 2018 and 2020 and received multiple Daytime Emmy nominations, showcased his philosophy: that fairness, kindness, and respect for dignity are as essential to justice as the law itself. Some of his most endearing moments came when he invited children to sit beside him and 'help' decide cases involving their parents, blending humor with heartfelt lessons. His rulings often carried broader messages, sometimes even gentle warnings about social media habits or reminders about everyday decency. In one unforgettable case, after waiving a red-light ticket for a bartender making only $3.84 an hour, Caprio looked into the camera and told viewers: 'If anyone's watching I want them to know you better not eat and run because you're going to get caught and the poor people who are working hard all day for three bucks an hour are going to have to pay your bill.'

Gauri Khan steals the spotlight in Chanel at Aryan Khan's directorial debut launch 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood'
Gauri Khan stole the spotlight at her son Aryan's directorial debut launch. She showcased a masterclass in luxury dressing. She wore a Chanel iridescent cotton tweed jacket worth ₹8,73,014.74, paired with flared black Chanel trousers and classic platform heels. Her understated elegance and confidence made black feel like pure power dressing. It was a proud family moment as Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan stepped out to support their son Aryan at the preview launch of 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood' Aryan's much-talked-about Netflix directorial debut. The evening had it all, emotions on stage, a proud dad moment, and of course, some seriously chic fashion. While Shah Rukh and Aryan played it safe in their signature all-black looks (sharp suits, effortless swagger, the works), it was Gauri who took the same colour palette and turned it into a masterclass in luxury dressing. For the big night, Gauri slipped into a Chanel Spring-Summer 2025 iridescent cotton tweed jacket, worth a cool ₹8,73,014.74. This wasn't just any black jacket, the subtle shimmer in the tweed caught the light beautifully, giving her look that understated-but-expensive vibe Chanel does so well. It was structured, polished, but still relaxed enough for an evening launch. She paired it with flared black Chanel trousers, which gave her a long, sleek silhouette and balanced out the jacket's structure perfectly. On her feet? Classic black platform heels that added height without taking attention away from the outfit. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo In true Gauri style, accessories were kept minimal because when you are wearing Chanel, you let the craftsmanship do the talking. Soft waves, glowing skin, a nude lip, and just enough eye definition kept the look fresh and unfussy. And while the night was all about Aryan's debut (and that sweet on-stage moment between father, mother, and son), Gauri's fashion moment definitely didn't go unnoticed. She proved, yet again, that she's got that rare talent for making black feel anything but basic, it's all about the cut, the fabric, and that effortless air of confidence. Black may be everyone's comfort zone, but in Gauri Khan's hands, it's pure power dressing.
