Dhanashree Verma, the dancer, choreographer, and actress, has recently spoken out about her life following her divorce from Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. The couple, who married in December 2020, officially divorced in March 2025 after a period of separation. In a recent interview, Dhanashree addressed the narratives surrounding her, her perspective on love, and how she is focusing on her future.
Dhanashree addressed the rumors and scrutiny she faced after the divorce announcement. She clarified that the narratives circulating about her are far from the truth and do not reflect who she is. She emphasized the importance of maintaining dignity and grace, stating that "Putting others down has never been my way, and it never helps anyone rise in life.” Instead of engaging with negativity, she chooses to focus on her values, upbringing, and personal growth. Dhanashree's dignified stance has resonated with her fans, particularly young women who view her as a symbol of inner strength and ambition.
When asked about her views on finding love again, Dhanashree shared that while she is open to the possibility, she is not actively chasing it. "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." She emphasized that love is not something you can plan; it's destiny. Her primary focus remains on her evolving career in Bollywood and Telugu cinema, where she is set to debut in Akasam Daati Vastaava. This organic and unforced outlook on life has further endeared her to fans.
Dhanashree's approach to dealing with public scrutiny involves choosing silence, grace, and a deep-rooted belief in karma and self-worth. She acknowledges the emotional toll that false assumptions can take but focuses on channeling her energy into work that matters and a future filled with artistic purpose. She also highlighted that her dedication to her goals has always been unwavering, whether she was pursuing a career as a dentist or now, as a member of the entertainment industry. Currently, her focus is where it should be – on taking on larger projects that allow her to entertain audiences.
The divorce between Dhanashree and Yuzvendra Chahal was finalized in March 2025, with the Mumbai Family Court granting their petition for divorce by mutual consent. The couple had been living separately since June 2022, citing compatibility issues as the reason for their separation. Rumors about their separation first surfaced after they unfollowed each other on Instagram.
