Choreographer Dhanashree Verma has opened up on how she deals with narratives that may not be the truth during crisis in her personal life.

(Also Read | Dhanashree Verma on braving criticism, negativity during divorce with Yuzvendra Chahal: 'I have built myself so strong') Dhanashree spoke about the narratives that emerge about her adding that she doesn't pay heed to it. She said, 'The narratives circulating around me are far from the truth. None of it reflects who I am, and I don't engage with it because I know my values, my upbringing, and the kind of person I am. I've always believed in maintaining dignity and grace. Putting others down has never been my way, and it never helps anyone rise in life.' The choreographer spoke about love and how a person "can't plan these things". She said, "I've always been extremely focused on my goals, whether it was during my time as a dentist or now in the entertainment industry... Pyaar ki baat karein, toh (If we talk about love) you can't plan these things. Aap ye decide nahi kar sakte ke main aaj ya ek saal baad pyaar mein padhungi (You can't decide that I'll fall in love today or after a year). Love is a different entity altogether. What matters most to me is mera focus our main apne life mein aage kya dekh rahi hoon (my focus and what do I see ahead in my life)." In March this year, the Mumbai Court granted them a divorce after accepting their joint petition. They filed for divorce by mutual consent on February 5. However, on February 20, the family court refused to waive the mandatory six-month cooling-off period. The couple has lived apart since June 2022, 18 months after marriage. Rumours about Dhanashree and Yuzvendra's divorce began after the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram, sparking widespread speculation. Dhanashree and Yuzvendra tied the knot in December 2020 in an intimate ceremony in Gurugram. The pair chose to part ways after four years of marriage. The two met and connected during the pandemic via social media when Yuzvendra approached her for dance lessons.

Putting others down has never been my way, and it never helps anyone rise in life.' Dhanashree insisted that she has been focused on her work and has always maintained good intentions. 'Self-growth, self-love, and discipline have always guided me,' she said. While she firmly believes in her values, Dhanashree is also confident that 'her truth will eventually speak for themselves.' Dhanashree is slowly making a mark in the entertainment industry. She was recently seen in the song Ting Ling Sajna from Rajkummar Rao's film Bhool Chuk Maaf and will also make her Telugu debut with Akasam Daati Vastaava.

‘I am open to what the future…': What Dhanashree Verma's response to hate and name-calling after divorce from Yuzvendra Chahal tells us about healing from emotional trauma
Dhanashree Verma has broken her silence on the hate and name-calling she faced following her divorce from Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. The separation wasn't without noise — memes flooded social media with many calling her a gold-digger, and public judgement followed her every move. But Dhanashree remained steady. 'It doesn't bother me at all! 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,' she said in an interview with Times of India. 'The negativity and public criticism have never really bothered me since day 1, and it will never bother me ever.' The 28-year-old choreographer added that she now filters out anything that doesn't serve her personal growth. 'I have been working on myself even more now… I have completely changed my lifestyle and am focusing on self-love, inner strength, discipline, exercise, good food, and surrounding myself with people who look up to me. I want to be a part of a journey that inspires people around me.' And while her first marriage may have ended on a difficult note, her faith in love remains intact. 'I will always say and believe that love is a beautiful aspect of life, and your understanding of it evolves over time… I am open to what the future holds for me, but for now, it is my career and my family that are of utmost importance to me.' Neha Parashar, clinical psychologist at Mindtalk, tells 'Emotional resilience in the face of public criticism isn't about becoming immune to pain, it's about learning how to process that pain in healthy ways. One of the most powerful tools in building this resilience is self-awareness. When individuals are anchored in their values and have a clear sense of identity, external opinions tend to hold less power over their emotional state.' Cultivating a routine that includes grounding practices, whether mindfulness, journaling, therapy, or even just time away from screens, helps create a mental buffer. In addition, reframing the narrative around public criticism (e.g., recognising that hate often says more about the speaker than the subject) can lessen its emotional impact. Dhanashree spoke about changing her lifestyle, focusing on self-love, exercising, and surrounding herself with supportive people. 'These strategies may seem simple on the surface, but they are incredibly effective because they address both the body and the mind. Exercise, for instance, is not just about physical health, it's a proven way to regulate mood, improve sleep, and release pent-up emotions. Similarly, self-love isn't about indulgence; it's about treating oneself compassionately, especially during vulnerable periods,' states Parashar. Having a supportive circle is equally critical. Parashar notes that emotional recovery is not a solitary journey; trusted relationships provide validation, perspective, and a safe healing space. 'Over time, these practices help rebuild a sense of emotional safety and confidence, allowing individuals to move forward with more clarity and strength.'

Dhanashree Verma opens up on growth after divorce from Yuzvendra Chahal, reacts to 'misconceptions'
Dancer, choreographer Dhanashree Verma opened up about life for the first time in an interview. She opened up about growth in life since her divorce from Yuzvendra Chahal. She also talked about misconceptions about her which spread around the time of her divorce. When asked how she has grown as a person since the divorce, Dhanashree told Bombay Times, "The challenges life throws at you teach you some of the most valuable and beautiful lessons. The biggest thing I have learnt is the importance of self-reliance and how my parents have raised a strong daughter. It has been a phase of growth and self-discovery, and I would like to continue with this as I am appreciative of how it has shaped me as a person.' Dhanashree and Yuzvendra had a highly publicised divorce. There were initial rumours about Dhanashree demanding ₹ 60 crore as alimony. On the day of their divorce hearing, Yuzvendra Chahal made headlines when he was spotted wearing a T-shirt that read 'Be your own sugar daddy.' "I just want to focus on my work and let it speak for itself. Clarifying misconceptions often leads to more speculations, and if I would want any speculations, I would want it to be only and only around my work. I am focusing on my personal growth and professional commitments and would want it to be the leading narrative of my life," she added during the conversation. Dhanashree Verma and Yuzvendra Chahal finalised their divorce on March 20. She hopes that her journey has inspired others to strengthen their shield and weapons. 'I have been extremely disciplined in my life, and that has been one of the reasons, for me to stay positive and motivated, helping me put out the best work. Dancing, singing, and acting make me feel alive, as it is my passion, and it is enough to keep me positive. I stay true to my values and beliefs and keep on reminding myself of the reason why I started this journey. There are tough times, but my passion for my craft helps me stay focused and strong. I believe in working hard and letting it speak for me," she said. On the work front, Dhanashree was last seen in a special dance number, titled Ting Ling Sajna from the latest released film Bhool Chuk Maaf. Starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, the film was released in theatres on May 23, 2025. Dhanashree is said to make her Telugu debut soon.
