Dhanashree Verma 'Repented' Supporting Ex-Husband Yuzvendra Chahal Even When He Was Wrong

Dhanashree Verma 'Repented' Supporting Ex-Husband Yuzvendra Chahal Even When He Was Wrong
Dhanashree Verma has once again opened up about her separation from Yuzvendra Chahal. The choreographer, who is currently a part of Rise and Fall, was recently seen interacting with her co-contestant Arbaaz Patel, when she mentioned that she had supported the Indian cricketer even when he was wrong.
Dhanashree spoke to Arbaaz after his girlfriend, Nikki Tamboli, who recently graced Ashneer Grover's show, expressed her strong dislike towards Dhanashree. “I couldn't sleep the whole night, just kept crying, I didn't feel good about a lot of things. It has been very difficult for me to do this show. I know, a person like me who has gotten so much hate from outside, her friend is hated on the show, and I still stood by you. I never said anything other than how I have been asking you to mend your ways. You are my friend and will stay that," Dhanashree told Arbaaz.
She then got emotional recalling her past with Chahal and added, “I must have behaved differently for a day or two, but that was for my safety. Everyone asked me to maintain a distance from you. The least I deserved from Nikki was a thank you. I have put more effort into this friendship than necessary, but I want to step back because I have justified myself too much. I don't want to do this. I have done this in my life, even when my partner was wrong, I supported him, and then I repented it, so I don't want that repeated," Verma added.
Dhanashree has often talked about her former husband, Chahal, on Rise and Fall. In one of the recent episodes too, she opened up about their relationship, revealing details of their engagement, marriage, and eventual split.
Speaking to actor Arjun Bijlani, Dhanashree shared, “It was love and arranged both. It started off as an arranged marriage. Basically, he wanted to get married without dating, and I wasn't even planning for anything like that."
She said Chahal was sure about her from the beginning, while she needed convincing. “I got convinced due to the amount of love that was poured into the whole process. We did our Roka (engagement) in August, and then we got married in December. During that time, I travelled with him, and we stayed together. I started seeing subtle changes in his behaviour. There is a difference between how people act when they want something compared to when they get it."
Despite noticing those changes, Dhanashree said she tried to make things work. “Even though I saw him changing, I put my trust into him and the relationship. My problem is that I love giving too many chances to the people around me. But eventually, I got done with it. I tried to do everything I could from my side and give my hundred per cent. I'll always be concerned for him; that much I can guarantee."
