Looks like Yuzvendra Chahal’s sister, Kenaa Dwivedi, has taken an indirect dig at his former wife, Dhanashree Verma. Recently, Chahal’s sister took to her Instagram handle and penned down a sweet note for her brother on the occasion of Bhai Dooj. In her note to Chahal, she praised the cricketer for respecting women and maintaining silence even when the “world turned mean”.
“You’re also the man who truly respects women, the one who addresses every woman as “ma’am,” who protects the dignity of every soul around him, and who chooses silence when the world turns mean. Even when I get upset and ask, “Why don’t you say something?” you always remind me that sometimes, time heals everything and silence speaks the loudest,” she wrote.
“People who know your heart, your character, and your soul feel that protective energy that warmth and strength that makes everyone around you feel safe. Thank you for every teaching, every laugh, and every lesson you’ve given me. I know I’ll make mistakes along the way, but I also know you’ll be there to bring me back on track, just like you always do,” Chahal’s sister added.
Interestingly, this comes days after Dhanashree Verma’s Rise and Fall ended. During her stint in the show, the choreographer, who was previously married to Chahal, was often seen talking about her former husband. In one of the episodes, 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.”
