Dhanashree Verma has recently opened up about the personal and professional struggles she faced while being married to cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. In a candid chat with Farah Khan on her vlog, Dhanashree reflected on how the pressures of marriage and frequent travel often made it challenging for her to manage her career aspirations.
What's Happening
- When asked about the effect of marriage on her career opportunities, Dhanashree admitted that striking a balance was far from easy.
- "To be honest, ma'am, it does become difficult because I had to travel. There, I had to go to Gurgaon also, then come back to Mumbai and pick things again. So it was difficult but my mom has taught me that you have to do it. So, I know that I have given my hundred percent," she shared.
- The dancer further revealed that while her parents were heartbroken when her marriage ended, it was the public scrutiny that left her more shaken.
- "Both have accepted everything gracefully, and moved on, and now we wish well for each other," Dhanashree said, adding that she and Chahal continue to stay in touch. "I am in touch with Yuzi also on messages. He used to call me maa, he is sweet only," she remarked.
Background
Dhanashree and Yuzvendra Chahal got married in 2020 after a whirlwind romance but separated soon after. Their divorce was finalised in March 2025, putting an end to their four-year marriage. Despite the split, both have expressed that they parted ways amicably and continue to share mutual respect.
