“Parents asked me to leave, but I chose patience”: Dhanashree Verma on being with Chahal

The CSR Journal Magazine

Popular choreographer and social media influencer Dhanashree Verma has made a candid revelation about her marriage with Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. In a recent interview, she admitted that her parents had once suggested she should walk away from the relationship during a difficult phase. The confession has drawn widespread attention among fans, as both Dhanashree and Chahal have often been in the limelight not just for their professional success but also for their personal life together.

Dhanashree, known for her dance clips and YouTube presence, tied the knot with Chahal in December 2020 in a much-celebrated ceremony. Since then, the couple has remained popular among fans, with their social media posts often receiving affectionate responses. However, rumours about friction in their marriage have surfaced several times, making this latest revelation particularly striking.

Private Struggles Behind a Public Marriage

Speaking openly about her marital journey, Dhanashree shared that there were moments when things seemed difficult enough for her parents to advise separation. According to her, every marriage undergoes phases where partners face misunderstandings, distance, or stress, and her relationship was no different. She added that her parents, out of concern for her happiness, felt that ending the marriage could be an option if she was truly unhappy.

However, Dhanashree clarified that parental words often come from a place of protection rather than finality. She emphasised that while her parents gave such advice, it was she who ultimately had to decide the course of her life. Explaining further, she said that relationships are built with patience and resilience, and she believed in giving time for situations to improve rather than rushing to an end.

This admission has brought to light the emotional challenges faced even by celebrity couples who appear picture-perfect in public. Fans are now seeing a vulnerable side of Dhanashree that contrasts with the confident dancer and cheerful partner they usually see on social platforms.

Standing by Chahal in tough times

Apart from speaking about her own struggles, Dhanashree also mentioned the challenges cricketers face because of their demanding schedules. Chahal, who plays across formats for India and in the IPL, spends most of his months travelling for tournaments, training, and matches. This leaves limited time for family life, which can naturally create pressures in marriage.

Dhanashree underlined that she has always tried to stand by her husband during both his professional highs and lows. She pointed out that it is important for partners of sportspersons to accept the restless lifestyle and constant scrutiny that comes along with fame. According to her, while the world often sees cricketers as heroes on the field, the reality of their personal life is filled with sacrifices that are rarely discussed.

Interestingly, despite admitting that questions over the marriage did arise, Dhanashree also asserted that she and Chahal continue to work on strengthening their bond. The choreographer feels proud of their ability to overcome obstacles without letting media speculation come in the way of their relationship.

Fans Support

After her statements went viral on social media, fans and followers reacted with a mix of surprise and understanding. While some expressed concern, many applauded Dhanashree for being honest about the pressures of marriage. A section of supporters urged the couple to stay strong together, while others felt the discussion highlighted how modern marriages, like traditional ones, go through turbulent phases.

Dhanashree’s words have also sparked discussions on how families in India often respond to marital challenges. The fact that she admitted her parents advised separation shows the generational shift in approach, as many older families once discouraged talks of divorce or separation even in troubled marriages.

For now, both Chahal and Dhanashree have chosen not to make any further clarifications. Instead, Chahal remains focused on his cricketing commitments while Dhanashree continues her projects in dance and content creation. The couple’s well-wishers believe that their ability to be transparent and supportive of each other will help them navigate challenges in the long run.
