People online have erupted into chaos over a single picture, as Yuzvendra Chahal's wife, Dhanashree Verma, found herself at the centre of intense criticism for her 'cozy' picture with choreographer Pratik Utekar. Soon after the photo was posted and became viral, netizens lambasted Chahal's wife for 'opting to share such an intimate picture' with someone other than her husband.
Also adding fuel to the fire was when Dhanashree Verma remained unperturbed by the online backlash and proceeded to share another Instagram Story featuring Pratik Utekar on Sunday (March 3).
This sparked rumours of divorce, accompanied by a flurry of trolls and memes. Many even blamed Dhanashree for Chahal's cricketing setbacks. Some have gone as far as to suggest that one should not marry an influencer.
Previously, Dhanashree's name was also even linked with Chahal's India teammate Shreyas Iyer, especially due to their dancing videos. Rumours about marital discord between Chahal and Dhanashree also circulated on social media.
