Dhanashree Verma Reacts To Troll Attacks After Divorce With Yuzvendra Chahal: "Never Really Bothered Me"
Cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and content creator Dhanashree Verma, who tied the knot in December 2020, officially ended their marriage on March 20, 2025. The divorce came as a shock to many fans and led to relentless public attention, along with rumours that Chahal is dating popular RJ Mahvash.
Amid the swirling speculation and public scrutiny, Verma opened up for the first time about how she has dealt with the aftermath of the divorce.
In a conversation with the Times of India, Verma revealed how she managed to rise above the continuous negativity and public criticism.
"It doesn't bother me at all!" she shared, "I have surrounded myself with great inner strength, and I am so dedicated that my focus has always been on my work, as I have a lot of responsibilities. I have guarded myself and have built myself so strong that I just focus on my work, which will speak for everything. The negativity and public criticism have never really bothered me since Day 1, and it will never bother me ever.'
Dhanashree said she takes each day and challenge as lessons learned; some of which, she says, are the "most valuable and beautiful lessons". She describes this as a phase of "growth and self-discovery".
Verma has been the target of several rumours, including being branded a gold digger. However, she said she does not want to address such accusations, and that she believes that clarifying them only invites more speculation.
"Clarifying misconceptions often leads to more speculation, and if I would want any speculation, I would want it to be only and only around my work," she told the Times of India.
The 28-year-old has channelled all her energy into her personal growth and career. She emphasises the importance of surrounding herself with positivity and staying clear about her goals.
She wants her personal growth and professional commitments, rather than her love life, to be the "leading narrative of her life".
Verma recently returned to the spotlight with a special dance number titled Ting Ling Sajna in Bhool Chuk Maaf, starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi. The romantic comedy, directed by Karan Sharma, was released in theatres on May 23.
Dhanashree and Yuzvendra, who were married for five years, began dating during the Covid lockdown, when the cricketer signed up for Verma's online dance classes. They were married in December 2020, and lived separately for 18 months before the divorce came through in March 2025.

Bigg Boss 18 fame Edin Rose opens up about freezing her eggs; says 'I want babies, but I don't know about the man part yet'
Edin Rose, who rose to fame with her appearance on Bigg Boss 18, has always caught attention for her strong presence and vibrant personality. With her fan following growing steadily, Edin has been making waves both on-screen and off-screen. The actress recently wrapped up the shoot for her upcoming film Love Insurance Kompany, which is backed by superstar Nayanthara's production. While her professional journey is on a steady rise, Edin also continues to win hearts with her grounded and kind nature. In a recent interview with Filmygyaan, she made a personal revelation that has sparked both curiosity and admiration: 'I'm going to freeze my eggs, I want babies but I don't know about the man part yet. I am going to do it in two days. I'm going to freeze my eggs. I want babies. I am 26, I'm turning 27 and I feel like my life is getting over as I'm getting old. If it were to happen organically and I get married well and good. I'm a family oriented person. I do want to get married and have kids but there's a high chance I won't find a partner how I want him to be because of the generation we live in." She further added, "My mom came two days ago because I was super sick and I sat her down. I told her I want to have a very important conversation with you. I told her this week I'm going to freeze my eggs. My mom is a very open minded person but in such things she's a little old school and she gave me a look. I was like what? She told me why can't you do things the traditional way and she asked me to get married. I said 'get married to who?' Do you know any man because I don't know any man? She is like rishte aate rehte hain. I told her why would I want to go through that trauma aaj banda accha hai kal nahi hua toh? What if he doesn't love me? I've seen so many cases where a man is head-over-heels in love with a woman, she gets pregnant and is busy with kids and that man is cheating. Who wants to go through it? I told my mom look your husband was good, mine might not be so let me just freeze my eggs because I want babies beautiful like me. I am very fond of kids, but I don't know about the man part." In an age where conversations about fertility, single parenting, and women's autonomy are finally getting the space they deserve, Edin's candidness adds an authentic voice to the dialogue.
