'It was hateful, hurtful to hear all of that' - Dhanashree Verma breaks silence on separation with Yuzvendra Chahal

After days of speculations about Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma’s separation, the latter put an end to the saga with a social media post, busting all the rumors and setting the facts straight. She called the rumours “baseless” and all the news encompassing the matter “hateful and hurtful.”

Dhanashree, in her post, revealed that she had torn her ACL ligament and that she would be undergoing surgery as she wishes to dance again. She said that she was trying to digest the fact that she would not be able to do basic activities like she used to, and also thanked her husband for his support.

“Here are some REAL life updates,” Dhanashree wrote on Instagram.  “Needed all that sleep to recover. It’s funny though, I opened my eyes feeling so confident & strong today. Something I was seeking for the past 14 days. I had completely lost confidence due to my knee injury that happened while dancing (my last reel) & I landed up tearing my ACL ligament.”

This is exactly when people picked up some random news about us: Dhanashree Verma

Dhanashree said that she has been resting at home and that all the movement she has had is from her bed to the couch in the last few days, along with physiotherapy and rehab. She mentioned that her husband, family, and close friends helped her get through this phase.

“I was trying really hard to wrap my head around this shocking news of not being able to do the basic things in life adequately,” Dhanashree further wrote. “This is when I needed the most support, and this is exactly the time when people picked up some random news about us! It was pretty hateful, hence hurtful, for me to hear all of that. It was draining, to say the least.”

The choreographer also stated that she is not going to let any injury or baseless rumours take away the respect that she had earned with grace and hard work. She expressed that this has lifted her confidence and made her fearless. “I have worked hard & have I gradually & gracefully earned my respect. I am not going to let this injury or any baseless rumours take that away from me.”
