Dhanashree Verma, recognized widely as the spouse of Indian cricket star Yuzvendra Chahal, has garnered attention not only for her association with cricket but also for her remarkable dancing prowess.
Having participated in the latest season of the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, Verma’s recent picture with choreographer Pratik Utekar has set the internet abuzz. However, the attention she’s receiving isn’t all positive; in fact, it’s far from it.
The photograph, taken during the finale party of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11, portrays Dhanashree alongside choreographer Pratik, with Pratik’s arm wrapped around her in a manner some perceive as overly familiar.
This seemingly a really close image triggered a flurry of criticism and trolling aimed at Dhanashree across various social media platforms. Interestingly, the event was hosted by Farah Khan, with Yuzvendra Chahal also in attendance.
The photo originally shared by Choreographer Pratik himself with a caption jokingly implying a newfound neighborly connection with Dhanashree ”
“Finally realised we are neighbours hahahahaha
@dhanashree9
Fighter of our show”
drew further attention when Dhanashree responded with a simple “Thank you” on her story.
Notably, comments were disabled on Pratik’s post, likely due to the anticipated backlash.
Netizens wasted no time in expressing their disapproval of the snapshot, flooding social media platforms with posts and memes highlighting their discomfort. On platforms like Twitter, users like Sujeet Suman voiced their discontent with the perceived intimacy in the image.
What will be the Dhanashree Verma reaction if Yuzvendra Chahal does this constantly with his ladies friends ?
We all are human and any husband who loves his wife will be hurt by these incidents. This is utter nonsense, and needs to be stopped. pic.twitter.com/xKW2tf7K9v

This incident comes at a challenging time for Yuzvendra Chahal, who has recently been excluded from the BCCI central contract list despite his commendable performances in T20 cricket. However, amidst these professional setbacks, he has remained a supportive husband, particularly evident in his encouragement of Dhanashree’s journey on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11.
Looking ahead, Chahal is focused on making a strong comeback in the upcoming IPL season with the Rajasthan Royals. As opinions continue to swirl regarding the controversial snapshot, it remains to be seen how this incident will impact the couple’s public image.
