Dhanashree Verma, who is currently seen in Rise And Fall, opened up about the negative PR she faced during and after her divorce with ex-husband
Yuzvendra Chahal. In a latest episode of Rise And Fall, Dhanashree opened up about her ex-husband and revealed that she no longer has any interest in pursuing love.
Indian cricketer and Dhanashree's ex-husband Yuzvendra shocked everyone when he arrived at the final divorce hearing wearing a'be your own sugar daddy' T-shirt, which drew a massive trolling for Dhanashree. Responding to the incident, Dhanashree in the latest episode opened up about how she feels being responsible for the other person's respect in a marriage.
She said, "Sabke haath mein apni izzat hoti hai, and when you are in a marriage, you are responsible for the other person too. Their respect is also your responsibility. I could have been disrespectful too, you think I don’t have things to say, as a woman? But he was my husband, I respected him even when I was married, and I have to respect the fact that I was married to him."
The dancer and social media influencer further shared that she is not interested in love anymore. "I’m not cynical about love, maybe that's a harsh word, but I’m not interested."
Speaking about facing massive trolling, she said, "If you want to portray yourself in a good light, let your work speak, why put somebody else down to clean your image?"
She added, "When you know, no matter what I do, I am not going to be criticised, then you don’t have fear. We live in a country where we know support will be favoured to one particular side. Still, if you want to discuss that, then it’s intentional — but it’s okay, please, everyone be happy."
