Choreographer and digital creator Dhanashree Verma, currently a contestant on the reality show Rise And Fall, has made headlines after speaking openly about her marriage with cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal.
During a casual breakfast-table conversation with actor Kubbra Sait, Dhanashree Verma was asked, “When did you realise in your relationship that, ‘Bhai, yeh nahi chal sakta, yeh mistake ho gaya hai abhi?’” Without hesitation, she replied, “First year. Caught him in the second month.”
The revelation left Kubbra visibly stunned, and soon, the clip began circulating widely online.
