‘I cannot even express what I was feeling at – Firstpost

Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma’s divorce grabbed eyeballs earlier this year. While the actress-choreographer remained silent about this phase, in a recent interview, she spoke about the ending of her 5-year marriage and how it took an emotional toll on her.

“It was very emotional for me and my family,” Dhanashree said while talking to Humans of Bombay. “I still remember when I was standing there and the verdict was about to be given, even though you are so mentally prepared that it is going to happen, it was still so emotional. I literally started howling and crying in front of everybody. I cannot even express what I was feeling at that point of time,” she added.

Explaining how she took an exit from the back gate to avoid media frenzy, Dhanashree said, “I got out from the back gate because I was not liking that. It was just very sad, you don’t want cameras all over your face. Humko kuch nahi bataana tha, I was wearing normal t-shirt and jeans. I sat in the car, my best friend was there with me, and we were still trying to grasp our breath. It was that shaky moment, especially when you know people will blame you only.”

“Even before I knew about this T-shirt stunt, we were aware that people were going to hold me responsible for the divorce. In your head, you just want to move forward once it’s over. Until I took out my phone and saw it, I didn’t want to believe it. Ye sach mein isne aisa kiya? (Did he really do this?) In that one second, I was like—it’s over. Why should I cry? Somewhere I felt bad, questioning myself—main kyu ro rahi thi? (Why was I crying?) For this? That was the motivation I needed: I just had to laugh it out. In fact, that helped me,” she shared.

When questioned if the t-shirt was the final message, she laughed and replied, “Arre bhai, WhatsApp kardeta!”
