“It was pretty hateful”- Dhanashree Verma Chahal deeply hurt by fake news 

Yuvendra Chahal’s wife Dhanashree Verma took to Instagram on Sunday (August 21) to express her reaction to the fake news of her separation from the cricketer doing the rounds on the internet.

The choreographer shared a lengthy message expressing her feelings on social media as she recovers from a knee injury.

She expressed how the fake news had a 'draining' effect on her while terming it as ‘hateful and hurtful.'

“It was pretty hateful, hence hurtful, for me to hear all of that. It was draining to say the least.”

She added:

“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 also said that Yuzvendra Chahal has been supporting her during rehabilitation as she recovers from a knee injury.

“I had completely lost confidence due to my knee injury that happened while dancing (my last reel) & I landed up tearing my ACL ligament.”

“I have been resting at home & the only movement I have had is from my bed to my couch (along with physiotherapy & rehab every day). What has also got me through this is the support of my near and dear ones, including my husband, my family and my closest friends.”

Earlier, the couple had shared a message on Instagram, asking everyone not to believe the rumors.

“A humble request to you all to not believe in any sort of rumors, pertaining to our relationship. Kindly, put an end to it. Love and light to everyone."

Chahal and Dhanashree tied the knot in a private ceremony in December 2020. The couple enjoys a huge fan following on social media owing to their entertaining videos.
