Did Dhanashree Verma Take an Indirect Dig at Yuzvendra Chahal? Here's What She Said

A brand-new reality show titled 'Rise And Fall' is set to make its debut on Amazon MX Player, bringing together 16 celebrities in a high-stakes game of power, privilege, and survival. Scheduled to premiere on September 6, 2025, the show will be hosted by Shark Tank India fame Ashneer Grover.

The format pits contestants against each other in two starkly different worlds — while some will live as “rulers" in a plush penthouse, others will toil as “workers" in a basement, struggling to climb the ladder of hierarchy. The first confirmed names include Arjun Bijlani, Kiku Sharda, Kubbra Sait, Nayandeep Rakshit, and Dhanashree Verma.

Dhanashree Verma's Indirect Dig at Yuzvendra Chahal?

In the latest promo, viewers got a glimpse of Nayandeep Rakshit as a worker and Dhanashree Verma stepping into the role of a ruler. With her trademark sass, Dhanashree is heard saying, “Queen ko star banne ki zarurat nahi hai aur waise bhi interviewers ki line lagi padi hai. Pent house mein jitne bhi sports channels hai na, maine bandh kar diye hai."

The remark has left fans speculating whether it was a subtle dig at her ex-husband, Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, given her mention of shutting down sports channels.

About Dhanashree and Yuzvendra Chahal's Divorce:

Dhanashree and Chahal tied the knot in 2020 but reportedly separated in 2022, finalising their divorce in March this year. As per reports, Chahal paid ₹4.75 crore in alimony to the dancer-choreographer.

The divorce stirred intense chatter online, with Dhanashree being subjected to trolling and labelled a “gold digger." The same day their divorce was finalised, Yuzi was spotted wearing a T-shirt with the phrase “Be Your Own Sugar Daddy", further fueling speculation.

In a recent interview with Humans of Bombay, Dhanashree opened up about dealing with public scrutiny. She admitted, “You know that people are going to blame you. Before I had even known that this T-shirt stunt had happened, we were all aware that people were going to blame me for this."
