Dhanashree Verma has garnered severe criticism for taking Rs 4.75 crore alimony from Yuzvendra Chahal. While fans are showering their support to the cricketer, Ritika Sajdeh, the wife of the captain of the Indian Cricket team Rohit Sharma, liked a video in which a journalist bashed Dhanashree and called her a ‘gold digger’.
In the video, director Shubhankar Mishra said, “Dhanashree ke case main, Dhanashree ko apni doosri zindagi shuru karne main badi takleefo ka saamna karna pada. Chahal ke fans unhe troll karenge. Chahal ke fans unhe troll karenge. Aise main, paisa rahega toh yeh empowerment deta hai. Taakat ka ehsas deta hai. Phir mere mann main sawal aata hai, ‘Toh phir yeh nahi kehna chahiye na ki I’m a self-made woman?"
“Phir jo Chahal aapka mazaak udane ke liye T-shirt pehen raha hai jispe likha hai be your own sugar daddy ya voh log jo aapko gold-digger keh rahe hain, unn baaton se aapko bohot parhez nahi karna chahiye kyuki aap paise le rahe ho," he added. Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika liked this video clip on Instagram.
There were reports that Dhanashree was seeking Rs 60 crore in alimony from the cricketer. However, her family dismissed these claims and called these alimony reports ‘baseless’.
“We are deeply outraged by the baseless claims being circulated about the alimony figure. Let me be absolutely clear—no such amount has ever been asked, demanded, or even offered. There is no truth to these rumours whatsoever. It is deeply irresponsible to publish such unverified information, dragging not just the parties but also their families into unnecessary speculation. Reckless reporting like this only causes harm, and we urge the media to exercise restraint and fact-check before spreading misinformation and also be respectful towards everyone’s privacy," the statement read.
