Dhanashree Verma, widely recognized as the wife of Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, has carved a niche for herself in the entertainment industry. However, does this come without its fair share of challenges? Not quite. She often finds herself subjected to online trolling, a common phenomenon in the realm of social media. While she typically refrains from responding to such instances, this time she decided to address the matter directly through her Instagram account, sparking a viral conversation.
Dhanashree Verma recently found herself embroiled in controversy after a photo of her with choreographer Pratik Utekar gained widespread attention, resulting in significant trolling and criticism. In an attempt to confront the issue head-on, she took to Instagram to share her perspective. Expressing her disappointment with the negativity surrounding the photo, she emphasized its impact on her family and close relationships. She called for greater empathy and sensitivity on social media platforms, urging users to consider the repercussions of their judgmental comments on others’ lives.
Reacting strongly against the trolls, Dhanashree Verma posted a video clarifying that behind her public persona lies a simple woman deserving of respect. In her own words,
“I have never in my life been affected by trolls or memes because definitely had a lot of maturity in ignoring or laughing it out loud until this very recent troll occurred. The reason it has affected me this time is because it has affected my family and my near and dear ones. Since you all have the freedom on social media platforms to speak your heart and characters out, that you tend to forget or choose to ignore the sentiments of us and our families. This led to the decision of me taking a detox from social media and trust me, it was very peaceful.”
She further says,
“But this also made me realize that if we make this medium so negative, then all we are doing is spreading hate and disharmony on a large scale. Social media is a major part of my work and I can’t give up which is why I have gathered courage today and my creative side here to come back on Instagram. Just requesting you guys to be little more sensitive and focus on our talent and skill because at the end of the day guys we are all here on this medium just to entertain you guys. So just don’t forget I’m also just a woman, just like your mother, your sister, your friend, your wife. And this is not done. It’s not fair. So guys, please, you know, I am known as a fighter and I never give up.”
