‘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.'

Will she get to know about Jhanak's pregnancy? And most importantly, will she be able to assist?

‘My dad is much happier with Bebo': Ibrahim Ali Khan says parents Amrita Singh and Saif shielded him from ‘pain' of divorce; can a child still feel distressed?
When parents separate, it's often assumed that the emotional fallout is inevitable — especially for the children. But what happens when both parents consciously protect their kids from the bitterness of a breakup? Actor Ibrahim Ali Khan recently offered a rare glimpse into his experience of growing up in a divorced household in an interview with GQ. When asked about his parents separating when he was young, he revealed, 'I was four or five years old, so I don't remember much. It was probably different for Sara as she was older. But my mom and dad have done a great job of ensuring I didn't feel the pain that comes with a broken home. I never saw them lose their cool at each other. Some things are just not meant to be.' He went on to add, 'Now my dad is much happier with Bebo [Kareena Kapoor] and I've got two very handsome and naughty brothers. And my mom is the best mother ever. She takes great care of me, and I live with her. It's all good.' His words hint at something many advocate for but few manage to implement — a peaceful, respectful post-divorce environment for the children's sake. 'Yes, absolutely,' says Neha Parashar, clinical psychologist, Mindtalk. She adds that even without visible conflict, children can internalise feelings of loss, confusion, or divided loyalty when parents separate. 'Just because a separation is peaceful on the surface doesn't mean the child has emotionally processed the change. Children often pick up on subtle shifts in dynamics, like altered routines, emotional absences, or unspoken tensions.' A post shared by Sara Ali Khan (@saraalikhan95) According to Parashar, some children may also suppress their discomfort out of a desire to protect one or both parents, especially if they feel everyone else has 'moved on.' 'This can lead to quiet distress that doesn't always show up as overt behavior problems. Attachment issues can stem not just from how the separation occurs, but from how safe, heard, and emotionally connected the child continues to feel with both parents after it happens,' she notes. The solution? Therapeutic spaces or open conversations with trusted adults can help the child make sense of their emotions, even when there isn't 'visible conflict.' Parashar explains, 'It's not about whether parents fought or not, but about how supported and secure the child felt during and after the transition.' That sense of support and resilience also seems to echo in how Ibrahim has dealt with personal challenges beyond his family life. During the same interview, the Nadaaniyan actor also opened up about dealing with a hearing disability since birth. 'Soon after I was born, I had very bad jaundice and that went straight to my brainstem. I went on to lose quite a bit of my hearing and that impacted my speech,' he said, noting that he has worked hard on improving his speech. 'My speech is something that I've had to work hard on since I was a child, with coaches and therapists. It's not perfect; I'm still working really hard on it.' Ibrahim's experiences reflect his strength — the kind that usually comes not just from overcoming physical challenges, but from growing up in an environment where resilience, acceptance, and emotional safety were prioritised.
